MONSTER WAVE AT MAVERICKS: LUCA PADUA - Mavericks Awards

The biggest Mavericks swell in years hit Half Moon Bay today, with local stand-out Luca Padua up for the challenge alongside his tow surfing partner, Alo Slebir. Watch one of the best waves of the historic day. Filmed by drone pilot Daniel Gorostieta. The Mavericks Awards is a digital video performance contest in which big wave surfers and videographers submit their best surf content from Mavericks from the entire winter season. Founded by Jeff Clark and Chris Cuvelier, our mission is to celebrate Mavericks and the brave men and women that surf it. Our values of respect, inclusion, equality, safety and environmental stewardship guide all our decisions and how we operate the Mavericks Awards.
