Sion Milosky, 35, of Kalaheo, Kauai, Hawaii, has died after enduring a two-wave hold down around 6:30 p.m of waves 40ft upwards at Mavericks.
He is only the second surfer to ever die at Mavericks, the other was Mark Foo in 1994.
About a dozen surfers, including several from Santa Cruz, gathered Wednesday to surf the break, which can produce wave faces as big as 80 feet.
He was awarded north shores underground surfer award last year and was known for having taken the biggest wave ever paddled in for.
He leaves behind a wife and two young daughters and will be greatly missed in the big wave surfing community.
Thoughts to the family!
