SYNOPSIS/PLOT

The inspirational true story of real life surfing phenom Jay Moriarty. When 15 year old Jay discovers that the mythic Mavericks surf break, one of the biggest waves on Earth, is not only real, but exists just miles from his Santa Cruz home, he enlists the help of local legend Frosty Hesson to train him to survive it. As Jay and Frosty embark on their quest to accomplish the impossible, they form a unique friendship that transforms both their lives, and their quest to tame Mavericks becomes about far more than surfing.

PRO REVIEWS

----------------------------------------
"The surfers and the surfing, along with the natural beauty of the California coastline, help balance the movie's weak areas, including its lamentably one-dimensional protagonist" (Manohla Dargis: The New York Times)

----------------------------------------
"'Chasing Mavericks' is made with more care and intelligence than many another film starting with its template might have been (...) Rating: *** (out of four)" (Roger Ebert: Chicago Sun-Times)

----------------------------------------
"The outstanding big-wave footage proves more credible than the overfamiliar dramatics in Chasing Mavericks" (Justin Chang: Variety)
