CHASING MAVERICKS

THIS IS A 2012 FILM, BUT WE THOUGHT WE SHOULD SHARE IT WITH YOU IF YOU MISSED IT LAST YEAR.

CHASING MAVERICKS is the inspirational true story of real-life surfing phenom Jay Moriarty (played by newcomer Jonny Weston). 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 (Gerard Butler) to train him to survive it.
