Always sucks on a big, hairy day when you paddle furiously for a first set wave, miss it, then immediately hear "WhhhoohooOOOOOO!!!" from the guys on the outside. You know the odds are you're gonna get cleaned.
this place heaves for like 8 seconds, and that's it, then it turns into a big mush bugger. it takes a BIG swell for it to hold up and break longer...this place is nothing compared to JAWS or shipsterns, imho
@socksworn Anyone who worries about warm water, weather, and scenery when it comes to big wave surfing isn't much of a big wave surfer. Waimea is beautiful. I've been there and I agree. But Mavs, Todos, Cortes, Jaws, et al make up in size and heaviness what they lack in photogeneity. Ultimately, big wave surfing is about big waves. F**k the other crap.
@socksworn Can't really argue with that! Hawaii is basically the Garden of Eden when it comes to surfing. Can't imagine how amazing it was in the 60s and 70s before it got crazy crowded.
this reminds me of when i went surfing in florida it was my first time ever im only 12 the wave was atleast 5 feet over my head i got hit by it my board smacked me right in the face i went under the water
there is no way mavericks resembles anything like Florida. That wave was at least 25 feet and this spot holds 40+ easy. Plus the water is about 48-50 degrees which is about 40 degrees colder than Florida. Not to mention the massive great whites lurking in the depths
@510kidscry Florida got down to 46 last winter and 48 this winter... just saying. And we get a few great whites... im not defending the person you were talking too cause if they said this is florida theyre wayyyyy off, florida can only hold 12-14 in the VERY VERY few good spots

This is where my daughter learned to surf when she was in high school. We lived in Moss Beach and she went to Half Moon Bay high.

yee! i agree, but hawaii is the best ahahaa
like almost every single big wave surfer said the heaviest break they surfed was peahi on maui, and a few also said waimea
i cant really judge 2 much cuz i cant handle big wave surfing..not trained to do it...and not crazy enough for it lol
one thing i gotta say though is i got respect for big wave riders past, present, and future
