Surf's Up NightLife

Mavericks Film with Pro-Surfer Panel

We're pleased to present a screening from the soon to be released movie 'Super Natural' from Powerlines Productions.  This includes footage from last year's big wave event at Mavericks and giant surf from Pe'ahi  (aka "Jaws").    The movie's producers will introduce the piece and each screening will be followed by talks and Q & A with a panel of professional surfers.  Check back here as the event approaches for confirmed panel participants.

There will be two film screenings, each followed by the panel discussion.  Seating is limited, passes will be available on a first-come, first-served basis on the night of the event.
