Jonny Weston Gives Away a Chasing Mavericks Surfboard

Big screen newcomer Jonny Weston’s been out on the road doing publicity for the dramatic surf movie, Chasing Mavericks, based on a true story. And one of his stops on the publicity tour was at a high school in San Diego where he posed for photos with students and signed autographs. After answering questions about shooting the film and his own surfing experience, Weston gave away a replica surfboard identical to the one he used in Chasing Mavericks.

The Plot:

Chasing Mavericks is the inspirational true story of real life surfing phenom Jay Moriarity (played by Weston). When 15 year old Jay discovers that the mythic Mavericks surf break, one of the biggest waves on Earth, is not only real, but exists just miles from his Santa Cruz home, he enlists the help of local legend Frosty Hesson (played by Gerard Butler) to train him to survive it. As Jay and Frosty embark on their quest to accomplish the impossible, they form a unique friendship that transforms both their lives, and their quest to tame Mavericks becomes about far more than surfing.
