PHOTOS: 'Of Men and Mavericks' Films in San Gregorio

Movie about Mavericks surfer Jay Moriarity filmed south of Half Moon Bay on Tuesday and Wednesday.

Earlier this week, Iron Cross Productions took over the parking lot at San Gregorio Beach as a base camp to film "" along the coast between Half Moon Bay and Santa Cruz.

The movie is about the life of well-known big wave surfer Jay Moriarity who rode the waves at Mavericks just outside of Half Moon Bay. It stars Gerard Butler, Jonny Weston and Elisabeth Shue.

Traffic had been momentarily stopped yesterday on Highway 1 near San Gregorio Beach on Wednesday to allow a movie rig to turn around.
