Chasing Mavericks is the inspirational true story of real life surfing phenom Jay Moriarity (Jonny Weston).

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 just surfing.

Chasing Mavericks was made with the help of some of the biggest names in the surfi ng world, and features some of the most mind-blowing real wave footage ever captured on fi lm. Surfers who have heard the tragic story of Jay Moriarty, and lovers of Point Break and Blue Crush will be drawn to the call of the waves with Chasing Mavericks.
