Christmas came early for a group of big wave chargers, who paddled into some epic Mavericks conditions after a meaty swell lit up Half Moon Bay this past December.

Check out the best makes and misses from the session, and you'll see why surfing Mavericks in heavy conditions is not for the faint of heart.
