Mavericks January 2 , 2021 Afternoon

The Rain and fog cleared for an afternoon session at Mavericks January 2, 2021

[@owenmurray830]

Kai and Chumbo are surfing XL waves on a whole new level! 2:20 chop hop back 3 to chop hop front 3 on a 25 footer like its nothing!

[@factsmatter2819]

Thank you! I have NEVER seen footage quite like this! I am new to the sport, window shopping right now if the truth were to be told. It felt like I was there. The waves were so, so huge! You guys are so brave and skilled - holy smokes! I am so, so inspired by your idea of how to have fun, your amazing skill, and heart-pounding courage. Thank you, again!

[@bardoface]

The evolution of big wave surfing right here.

[@mstocknoff]

Truly appreciate what you guys do to get the footage on the web for everyone to see . I had the opportunity to shoot Mavericks from the cliff during the late 90's for the Men Who Ride Mountains contest . It's an amazing experience and HUGE props to these guys out there in the frigid ,shark infested waters . Recognition as well to the people behind the scenes that make sure all these surfers stay alive , safe and make it back out for their next session .

[@sandyordille6132]

Kai Lenny popping a 360 on giant Mavericks face! Who knew surfing would reach this level? Incredible footage and bravery from surfers and rescue crews. Live long and prosper- nothing but respect for you.

[@Craigstaaygear]

well said

Needed this footy, cooped up in the house broken hand, fucked shoulder, powerlines always got the boys!

Definitely you can see a snowboarding influence finally coming into tow in surfing

[@nathelm]

Not too long ago you would see surfers going down the face of the wave holding on for dear life but the youngsters are now carving up these giant waves. Amazing.

[@hukedonfonix1671]

Back then no Co2 vests to deploy no jetski rescue

[@bonsummers2657]

Thanks to tow-in

[@hukedonfonix1671]

100% agreed, that's why back then they were holding on for their lives, the technology wasn't there yet, everytime you were washed over the falls and the next set came rolling in might be your last, I am in no way condemning new safety measures, only stating that back in the late 80s early 90s each wave was a potential death sentence and these dudes paddled in and paddled or swam to safety, without these new safety measures Teahupo, shipsterns bluff and several other epic breaks would be next to unthinkable, even though some like laird Hamilton will surf vestless life is hanging in the balance waiting on the ski, nothing but respect for the people who ride these marvels go down and live to tell about it, all thanks to technology further making it possible and I look forward to the next videography of these rides and the surfer who claims it not film of the wave that claimed the surfer

[@blazed1945]

Yeah thanks to tow in and straps you could do 540s in the right situations

[@elissitdesign]

Can’t tell if this requires brass balls or rare earth metals. In friggin real!

[@factsmatter2819]

Cheeky. Well done.

[@anonimo0197]

Lucas Chumbo ((((( Brazil )))))) Parabéns por mais este dia em sua Vida Chumbo !!!

[@PhantomFPV]

WOOOOO! Best Mavericks clip I've seen in years! Love the smaller board and trick action...hellz yeah boys!!!

[@michaelryder9885]

Kai Lenny is just going next level out there. Incredible to watch.

[@tomasribeiro2298]

And chumbo. Specially on the backhand

[@qualudia1]

Great shots but if possible use a gimbal to smooth out your water shots. Eliminate the bouncy jerkiness.

[@intelligenceinathought2461]

When Kai and Lucas show up, you know they mean business!

[@brozors]

I live pretty close to Half Moon Bay and I have no idea how these guys do it. It's unbelievably cold out there.

[@sugewhitejacoby8654]

Love it, they're talking about his brand new broken board and getting beaten by a 40 wave as if they were talking about a wipeout in Waikikis slow rollers! I'm sorry but Im pretty sure I'm talking about changing my shorts in the co.bat zone!🏄🏼‍♂️🤙

[@fiddlestickzmuzik]

3:50 there's a couple of guys that just wore that wall of whitewater right on the head..damn

[@bastardo1418]

What a powerful video... think I realized around the 4:45 ish that my hands were clammy asf ..... Very very impressive

[@jonswenson]

3:45 holy shiot. Given that wall of whitewater, how big do you think that wave was?

[@younggot6478]

~30

[@oneandonlyjaybee]

4 foot Hawaiin

[@Aromatic-ring]

@@oneandonlyjaybee More like 15 foot Hawaiian

[@godisbollocks]

4:36 How long til we see people towing in from super deep and backdooring slabs like this? I'm kinda surprised it isn't happening already.

[@Septurez]

bodyboards been doing that in oz

[@tomdrossi]

they did it in the 90s

[@godisbollocks]

@@tomdrossi At Mavericks?

[@colemcleod941]

Kai doesn't surf so much as he slalom water skiis

[@laureenshipley7931]

Woohoo! That was my birthday! Mahalo you guys 🤙🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼 Can’t surf anymore due to partial paralysis from an injury.... Though just overhead was my limit ...hahahahaha..... love seeing you guys rip it up 🌊🌊🌊🌊

[@FreeRydz]

⚡️⚡️⚡️

[@barrywood7452]

Thanks again Powerlines!😎

[@static-remission27]

An elephantine immense mammoth with monstrous monumental enormous humongous colossal towering mountainous force. Super-duper titanic whopping liquid metal. Fuk Skool the ancient alchemists believed that water is actually liquid metal. Again, Fuk Skool

[@scotthodges6286]

Love it Thanks for sharing

[@LWRoad]

Chumbo is next level, I thought his positioning on the left last winter was mindblowing and now this?!!!!

[@lorettanericcio-bohlman567]

Such a gift to see this on a daily basis live and then to see your footage. Well done

[@JaWznickc04]

Something about Mavericks looks so scary. Jaws has similar sized waves but idk why Maverick waves always have such an eery feel

[@wulftowing2259]

crazy how dudes r just fading into the bowl like that! ❄️ 🌊

[@messono]

Love it!

[@mikehumphreys239storms2]

I could watch this all fkn day

[@michaelmcconnell7302]

as a viewer it doesn't get any better than these gray heavy skies at mavs. great to see Kyle thiermann out there. thanks again gentlemen ❤

[@eventtrading]

Magnifique. Stunning everything. That's a heavy break.

[@stevekake3359]

In 1968 a friend took me to this place and asked if I thought it was ridable. I said no.

[@marieljoed]

Looks like you guys have a great time out there! You guys definetly live for it, seeing you are are out there in January in 50 degree water

[@billiam8270]

Thank you for posting. I learned to surf in Santa Cruz in 1970 but quit for other sports just when the boards got small. Such a great sport and so good for the soul. Keep it up bro's.

[@kellymahoney3847]

Really like the paddle ins

[@GeorgeCrumpler]

Nice music...The tow in guys are pushing it to the next level but carving it in a traditional surfing style, hard bottom turn up into carving on the face, that one backside made an insane turn off the lip, that was beautiful...watched a 2nd time...Chumbo...that was fucking insane...last 4 min. was awesome to me, nice work.

[@blahblahoink]

Why aren't they wearing masks!?$£@@%@!!

[@justinbreedlove8835]

Crazy how different it looks from the different angles

[@RobinLynnGriffith]

Oh my gosh I am in such awe at the magic and the power in the relationship between man and Giant water.

[@Wess-S]

Every year these guys get better and better. Like they aaaaallllmooosssttt make big wave surfing "normal"

[@jdbuentello]

Love the footage!!!

[@MRMIKE276]

Pause it at 3:51. Look at that fucking monster.

[@lbco5229]

Thanks for filming and posting this. Much appreciated!

[@mitseraffej5812]

Not too long ago survival was the goal, now they do 360 airs.

[@authenticdreamerz39]

They got different boards now that hook on to there feet that’s ehy

[@godisbollocks]

1:49 That snap made Tom Carroll's famous snap at Pipeline in the '80s look like nothing.

[@MrIsomer]

Not quite grasshopper. You needed to have been there...

[@michaelmcconnell7302]

@@MrIsomer were you at both, sir? that's incredible!

[@markwathen7600]

Awesome Mavericks !!! Epic ❤️

[@paulcoffey359]

I remember watching the video of Mark Foo's last wave in the mid 1990's. That footage probably took about a year to get to southern Australia. It's truly amazing to sit in the same place today and watch people riding that beautiful wave, just a day or so ago.

[@paulcoffey359]

Great to see that not everyone's towing in these days.

[@vznquest]

kai lenny is on another level. that backside hook by chumbo was next level.

[@unita39hse]

Superb footage Thank You

[@brett4409]

West coast has been pumping swells for over a month, what a way to start the new year... Check out a gimbal stabilizer for the camera and it would be an incredible video...

[@monicacampbell4600]

AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME FOOTAGE!! The real-time, close up shots curled my toes and thrilled my heart. THANK YOU for drawing us into your world! What a treasure.

[@supportiranianfreedom4982]

These dudes are amazing!!! Anybody know the music track they played a couple times in this video?

[@amadahita2073]

Ahhhh so good i want rn ahhh amazing waves gotta keep myself over I always watch amazed riding the heavy waves with heavy music like Delta Parole or with relaxing music videos in background.

[@neptunesgold1216]

So it's legal to have jet skis out there? Is that just ghost trees where they banned them?

[@PowerlinesProductions]

It's ok during High Surf advisories and when your family and friends or even not friends, are out to add safety.

[@tonelok]

1:50 is about the sickest carve off the top I've ever seen.

[@stevenlindsay3060]

duuuuude that was so buck

[@matthewb8229]

The waves have been absolutely massive down here in below Pt. Sal.

[@VRGPICTURES]

MAVs is SO GNARLY! Great footy! Keep em coming!

[@joseluis7118]

Loved the music at the end...quite zen.

[@26poppysal]

great edit

[@thejonathanrath]

Big fan of powerlines for a decade plus. Thank you guys for bringing us Mavs footage over the years! Image Stabilization would help your footage -- bumpy out there.

[@jacobgraff6036]

This video had me rewinding and slow mo-ing 30 times

[@jasontaylor7823]

Fastest wave iv ever seen! You guys are dope🌊

[@vinimakito7553]

How fast u go pon this kind of pretty waves?? 50KM/H, 10 Miles? I know when we love we no count ..

[@jonburg1787]

You’ve gotta end the cliff side commentary. The surfers and the waves more than speak for themselves. Thank you

[@lindatohara6438]

Awesome footage

[@clarkewi]

Not that big?? Looks pretty big to me.

[@zackieboy]

Was hoping I could find some footage of Mavericks from yesterday or the day before. Thanks for posting.

[@nickc3121]

Is it ever possible to grab a night sesh with the pack, or just any pack. Full moon tonight and such with what I imagine are superb settings by the weather right now somewhere close by.

[@PowerlinesProductions]

There's some fog lingering lately

[@decoff]

Nice swell. In all honestly, you might want to invest in a Gyro stabilizer.. Watching some of the clips makes me dizzy.

[@PowerlinesProductions]

Ya shit, any suggestions for a small one? Gotta put camera away at times for rescue so not much room for a big one.

[@decoff]

@@PowerlinesProductions Get me on a boat with you and Ill give you one.

[@MrWardooo]

Do you guys know if at Mavericks I'm allowed to go to the Pillar Point Air Force Area to take some pictures of the surfers? Cz from the beach it's impossible xD

[@PowerlinesProductions]

The cliff up from the beach is a great perspective with a good lens.

[@MrWardooo]

​@@PowerlinesProductions I have a 150-600 + 1.4x...but people like me can go up there? or do i need permission?

It's amazing to watch surfers cut back into the barrel. Mavricks waves are to damn heavy. The lip slams shut quick. So much respect to the sufers riding these waves. By the way yall out there doing tricks. Your the reason my neighbors think I am nuts. I was watching this in my truck. #apeshit. Powerlines wow 👌

I had the pleasure of seeing these runs with my own eyes that day. Snapped a couple photos from the cliff, but they're only 10x. Would have loved to have a drone or boat to get some better shots. It was certainly firing that day.
