MAVERICKS JANUARY 18, 2021 [POWERLINES]

The swell that went off in Hawaii reached Mavericks for a challenging session on January 18, 2021 ⚡️
Music created by @freehombre1 , aka Steve Freeman, using one of the sounds of the buoy from the day 💯

[@iraomar1]

Since seeing Mavericks for the first time in 94, I can’t remember a winter like this. So consistent and big and favorable. Insanity. Glad for all of the water patrol and communication. Thanks Powerlines!

[@songswithcam669]

As soon as i heard the bells i thought “It would be sick if they made a beat out of tha... oh siiick!”

[@df238]

That was a gnarly shot showing how quickly the guys get pulled into the rocks, seriously not a minute to spare and thank God for the safety crew.

[@graememac376]

That was so sick. Two angles and hearing the safety crew at work. Epic

[@wrybread]

Making a beat with the bell buoy is genius! I always wanted to do that. I swear a buoy near me used to play Coltrane's A Love Supreme until they swapped it out. Unbelievably amazing footage.

[@PowerlinesProductions]

Thank you. Sent that to Freehombre from the channel and asked what can you do with this. He's a genius

[@mkavigil]

Can you guys send me those buoy bells? My band out of San Francisco is bombing with creativity! Thanks, I’ll send you some music back...peace and love! #eddiewent

The beats with the buoy bell gave me goosebumps....so perfect for this vid. Soooooo much respect for all who have the sack to drop in out there👊🤘

[@trangoadvisory]

The shots looking at the shoreline are so intimidating. The best I've done is stood on the shoreline and watched. I consider myself to be a decent surfer but no way am I paddling out there. The support teams are amazing. Mad respect to everybody in the water, especially this winter.

The narrative after the wipe outs are really good. Giant wave videos have to do more of these.

[@oneandonlyjaybee]

Definitely. I get really frustrated with surf vids that a) don't show the paddle in and b) immediately cut when the wipe out happens

[@denierbud]

Best most creative music intro I've ever seen in a surf video. And fun commentary and great footage. Thanks!

[@shardninja]

MOAR! I NEED MOAR!! Thank you Powerlines. You keep us landlubbers sea sick.

[@geraldfordman7474]

I love the SPOOKY GREEN MONSTER. Peter Mel really knows that wave like nobody's business.

[@itcantbetruebutis7778]

Goodness gracious... a connection made back to the past, heard as a child from parents or grandparents... the waves here are something special. They are huge and the water is always cold, and the ocean throws its focused energy into spots along coasts all over the world. Some places just continually crank out some serious winter swell, and this Is one of those spots that has all the elements, too make it top 5 in the 🌎.

[@elishanilsen]

exceptional love the raw footage and commentary. mavericks one of the greatest

[@GolfHappens]

Matt Lopez fall near the end...Heavy!! He’s a beast!

Ferocious seas! It's like angry soup at times. The speed of it all takes your breath away. Thanks SO MUCH for the great footage!

[@mountainlife1200]

Huge respect to the riders. Big waves and great safety crew make for an awesome video.

That was nuts! Props to everyone that has any part to do with big wave surfing

[@randalltaylor586]

great work....Jason s with a nice wave!

[@Fuzcapp]

The less edited footage gives a real sense of how dangerous this break is. And the coordination needed just to keep riders safe. Good job.

[@shardninja]

These boys takin the point are legend.

[@Daysdontexist]

Riding with nature's powerful forces is something to be reckoned with, and truly deserving of a global Olympic sport, I imagine some multi sport guy (skateboard,surfer) ie. has a nice day surfing then jumps on a skateboard rolls over with a false sense of motion to the opstacle then grinds his chins away xD

[@Main.Account]

Awesome. Getting better every session.

That swell on the 10th (Pete Mel barrel) must have been all time because this is damn big but actually looks small in comparison to that swell.

Great commentary. Great job keeping people safe. Hope that dude on the last wipeouts doing alright.. And I thought my Wipeouts on 6 foot waves sucked.. Damm bro

[@mkavigil]

Love this stuff guys! I’ve been winding down my days in the music studio here in Burlingame enjoying these video’s. Digging the “Channel Beat” by Steve Freeman.

[@mkavigil]

Hey gang, thanks for another epic video. I love the music including the buoy bells!

[@edmccaffrey1]

anybody watching thinking about paddling out in these conditions for a "solo sesh"? No takers, nobody? Now grasp this tough guy, Jeff Clarke surfed out there solo, for 10 years! Thats right, paddled out, and surfed alone for 10 years! #madrespect JC!

[@Bob_Sage]

There were some solo takers later that evening.

[@edmccaffrey1]

@@Bob_Sage Thanks for letting me know that @Bob Sage. However if there was more than 1, its truly not a solo sesh, and I am referring to Jeff Clarke going solo, alone for 10 years! No inflatable vest, no jet skiis, no spotter on the clifs, Nothing!

[@downpatmusic]

Love the music and use of the buoy bell. Nice job on that and oh yea nice surfing. My great teacher used to say surfers were very smart and knew how to live in the moment, yea he was right!

[@peegeebeedee7563]

2:11 I Like This Commentator. I've Heard Him On Other Mavericks' Videos Unaffiliated With Powerlines And He Seems To Both Commentate And Help The Lifeguards Locate Fallen Surfers (He Speaks Both To The Camera And Walkie Talkie When Doing This). He Seems Very Affable And Light-Hearted.

[@djflarethecreator9261]

El Granada in the house! Princeton Ave in the house! Mavericks and Pillar Point is my backyard for real. I look out my bedroom window and their is the Bay! My man Jeff Clark found this place "Mavericks paddleboards" in The House! These huge waves break way out their like a quarter mile or more. Man locals will paddle all the way out there through all the mush just to rides these huge walls of really cold water. This place is insane! Do not try to rides these waves if you are not totally 100% ready to ride the waves of a lifetime! for real yo!

[@IAMREIKI]

Here at the Space Coast fl I had 9 to 13 ft clean suf at Playalinda last Yr Jan . We rarely get big bombing surf . I made it out easy 14 sec and caught a few nice ones . Then I was late and cart wheeled down the face getting pounded . It felt Mortal that day . I came up got back out and laughed knowing the rest of my surf would be easy after swimming through a few . Its a neat feeling knowing You could Die today if You Give Up .

[@benweaver7425]

When is the edit for the mega swell?

[@PowerlinesProductions]

Mega Industries kinda edit on that one. Will take more time to treat it correctly.

[@arrowdog8852]

This was the same day 12-year-old Arunay Pruthi was swept away by a rogue wave and out to sea at Cowell Ranch State Beach in Half Moon Bay. The CG suspended S&R ops, but the family is still searching for his body.

[@jmoney4647]

Respect.

[@mitseraffej5812]

7:20 Towing his board by the leash reminds me of the time I was plucked out of the water by a police helicopter. The helicopter lowered a net down that I climbed into and all the way back to the beach my board was dangling below spinning like a mad thing in the rotor wash.

[@MachineHeadDissent]

🤙😎🤘

[@charlesmartin1121]

Can somebody tell me why you rarely if ever see any bodyboarders out there? Can they just not move fast enough to catch the waves? Maybe the surfers object to their presence.

[@sammoreton333]

Riding massive waves on bodyboard is super hard. Google bodyboarding at Jaws and you will see that the rides are never that good.

[@charlesmartin1121]

@@sammoreton333 I kind of suspected as much. Thank you.

[@jahkgdm]

The left is well suited for them. Just a matter of time.

[@charlesmartin1121]

@@jahkgdm Why is the left better suited? Does it stall longer over the shelf in comparison to the right? Offering a little more time to catch the wave.

[@34thncrenshaw]

not even clove to over yet either

[@jahkgdm]

Just more coverage than ever.

[@MalcolmBlakeSeeAndHear]

Please don't attack me for asking but I've often wandered if mavs is makeable on a bodyboard? It's almost impossible to find footage of my fellow boogsliders on it. Is that because it's simply not possible to get the speed to make the section, and it's basically froggy suicide or does the local vibe come into play too? (by the way I am busy learning to surf because I want to ride big waves one day and the bodyboard is not suited to many big waves spots)

[@ericnelson5825]

It's Complicated. There have been several Bodyboarders to have gotten a wave at Mavericks. One was a guy from New Jersey the other a Local Grrl. I think Judith Sheridan Body surfing was the Only person to (sucessfully ride?) Mavericks and I think in the Best of circumstances she barely pulled it off. Mavericks has a Lot of water moving and to get momentum on a wave/swell moving at 25+knots AND then to Tower at 20+ is a Challenge in itself to Drop In... Good Luck! (Just Sayin')

[@ericnelson5825]

Study, study, study... Really Watch the Wave and Currents.

[@MalcolmBlakeSeeAndHear]

​@@ericnelson5825 Thanks for the intel and histroy brother! Appreciate it. Yeah, the odds are not in favour of boogy success on those giant lumps for sure hahaha. I will stick to the long term goal of surfing it someday.
