Watch Surfers Suffer Nightmare Wipeouts at Mavericks and Vote for the Worst
The Mavericks Awards Festival kicks off Friday and it needs you to vote on the worst wipeouts of the 2023 season. It's easy, watch the wipeouts below and the carnage that ensues, then cast your vote.
According to its website, "The Mavericks Awards is a digital video performance contest in which big wave surfers and videographers submit their best surf content from Mavericks from the entire winter season."
Then there's the festival, which celebrates the notorious big wave surf break with food, drinks, surf paraphernalia, and music in Half Moon Bay, California.
Mavericks Awards Festival posted the wipeout compilation above yesterday and captioned it:
"VOTE FOR THE WORST WIPEOUT ☠️ (Comment 1-7)
"Safety is a big priority at Mavericks and we are greatly appreciative of the water safety team that helps keep us safe when the waves hit hard.
"In recognition of a fearless dedication to the pursuit of epic waves and the courage to embrace the ocean’s power, Rod & Hammer will be presenting the “Get Hammered” award, which honors the surfer who faced the fiercest wipeout of the season, and we need your help to decide the winner!
"Their resilience in the face of the ocean’s might is an inspiration to us all, reminding us that even in the most challenging moments, boldness prevails, and we can all celebrate an epic day of surfing with a strong glass of whiskey!
"We’ll see you soon at the Mavericks Festival this weekend (9/30-10/1) to present the award and pour some delicious whiskey in the Rod & Hammer VIP Zone."
