Each year the worlds top surfers gather to ride some of the planet's most humongous waves, topping 35 feet + on occasion. Though deaths have occured during the tournament, the spirit of Mavericks continues, and the event always happens at a moments notice: as soon as the waves are up, the competition begins.
