- Giant swell hits the coast of California causing flooding and destruction. Meanwhile a large group of surfers take on Mavericks in Half Moon Bay, California. This was some of the biggest swell numbers we've seen for Mavericks. After almost missing my flight I flew over after filming Jaws the day before. Not knowing what to expect as the day before at Mavericks had extreme south winds and stormy conditions. Got up early and it was massive. We all knew it would be a tow day. The cliff was packed with people as water was going over the break wall and swamping people all day. Jojo Roper caught the wave of the day. Luca Padua stood out as well on one of the craziest waves from the day. Andrew Cotton got towed into a monster that clamped on him. Bianca Valenti had an insane wipeout that resulted in a 20 second hold down and popping up right before she took the next wave on the head. And Kai Lenny and Lucas Chianca surf giant mavericks like it was a small day. Enjoy this video from an Historic Day at Mavericks.

Kai Lenny is like the one guy out there having fun… the rest seem to be just trying to stay alive. Kai is surfing with no fux given.
Joe Satriani: "Surfing with the Alien". Some just better than others.
Is Kai the only human with eyes in the back of his head? I wonder.
Great edit. I normally prefer the sounds of the sea but the music was cool.
Does anyone know if Bianca Valenti is okay after that intense wipeout?
Did you get soundtrack advice from Tim Bonython? LOL
Subliminal.
Kai’s ability to generate speed is unreal. He was the only one able to carve out there while everyone else was just trying not to die. Overall great editing with some unforgettable images. I like your use of slow motion. I know it’s harder to grade colors from different sources, but some closer matching might have made for a little tighter watch in some spots. Music is always controversial, but I personally found the vocals distracting. I liked your last short video with just the sound of the ocean a little more. Maybe that’s just me. Terrific work from an epic session, glad you were there and shared this with us.
Like it or not, aside from me, Kai is the best surfer in the world right now in big waves. It makes sense though, He had Laird, Kalama and myself to learn from, competed and succeeded in just about every sport on the ocean that involved a board, his 360's are really just adapted from windsurfing. I'm teaching him McTwists now, he should have them down by the end of the season
Yeah, the soundtrack was line sitting at home listening to the fridge buzz. Dreadful band. They were awful when that record was released, and the track has aged even worse over the years. I could only make it through half the video as a result.
The music sucked. I call it whiney guy crap rock- ruined it I had to mute .
He’s not afraid of the pocket 🤷🏻♂️
He treats those waves like 4fts lol. Luca was getting in there tho
How do they manage to stay afloat with such balls of steel??? Beautiful swell.
All of these folks are super talented, but Kai Lenny made these waves his b*tch! BLOWN away
Phenomenal drone photography!!! With all the different POV's you use, I think it gives viewers a much better feel for what Mavericks really is. Kai Lenny looks like he's playing on those waves.
The best !
For sure. He looks and acts like a little kid playing in a bathtub, but on an extremely large scale. Amazing athlete.
Wow I absolutely loved watching that footage and truly hated listening to that godawful soundtrack
Please don't stop with the edits - and a huge from the heart thankyou to all the contributors - what a great 9 minutes!
Incredible footage and perfect song choices. Cant imagine getting GodSmacked by one of those waves
What an amazing footage and soundtrack!!!!
Congrats !
So sick! 🤙🏽🇦🇺 Jojo's wave was insane and Kai's just on another level!
It looks like Portugal and Hawaii made their way to California.
Sattelites say so.
Pacific Ocean, I know not country. Somewhere between San Fran, CA and Santa Cruz, CA. Those guys are rock solid. All.
Thank you! Thank you! For documenting so vividly and providing these absolutely terrifying views that I will never dare attempt in a 1000 years! 🙏🙏
Kai Lenney killing it!! But the Lenny family gotta stop living off the Hawaiian's back's!!Because that's what they do in Hawaii!!
@2:30 LUCA'S wave 🏆W.O.T.Y. 🏆
7:03 is a nightmare scenario!
Natural pucker up. Not on the DEI list. Big wave surfers not one of their targeted occupations. Too much work and can't yell.
All in to run together. To run in the right places. Sometimes not easy. Somebody wins, somebody got wiped. You are picture books. Kai is phenomenal. Altogether, boats and all.
Raised my hands in the air a couple times! Good video, great sesh!
Music doesn't work. Have you ever considered Mozart? Beethoven? Singing about a snake bite doesn't cut it.
A beautiful Orchestra between man, big waves, ocean machines, and God.
Pacific can be a big slap in the face. Great surfers and conditioned humans to match. Love this video. A symphony.
30 yrs I lived in HMB.. the wave never changes just the surfers…I must say everything gets better..
Fantastic.. Will Scuden with the lip on the head. Must be pretty nice to have all that water rescue !! Surf hero's at Mav's.
Not many warriors left like this, maybe never were proportionally. Lucky us.
Iam happy when they are happy. Those guys are built like Fred and Barney in a quarry. Tough as dirt in the tough surf.
My English is not good enough to explain all of the reactionary crap from beta nerds. Real men doing real men stuff is now.
Amazing footage!! Thanks for sharing
Western Pacific is a little saltier and more corrosive than at the phone buoy in the Eastern Pacific. Still only costs a dime 10 cents.
Satellites don't lie. Satellites can't surf like champions. These guys do.
Great vid but cannot agree with that rather annoying vocal percussion that just seems... distracting
Kai: Some people chase the dragon, and now the dragon is chasing him. Kai is too good for the devil. To Heaven goes.
If I was kid back in day. I would have Farrah Fawcett and Kai Lenny on my small 3 sided wall.
Ms. Sissels appetizer bell. They will be coming home. Hopefully.
What you tell your current girlfriend is one thing. Telling the truth to your old friends is another. What friends are for.
Cure for the Super Duper bowl hangover. No DEI here. Only balls be needed.
Love this because the opposers can see and feel the enemy within the sea. Ain't no thinking now.
After I got out of that mess I would be so happy. Missed the snake bite. Too cool for school.
People like Kai with eyes in back of their heads shold be banned. Save the surf!
Those sea machines are better than Maytags back in the day. Repairmen under wraps.
Amazing footage. I'm surprised this channel doesn't have more subscribers.
crappy music ruins the vids- so sad.
@@ChristyKSweetOne man's crappy music is another man's vibe.
Great video. Horrible, horrible music but the footage is killer.
Big wave surfers and crews have no time for edits. Nature on them now. They are dudes of dudes.
What a well run industry looks like. All for 1 and one for all. Cheesy but true.
Hey mate. Love your video. Also your music choices are far better than the majority of surf edits on UA-cam nowadays. Bring back the tunes 🙏🏽🔥🏄🏽♂️ Yew!
When I grow up I want to be an NY Yankee shortstop and a big wave surfer.
Powerful, skillful, reliant, dangerous, and elegant.
All involved know their stuff. An orchestra of survival.
These brave souls' live music in their hearts. Only way they survive.
Big boys with balls. Doing their thing. Real men studs.
DEI can do anything like this or hold a chainsaw all day. Skwanks.
Jealousy such a lovely word. No disrespect to Mr. Billy Joel.
No whining or crying in this situation. Men are men. All best to the best.
Great White Shark breeding nearby. Left town for that week.
Nature meets men who are strong enough to meet nature. Symphonic.
Salt water not friendly. Eat the kelp. Fresh.
NASCAR and Formula1 all in one. Amazing.
Epic 🔥
Everybody there is finely tuned to minimize losses. Appears that way. Dudes of dudes in my surfing uneducated mind. Power, strength, hard work, and grace.
If I was 12 I would have Kai on the wall as a poster. But?
Grounding. Guys are amazin. Cheers.,
Water doing its thing and it has no feelings. Goes where it goes.
Kai faces danger in flip flops. Superstar.
Great whites live in the area but decided to take a vacation that week.
Beautiful cinematography!
Their fault. Badass. dudes. Nasty water.
Some real superhumans at Mavericks. Can't and won't describe my feelings. Wow and powerful. Thank you for this beautiful video.
Orchestra of competence and meritocracy.
Bad ass mofos. Are not afraid of the big green waters.
Dudes dudes, not dudes, but dudes. Figure it out dudes.
Imagine that ride, big balls surfing
Bei rut best baseball player who ever lived.
oh brother spare me the music
I'm curious to know how far off shore are they?
Luca Padua doing critical things in crucial places, very torquey, very thick, very vertical. Also: Fink is riding a skimboard.
Those mechanics of the ocean machines are the best.
Taking the good with the bad. Studs.
More balls than brains. Fantastick.
Moved left when he should have moved right.
Jesus, Water is not friendly today.
Oh. Look at this. Soy means no admittance.
Those maintain ace guys of those ocean machines are heroes. Special dudes doing special things for special surfers. A symphony of synchronicity with each other against a big ocean of nature and danger.
Thats not a wave...Thats a religion.
Hard working men. All around.
Special people doing special things.
Fun for them. What they live for.
Good to see Pete Mel out there. Hope for us older guys.
Special people doing special things. Including the producer, Tucker. Amazing and thank you.
Eat the salt. Nobody knows why.
Hold your breath. Hard work.
Well done.
Kai came from outer space. Fact.
Kai is part barracuda. But seen.
Luca Padua at 3:25!!!!!!! WTF!!!!
Nature is hard. Smell the salt.
Scary. Superstars at work.
I just busted an eye. Epic.
What a terrible wave to surf.
