looks so FUN when peter mel and twiggy do it. they look all casual and happy like how we mere mortals are surfing 3-5 malibu on a glassy spring morning. i am scared to be on the beach in half moon bay when Mavs is breaking because the ground itself shakes. these folks are a different breed.
The average level of the surfers in that lineup is pretty insane, those drops are so steep ! Beautiful edit btw, perfect balance of transitions/raw content.
That left is the next level at Mavericks. Sitting here at my desktop, some of those faces look beautifully "impossible" to make. I'd imagine either this year or next, there will be a crew surfers charging it exclusively, if they aren't already. Someone will get the most mind blowing Death or Glory spit-out onto the shoulder, and the Mavericks crew will take it further than we ever thought possible. Unreal show to watch dudes (and dudettes...). Thanks for letting us peek in from the safety of our nice comfortable couches! 😎👍🤙🏄♂️✌
At this size I think I would try it....on second thought, I'll just watch on my laptop lol and go to Oceanside tomorrow and catch it at a gnarly 3 to 5 foot.
I Had some good headphones on when I came across this video. The parts without the music is pretty incredible. The sounds coming off the water ...these are my go to videos while I’m taking a dump. Fresh water surfing
Holy lurching lurcherness that wave is CRAZY! Would have loved to see someone trying to really backdoor that left, but I understand how hard that would be-and heavy... amazing stuff there gentlemen. Very nice work. Aloha from Hawaii. By the way, I was at Waimea Bay yesterday (not surfing), and I think this was heavier...!
I have been reading and watching videos since the 90's about mavericks , I would never surf there its just way out of my league and co.fort zone but love watching it , but this video may have been the best I have ever seen , not the biggest or gnarliest waves I've seen there but it looked like the guys and maybe girls were having a great time out there , not so packed as it looked in the early 90's just super fun , I wish I had the skill to ride it , but at 53 it ain't happening 😀
This was a perfect sized swell and conditions to really give those lefts a go. Any bigger and those wide swinger wash throughs make it too sketchy to sit inside waiting for them. Stoked to see these guys charging it and props to the crazy guy shooting water shots....the edit was sick too.
From 1973 until 1982 I lived in Santa Cruz California. I didn't surf but I knew a lot of surfers + I'd manage a restaurant bar near the boardwalk called positively Front Street. if you live in Santa Cruz that long you know lots of surfers + positively Front Street was close to Lighthouse Point and Steamer Lane. back then I remember hearing talk of Mavericks as an insanely dangerous place nobody surfed. and as I learned many years later almost nobody did. It was evidently two guys that would go out and they are lucky to be alive because back in those days the break wasn't full a rescue boats and waverunners come to the rescue when you got pounded. Even with modern rescue it's insanely dangerous. The wave kicks up because the reef is shallow and people have died with their surfboards jammed between cracks in the reef and they couldn't free themselves in time or got knocked unconscious.
It's such a weird wave, it's literally just a peak with a takeoff in deep water then peiters out, but then oddly the first wave that Peter Meil got was a long rideable wall all the way to the rocks..?
at least an authentic video whithout any silly music which shows us the terrific noise and awesome ocean's atmosphere ...so small men in front of the nature.! thanks a lot and luck to the braves
I want to see footage from today dudes. It looked epppiicccc!!! I swear a huge like 10 wave set just kept rolling through bombs as soon as I looked at the cam this morning!! 🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙👍👍
This might be a dumb question... but is this the same swell that was ripping up The north shore a few days ago? Some of the nicest angels I’ve seen of Mavs. Quality work bro. 👌🏼
Great video! Although I admit I get a little apprehensive when their path takes them in front of the Land Of The Lost Bolders, and I just hope nobody falls. These guys have Brass Balls!
@@lorettanericcio-bohlman567 Yup! Didn’t mean to miss anyone. Especially when I watched that Gal kill Nazarre! Don’t recall her name, but she spoke French very well, which I do not understand unfortunately! Yeah, she was awesome! Definitely a member of the club!
It is crumbling instead of barreling at this wave height...The pocket is on the slope just ahead of the wash...You can’t make the barrel on the left because the wave energy ejects you too far ahead to make the turn...Some epic wipeouts getting crushed...
Ahhhh amazing waves I always watch amazed riding the heavy waves with heavy music like Delta Parole or with relaxing music videos in background. If crazy like then always heavy tho
This is really great but at 9:35 it looks like that guy was being turned into a pretzel. I hope he survived. I have never surfed on a surfboard but I did do some body surfing many years ago visiting friends in Miami Beach but those waves were much smaller of course but I did have lots of fun and sometimes I did get sucked under for a few seconds when I miscalculated my timing. I will never forget hearing the energy or roar of the ocean when I first got to the beach.
At 2:09 a surfer takes the left... does he need to worry about being in the wrong spot for the next wave? How does he get back out to the line up? Asking for a friend....
its the 6 dec. and theres santa anas in so cal valleys with snow on the peaks all the way down St. Martin baja and no rain on the plains or coast just weird, maverick well .... massive
Riding and being pulled into Huge Waves is Not That Difficult at All,The struggle comes into Play Trying to do " All That " with 20 lbs Worth of "Balls"
Next time you do some of these videos in slow motion have some shots showing whoever surfing the waves in reverse while slow motion. Not only would it look neat I think I could learn something from it and maybe improve on my technique of couch surfing.
Never. First off they don’t even have the right length for those type of waves bro. Short boards are for short waves. Not big boy material. Seriously do you see anyone surfing Josh with the board that’s any any shorter than 7’0 Nope Death wish. And next to impossible to catch the wave.
@@robertmirabilio5356 i think youre right, way too gnarly for shortboards too much water moving, but people can still ride massive pipe on short boards and paddle into bombs ivan florance was on a 6'2" at pipe invitational

I am not a surfer, but this is some of the most beautiful photograhy of the sport and the incredible beautiful ocean and the barrels I've seen.
THANK YOU FOR INCLUDING RAW FOOTAGE!!!!!! No stupid epic or punk music just the majestic sound of the ocean
I mean there was music but yeah i agree haha
The footage of real time without the music is mystical - l love hearing the crash of the waves and the poetry of the surfers slicing through...
You are right. It is much better without the music.
I luvah dah crash
20 years from now Peter Mel will still be surfing Mavericks, with his grandkids. Legend.
Yep, he's still crushing it!
Shout out to Grant W

That wave is big, fast, and savage.
Respect to anyone who tackles it on days like this.
.I really could use that cash
I've been stuck since I can't work or walk far
The average level of the surfers in that lineup is pretty insane, those drops are so steep !
Beautiful edit btw, perfect balance of transitions/raw content.
Its just so amazing! Real.men ride big waves! Woot Woot! Wow! Best video coverage ever! Thank you and God bless these men!
Thank you 🙏🏽
3:16 That drop... Love this perspective from the left

this is how surfing videos should be - no boring slow motion and hearing the sound of the waves makes all the difference.

I thought the same thing until I paddled out at Torrey Pines today when it’s 10 feet
@@lewiscase4685 always wanted to try to surf there but I’ve heard it kinda just close outs. How was it?
@@xylophonenthusiast965 this morning it was literally amazing
Bucc does.
@@lewiscase4685 cool cool maybe I’ll go check that out then thanks for the info🤙
So killer seeing our friends living their dreams and sometimes nightmares. Keep rocking!
I couldn't tell you the first thing about how to surf but I enjoy watching it. Great footage!
Wouawww !!! Quelles énormes vagues ??? Vraiment des athlètes ces gens- là !!! I like it +++++...! Thank you so much for this video ! 😯😎👍
What started out as a foggy day turned out to be gorgeous.
I Had some good headphones on when I came across this video. The parts without the music is pretty incredible. The sounds coming off the water ...these are my go to videos while I’m taking a dump. Fresh water surfing
Great work! Love the fact that you kept the sound of the surf in and used he musi tastefully. 👍👍👍

Looks fun! Respect. Be prepared and safe guys.
Awesome, thx! In big surf, surface perspective photography is where it's at.
That’s some extraordinary surf & edit ! Congrats it’s brilliant
Thank you 🙏🏽
When Peter Mel surfs Mavericks like your average point break...
Beautiful work both by the surfers and "Powerlines". I grew up surfing HMB and nearby spots. I love the conditions when it gets like that!
My jaw is stuck to the floor... Just beautiful!
This was a perfect sized swell and conditions to really give those lefts a go. Any bigger and those wide swinger wash throughs make it too sketchy to sit inside waiting for them. Stoked to see these guys charging it and props to the crazy guy shooting water shots....the edit was sick too.
Unbelievably beautiful wave. And terrifying too.
I'm so hooked on Mavericks now. Peter Mel is one of my fav surfers. Great footage as usual 😎👍

Yeah, I've never seen a wave ridden down to those rocks, pretty cool!
I feel like on certain swells with the right angle and period, the wave peels a little more
it was because it was high tide and the swell was still filling in
This was the first time I ever surfed Mavericks, I’m so happy it got documented in this way to show its true raw power🎯
Fantastic cinematography!!
Extremely well done video guys!!
Best Powerlines edit ever? Clean composition all round, so beautiful.
Sick footage love hearing the sounds of the waves nice balance of that and music well done. And who is nut in water shooting props! 🤙🏾🤙🏾🤙🏾

LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE!!!
I love the mavericks. Everybody should experience it once in there life. The power of the surf itself sound wise worth it alone.
Man that’s a beautiful thing to behold
Loved that edit! So much good surfing out there today
Thanks brilliant , loved it, keep up the good work 👍
Powerlines rules!!!
Just beautiful and the skills to do this , amazing.
Making that hollow left at Mavericks on a big swell continues to be one of the few un-tapped treasures in surfing today.
Best channel on the youchoobs. psyched to see everything from yesterday
Felt like you were there. Great water shots.
They ride it so relaxed and casual....mind-blowing talent🤘👊
Relaxed and Casual isn't what I see. there's a freight train right behind them and they know it.
wave at 3:17 Hunter Murison. So fucking good surviving the drop with an A bomb going off behind him. Unreal.
The sound of ocean waves.........is music
Love the 60p footage so much, especially for Surfing its looks so much better
That was beautiful.......thanx.
This might be a dumb question... but is this the same swell that was ripping up The north shore a few days ago?
Some of the nicest angels I’ve seen of Mavs. Quality work bro. 👌🏼
yew
Yes. If you look at a map you can see north west swells come down from alaska and hit hawaii and then the west coast
What a unique vantage point!!! Love it!!
beautiful colors this day
7,40 to 8mn there is nothing more beautiful
Yeah, Luca! Good work, Powerlines!!!
⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️💥💥💥💥💥
Pretty juicy waves.
Great video! Although I admit I get a little apprehensive when their path takes them in front of the Land Of The Lost Bolders, and I just hope nobody falls. These guys have Brass Balls!
And some have iron ovaries

Those are some 1970s opening credit Hawaii 5-0 waves. Power and beauty.
I thought the music section suited the elegant majesty of the waves. Nice one!

I think Peter Mel and Flea are the original members of Mavericks, but his son grew up to join Mavericks. I also have to realize that I am old
Мне нравится этот спорт захватфватыывает молодцы удачи вам
Спасибо 🙏
I saw 40ft today at Mavs , Tues Dec 8.....missed it damn...20ft + in pTown .
great edit!
Thanks boys this awesome! 👏 🙌
At 2:09 a surfer takes the left... does he need to worry about being in the wrong spot for the next wave?
How does he get back out to the line up?
Asking for a friend....
the wave doesn't break to the left that far, he'll still be able to get back out with relative ease
Everyone going at it 🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌
Loving these.....
its the 6 dec. and theres santa anas in so cal valleys with snow on the peaks all the way down St. Martin baja and no rain on the plains or coast just weird, maverick well .... massive
Peter Mel is the coolest person to ever stand on a surfboard.
Quality! Thank you.
Nice ! Anyone know who's music was in the video (the new age stuff)

You can see them in both shots and thank you both, your welcome
Awesome !!! I wish one day I can Film you guys from my drone. but I am 7 hours away and need to plan in advance.
Are those seals swimming through the waves around 830-9 minute mark?
Nice video and great legend 🏄♂️
May God bless you all🙏🏼🙏🏼

Wow!!! Intense!!!

Damn that looks cold AF
It is
WHy are so many guys wearing red? Is it about visibility, or is that just a certain make of vest?
Damn that old dude is cool af!
It seems big surf is going off all around the Northern Hemisphere at the same time. Whats up with that?
@Sebastian Fowler shoot really? I was gonna try to watch them tomorrow since I'm finally off work. Wish I could join xD
Some legendary rides may be in some surfers immediate future.
Its winter in the northern hemisphere. Winter = swell
@@shano1587 Yeah I know that--but usually there is a gap between Hawaii turning on and California.
On the good note it seemed like a dribble to fade after breaking that way if someone wiped out it was a shorter struggle
Nice footage 👏👌 Anyone knows whos's the guy with the yellow waterhousing shooting in the water? He must have some sick shots too 🤙
interesting but no bigger than a big day at Waimea? or Sunset?
No one's going to mention 1:34? Wallpaper stuff.
