Based on the inspirational true story of surfing icon Jay Moriarty, Chasing 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.
This was a cutesy, heartstring pulling movie. Think Karate Kid but with surfing. You know the story from the trailer. There are no surprises. Just a good build up to a completely expected outcome. The footage of the waves was amazing.
I would somewhat recommend people checking this out. It is not a must see by any means, but there are much worse things that you could be watching.
