Mavericks with Jeff Clark

Having done two days at Maui's Peahi we catch a red eye to San Francisco. Then to high tail to Half Moon Bay for a pristine blue bird day with Mr Mavericks Jeff Clark. Jeff is the founding god father of this spot and looks after me on his Zodiac to get the shot. Mavericks lives up to its name & reputation in one full day of world class big wave paddle action. Enjoy

Never considered I’d see Mavericks looking crowded as pipe, but here we are.

[@dave9351]

Mr Clark, thank you for the "Front Row" adventure ! You haven't gotten near-enough props for riding Mavericks. Most folks don't understand the difference between tropical & NorCal water temps... the "wearing a wetsuit" factor ! Simply amazing; hats off to all putting this video together and sharing !

[@lorettanericcio-bohlman567]

Never gets old watching these brave souls taking off on this heartbeat of a wave

[@fboness368]

Clark is a true surfing pioneer. A living legend.

[@sea2959]

most hardcore surfer ever.....Mavs, for years, alone, with sharks, no jet skis,,,,,wtf

[@simontemplar1]

Great video. I've been surfing the SM coast for over 40 years and I have always felt Jeff deserved more recognition than he ever got. Not sure if they have made a bio about him like they have Laird, but it would make for a hella cool movie. Nobody but Jeff and the great whites will understand the feeling of being out there alone in the fog for all those years, with only old Maverick watching from the bluffs.

[@lnr12241]

Wasn't that long ago Mr. Clark was surfing that spot all by himself. Look at the can of worms he opened lol

[@Antisilent]

That was more than 30 years ago, dude.

[@lnr12241]

@@Antisilent yes I know. And like I said. Not all that long ago

[@andyetheridge]

and originally surfed the left!

[@dudeandrah]

He and 4 other surfed it, he didn't discover it or surf it alone that's all rumors that ignorant people spread. He did capitalize on the whole thing tho and lied about a bunch of stuff. My friends dad n a few friends discovered it and Jeff poached it. He's also a dick.

[@tevinchidester9681]

Hey Jeff, your invitation has not gone unnoticed. Damn. 12/28/2023 is magnificent.

Amazing! Thank you for taking us along for the ride.

[@simpson3048]

Thank you Mr Clark ! Thank you Mr Bonython ! once the fatness of the tide and the swell had a chance of showing its face , it was in that classic hour ( warming, glassy and really empty). Thank you Mr Clark.

Mesmerized Greetings from Upstate New York! Editing and production value here are top tier All thanks and praise to Planet Earth

[@user-rf7kc4ev6t]

Sad to see Mavs turn into a party wave.

[@charlesmartin1121]

So true. It now looks like a cold water version of Waimea. Where is the respect?

[@paulasurf3830]

Despite of crowded mode,this wave is NOT the type of "everybody -can-go" indeed😮

[@fergferguson7370]

Good video a little different nicely edited …and Jeff was more scared about being without power than he ever was surfing mavs.

[@davidgough3512]

no suit and looking out for his crew, but yeah lol

[@mow4doe1]

You can tell he was seriously nervous... no doubt.

[@rocknjock9300]

It’s crazy how clam it is in the harbor but when you get to the bay it’s crazy. The cold of the water & what’s underneath is as scary as how big the waves are.

[@edwardippoliti626]

Thank you Mr. Clark ,for one great adventure being out there with the Legend of Big wave Surfer's,and one the greatest surf pioneer's ,if not the best of all time ,how cool is that ! That was one the most unique looking swells i have ever seen here at Maverick's, definitely the cleanest ,and most hollow too ,thank you sir ,i hope your boat is alright !!

[@jesus3268]

Thank you for this Video Tim ! Mind blowing stuff with the true pioneer of Mavericks Jeff Clark! So many legends in the same spot!

[@stevendipalma4441]

beautiful video

[@GGGinJe]

Getting cutoff at Malibu is one thing. Getting cutoff on these waves? What a circus. Jeff Clark, the "first and only surfer at Maverick's for 15 years". Let that sink in....he is only lucky man and a true "pioneer"!

[@FrankDBoyce]

It's crazy that the last 2 weeks of swell make this session look small

[@sharonvanert]

[@rocknjock9300]

There’s too many people out there who shouldn’t be.

[@user-uh1bk1hp8g]

When Grant Bessinger asked Kelly Slater, what was the scariest place he ever served? He replied Mavericks.

[@shaneoneill2254]

Take me

[@stevenallan6515]

😎😀

[@robertlapin813]

Starting to look like Malibu with the crowd. This wave to me looks like Sewer Peak on steroids. There is the occasional First Peak looking wave with a wall on the inside. We talked about renaming Sewer Peak because the name is no longer relevant so maybe call it Mini Mavs? The problem is it would draw more crowds.

[@marjanboo4196]

but wen you look at the fin at 4.35 the fin doesnt take up all the hole theres still a long gap there thts not computer designed lol theres a hole infront of the back an front of fin gap thts not for speed lol

[@davidgough3512]

the slot is for adjustable positioning for conditions, as well as relation to different sidebites.. the foil of the fin is what is computer designed.. you are criticizing someone who solo'd the wave for 15 years, and named it after his dog, so shutup and politely bow

[@johnsonderegger8627]

When on business in the 80s and 90s I would surf Half Moon Bay and rented equipment at Maverick's surf shop. There was a picture on the counter of Jeff (Maverick) on a huge wave. The guy at the counter said it was Jeff's spot but wouldn't tell me the location. I always looked to the north at the big surf (at what I now know is Maverick's) and wanted to go there but it was a long paddle. His shop was great and they guys let me rent and return after hours. Very cool.

[@realtalk4366]

What? His shop wasn’t open in the 90’s and certainly not the 80’s. The shop didn’t open until early 2000’s if memory serves.

[@seanmurphy2302]

[@laurentpradayrol]

Nom d'un chien , ça avoine sec !

[@shaneoneill2254]

U are all missing the barrels

[@davidgough3512]

go show them how lol

[@robertlapin813]

The barrel isn't top to bottom but will treat you just as bad as Pipe or other big wave tube spot if you try to ride too high on the face and tuck under that lip. You can clearly see those that set their boards across the face literally get blown off and pitched over the falls. The wave is known for its hold downs and there are loose boulders the size of Volkswagens rolling along the bottom. If the skis don't pick you up you will play human pinball with the jagged spires and rocks on the inside with 15' high reformed shore break on occasion just to up the ante. When you're done showing them how to pull into the tube here you can move on and ride the high wall at Nazzare.

Foo did that red eye...it was not a good thing for him...

[@martinginsburg7222]

Did you run out of gas in the lineup? It's a marine preserve and no Seadoos dooing up the sea should be allowed.

[@lilhard]

Not to be rude, but i don't get surfing these type of waves where you can't perform anything or have fun, everything is stiff, tense and risky and above all its becoming so crowded and everyone is going straight ...

[@simpson3048]

everyone had a few too many holiday dinner plates , then the tide aligned and the real talent did what had to be done . Thanks Mr Clark !

[@davidgough3512]

i never went either, topped out at what i could paddle out through at City.. but no doubt it's rewarding for those few dedicated souls who are on it

[@ChickenJoe-tq6xd]

I wonder if he regrets giving up the spot, looks like a lot of clout chasers now

[@titou1again]

Great video but next time avoid techno music, please.
