Last weekend, Chris MacAskill, Ivan Makarov, Kevin Harrington and Michael Bonocore from SmugMug were invited to shoot the Mavericks Invitational Big Wave Surf tournament from a boat cruising right off of the famed - and dangerous - Mavericks surf break, a world-famous big wave break located one-half mile off the coast of Half Moon Bay, California. Armed with enough photography equipment to make @Borrow Lenses jealous, the team came away with footage of some of the world's best surfers, plus an awesome slow motion, action-packed movie of the competition as well. We hope you like it as much as they enjoyed making it!
