i'll call it how it is. a load of self indulgent ****e. most of it's either out of focus, way too far out or filler material (a van plashing a puddle!). in their defence i believe cameras that were meant to get out didn't make it due to problems launching boats in the conditions. i thought this would be the high quality in proper position footage i thought would surface but there mustn't be any. a real wasted opportunity.

Didn't get a chance to watch this yet but footage might be a bit better than what has been released so far:

watched chasing mavericks tonight
based on a true story of a young boy becoming a man as he prepares to surf mavericks.

surf scenes are mostly good, some continuity stuff that is hard to get away from, but some lovely aerial sequences at some smaller breaks than mavericks itself. think it's a cameo of the guy who pioneered the wave?

some of the big wave footage is impressive and the wipe outs look like they really took them on the head for the cameras.

lot's of "be the wave" type of stuff but it works ok if being a bit cheesy.

i won't give too much away but some touching moments in this.

def worth a watch

Agreed,

Watched "Chasing Mavericks" last week as well and thought it was a good show. For a Hollywood take on surfing it has to be up there as one of the best, thankfully the cringe factor was kept to a minimum.

Myself and some mates spent some time in Santa Cruz the summer of '95, the season after the winter glorified in the movie, so it was a nice trip down memory lane Now I feel old though so need to go and surf....

Looking forward to watching it, shame it didnt seem to get a proper cinema run here.

Jesus lads 6 pages and no sign of Endless Summer or did I miss it? Classic. watch it before anything else.

some great sligo and donegal in there. is that mostly the peak in the first part? it's absolutely firing!!!

I think Chasing Mavericks is probably one of the better Hollywood surf films - does get a little cheesy at times.
They were often shooting the film while I was in the lineup, pretty surreal having a hollywood crew hanging around.
I often see Frosty Henson (as played by Gerard) in the lineup out here.

Not a film - but I found some time & made a short video of Santa Cruz & Mavz surf this winter: http://vimeo.com/59090010

That Aileens clip makes me want to move home.

@promethius, that's not The Peak

cheers buddy, must be an off the beaten track one so i won't ask :-)

Some very nice footage there, fair play. Good choice of music too! Would love to see a wave like that up close someday but unlikely to ever have a go at catching one at this stage


Here's one I just saw on facebook: http://vimeo.com/61260054#

Nice to see an irish vid that's not clare or donegal for a change
