Mavericks. Cold water, monster waves, and a history as wild as the surf itself. In this episode, we head to Half Moon Bay, California, to talk about one of the world’s most infamous big wave breaks—from its discovery by Jeff Clark, who surfed it solo for 15 years, to that time I (awkwardly) reminded Gerard Butler he almost died there. We unpack the legends, the wave mechanics, the cinematic flops (Chasing Mavericks, I’m looking at you), and the near-mythical 108-foot ride of Alessandro "Alo" Slebir. Mavericks is cold, dangerous, and undeniably iconic—and somehow, still not the wave every surfer dreams of. Until now.
