ASJ attended a ceremonial paddle out led by Mavericks pioneer Jeff Clarkย and entrepreneur Chris Cuvelier. At sunset, the two men were joined by over thirty community members to celebrate Mavericks and the launch of an exciting new video performance contest: Mavericks Surf Awards.
On October 26, 2018 a group of elite surfers paddled out for the official opening ceremonies of the 2018/2019 World Surf League (WSL) Mavericks Big Wave Challenge. For the first time ever, ten women were invited to an opening ceremony of an official Mavericks contest.
A GoFundMe campaign has been launched to support Powerlines Productions with its PWC (aka Jetski) operational overhead in preparation for the upcoming Mavericks season.
In a move that has shocked and inspired the surfing world, the World Surf League announced equal prize money will be awarded to men and women at all WSL controlled events.
Itโs 2018 and women have finally gotten their foot in the door of big wave surf contests. Gaining tenure in that arena, however, is a work in progress. The world has seen women compete at Jaws and Nelscott Reef, but we are still waiting to see them compete at the most notorious big wave location in California ... Mavericks.
On a bright day in mid-November, a dozen big wave surfers made history and set a new precedent for all who will come behind them. These 12 intrepid women stood up to dangerously windy conditions at the Peโahi Womenโs Challenge in Maui and became the first women to compete in their own big wave event alongside their male counterparts.
