The Best Movies About The Ocean – Top Ocean Films
18. Chasing Mavericks (2012)
Another nostalgic film and true story about a Santa Cruz surfer learning to surf the colossal surf break Mavericks. When a 15-year-old surfing phenomenon Jay Moriarty (Jonny Weston) discovers that the mythic Mavericks surf break, one of the biggest waves on Earth, actually exists near his California home, he becomes determined to conquer it. Jay enlists the aid of local surfing legend Frosty Hesson (Gerard Butler) to train him to ride the Mavericks and live to tell about it. As Jay and Frosty carry on their quest to achieve the impossible, they develop a unique friendship that transforms both their lives. Chasing Mavericks is a great film and probably ranks higher on many people’s list of the best movies about the ocean.
