All-Time: Mavs & 'The Biggest Swell of the Decade' by Drone

All-Time: Mavs & ‘The Biggest Swell of the Decade’ by Drone
Thursday May 13, 2021
, we’ve collaborated with videographer Abe Alarcon, who spent much of this historic winter documenting the action at Mavs by drone. The following is Abe’s firsthand account of filming “the biggest swell of the decade,” his anticipation and nerves the night before, and what he’s taken from the experience.
It was close to midnight on January 9 when the swell fully hit buoys outside of California. I vividly remember sitting at the table with photographer Ben Schutzer inside our hotel room, looking at the charts reading 42.7 ft @ 15.0 secs, averaging about 20 to 18 feet in each period band. I couldn’t believe what I was seeing.
