Related Programs Short Form Video: This is big wave surfing at its most thrilling! Maverick’s, California is one of the most intimidating and treacherous surf spots in the world. This riveting film centers around Jeff Clarke, who in 1991 began a lonely crusade to conquer Maverick’s waves—which most felt were impossible to ride. Filmmaker Lili Schad went to great extremes to document the story of Jeff Clarke and others who courageously braved this ultimate test of a surfer's ability. Surfers anticipate Maverick’s waves not only because they are the biggest, but because the swells here are different—shaped by the unusual sea bottom, which rises from a depth of more than 100 feet to only a few feet. MAVERICK'S is a program of man against nature that will fascinate surfers and non-surfers alike.
