Those that are return to it, again and again."
Chasing Mavericks is an inspirational, up-lifting film based on a true story about a local Santa Cruz surf hero, Jay Moriarity (1978-2001). The actor who plays Jay, Jonny Weston, immortalizes Jay's spirit and carries on his legacy by demonstrating Jay's importance and value of perseverance and determination. At only 8 years of age, Jay learned the basics of surfing and it wasn't long before he caught his first wave. Once known as merely a myth, "Mavericks" is sought to be one of the most deadly waves in California, if not, the world. Even the most highly skilled and trained surfers fear their lives when it comes to Mavericks. This film captures the essence of where pure passion, hard work, love, and true friendship can take anyone in life. Although it catches the attention of avid surfer and sea fanatics alike, Chasing Mavericks offers a deeper, enlightening message to all its viewers that life is too short to waste it on things you're not passionate about and to take every opportunity as if it were your last.
I would highly recommend this movie, and would give it two thumbs up.
