When young Jay Moriarty discovers that the mythic Mavericks surf break, one of the biggest waves on Earth, exists just miles from his Santa Cruz home, he enlists the help of local legend Frosty Hesson to train him to survive it.

Gerard Butler returns to the inspirational “based on real events” sub-genre (after last year’s little-seen Machine Gun Preacher) with Chasing Mavericks, a film about the late surfing icon Jay Moriarty’s origins as a master of the waves. The movie was directed by Curtis Hanson (LA Confidential, 8 Mile) and stars Jonny Weston as the young Jay.

The trailer picks up with a 16-year old Jay skipping out on class – and, instead, enviously watching local surfers cruising over the Northern Californian waves. One of those board-happy fellows, a man named Frosty Hesson (Butler) eventually agrees to take Jay as his pupil and trains him to ride the state’s most dangerous breaks (known as Mavericks).

Chasing Mavericks ventures further into coming of age/inspirational sports drama territory from thereon out, as Jay goes through the customary training montage moments (ie. failing comically, encountering personal obstacles, and ultimately maturing into a competent surfer/young man). Frosty assumes the responsibilities of a surrogate father to Jay, as their respective journeys culminate with the latter’s ascent into the ranks of surfing legend.

Running time: 105 minutes

Surfer Jay Moriarty, who died in a diving accident the day before his 23rd birthday, achieved fame by surfing Mavericks, a famously forbidding California surfing spot. There’s no doubt a fascinating story in that, about the drive and commitment it would take a kid to achieve such a feat at such a young age. It’s unlikely, however, that it resembles The Karate Kid as closely as Chasing Mavericks, a family-friendly retelling of Moriarty’s life. Gerard Butler co-stars as Frosty Hesson, Moriarty’s mentor, portrayed here as a bearded, crusty surf-Miyagi to Jonny Weston’s worshipful Daniel-san. The son of an absentee dad and a mother (Elisabeth Shue) who spends half her time in an alcoholic fugue, Weston worships Butler, a lifelong surf enthusiast who lives next door. Having lost his parents when he was young, Butler has a hard time relating to kids, whether they’re his own, or neighbors eager to learn the ways of the surf. But over the course of the film, he learns to open up his heart a bit.
