One of the most famous waves on the planet
Mavericks is that rarest of things: not just a perfect wave and not just a giant wave but a perfect, giant wave.
The peak lies a little less than a half-mile off of Pillar Point and is marked by a clump of Stonehenge-like boulders lining the inside.
Massive swells looming out of the deep approach a shelf – made up of black, ungodly reef and boulders 20-feet beneath the surface – at breakneck speeds.
From there, Maverick’s becomes a 20-foot version of Stockton Avenue: a perfect, jacking AAA-frame breaking both ways, the right going long and the left a short-lived explosion of hell and spitfire.
