Mavericks: The Experience

Here is the full version of my experience at the 2009/10 Mavericks Big Wave Surf Competition in Half Moon Bay, CA in February 2010.
Produced by Tyler @ http://www.allexits.net
Music by Casewag @ http://www.casewag.com
A portion of this has been shown on NBC Nightly News with Brian Williams and will be airing on the Travel Channel and MSNBC.
I re-uploaded this due to YouTube allowing up to 15 minute long videos, so now it's not split in half.

This is some funny shit I know people got hurt but shit they were told like a billion times to get out of there it was dangerous. But to all the brain trust members who were standing out on the jetty its a miracle you didnt get washed out to the sharks.

stupid fucking idiots all of them, just a bunch of fucking tourists who don't respect the power of the ocean.

[kambelzful]

My favorite part is the dog at 2:14, that looks like it really doesn't want to be there.

[STiNGFiST77]

[riotofdablood]

This is amazing footage, Tyler! An ex boyfriend and I used to fly his vintage planes out of HMB airport, and sometimes take walks to Princeton. Never thought of going to one of these events. I remember a world famous surfer, Mark Foo, tragically died at one of these earlier competitions over 15 years ago. Who'd thought near by native hometown, The City, that there would be a surfing culture. Seemed Southern Ca. dominates that.

they were cautioning people about the cliff......but not so much the tidal waves.....smart. haha
