Mavericks Goes Massive

The thrills and spills of an XXL day at Mavericks in December 2014.

When people think of California, they think of palm trees. They think of convertibles and Coachella and the ever-winding Pacific Coast Highway. They think of 3-foot waves and one hell of a sunset. They think of everything that Mavericks is not.
Mavs might not be cliché California, but there is no denying that it’s the king of the coast. The XXL beast showed some fang over the weekend on the first real day of the 2014-2015 big- wave season, and this video shows you everything you need to see in less time than it takes to remember what the actual capital of California is... it’s Sacramento, by the way.
