SYNOPSIS

Scripted by Kario Salem and Brandon Hooper and based on the true story of surfing icon Jay Moriarty, this film (formally titled Mavericks) tells the story of a young man's quest to surf Northern California's most dangerous wave, and the local legend who takes him under his wing. What begins as a mentorship turns into a unique lifelong bond, as the two unlikely friends discover that there is nothing more powerful than pushing your limits and chasing a nearly impossible dream.
