Cuando, a la edad de 15 años, Jay Moriarity (Jonny Weston) descubre que las míticas olas conocidas como "Mavericks", unas de las más descomunales del planeta, se aproximan a su hogar de Santa Cruz, donde van a romper, consigue la ayuda del legendario Frosty Hesson (Gerard Butler) para que lo entrene y así poder sobrevivir a dicho fenómeno. Cuando Jay y Frosty se embarcan en el empeño de lograr lo imposible, va surgiendo entre ellos una singular amistad que transforma sus vidas; y su intento de dominar a las Mavericks se convierte en algo que rebasa la práctica del surf.

The film has its problems. It's possibly too thoughtful, focusing too much on non-action aspects of the story. There isn't much surfing here. You have to get through the rather conversational passages to reach the climax, but I think it's precisely the bonding between Frosty and Jay that's worth it. It's not just about surfing, but also about the relationships between people. Eventually, you learn quite a bit about surfing, but definitely not enough to jump straight onto the board. The film shows that it's a beautiful and dangerous sport. And just as beautiful and sad are the fates of those who practice it. Jay Moriarty is a real character, just like everyone else. His fate was written by life itself, and we get to know him at the peak of his strength, at a time when he wanted to prove himself in ways even older, seasoned surfers wouldn't dare. At present, we can no longer admire his riding of the waves. The film gives us answers to everything and you will learn about the destiny of one determined man.

Waves can be about life, but only if Curtis Hanson takes the worn-out narrative template in his hand and throws in a few skillfully delivered thoughts about life and its joys and struggles, in a well-handled visual execution complemented by a very charismatic Gerard Butler, from whom you expect anything but this kind of strength in his performances. The excellent chemistry on set was no coincidence and worked throughout. The ending is predictable and naturally follows acclaimed Hollywood templates, so it mercilessly slides into mediocrity, but with attentive viewing, the recipient paradoxically embraces the least pompous scenes that are authentic and brilliantly acted (the portrayal of the family background, the essays, the training, etc.).
