What it's about:

The inspirational true story of real-life surfing phenom Jay Moriarty. When 15-year-old Jay discovers that the mythic "Mavericks" surf break, one of the biggest waves on Earth, is not only real, but exists just miles from his Santa Cruz home, he enlists the help of local legend Frosty Hesson to train him to tackle it.

As Jay and Frosty embark on their quest to accomplish the impossible, they form a unique friendship that transforms both their lives, and their quest to tame Mavericks becomes about far more than surfing.

The film features some of the most mind-blowing real wave footage ever captured on film.
