[@DonaldDuck4Quack]

Dude, I surfed Blacks early 80's with another guy, just the 2 of us at first. Walked down the trail about 6:45am and beheld a triple overhead day breaking exactly like that. Bottom of the trail, just to the right an undertow current pulled you out and then you paddle to the south to catch the monster, breaking over the one sand bar break in southern Cali that has Massive waves once in a great while. I was the caught one wave and went straight back out. It scared the shit out of me! Mind you I surfed Carlsbad, Huntington, Eagles, Swami's, Newport, Encinitas, The K's in Mexico, I was a seasoned 10 - 12ft face junkie. But that day, triple that!

Andrey Agiy 👏

[@xisotopex]

wow that looks so fun... love the overhead a frames

[@Ibprius]

It's not quite Pipeline, it's not quite Padang, and it's not quite world class...but its California class. We locals love it. It packs a punch. Occassionally gives you a really nice barrel. Never closes out. And feels heavier than it looks from shore. Good ol' Blacks. The average Joe's big wave spot. Where a medium size wave makes you feel like you just slayed Goliath...meanwhile at Nazare this "best day of the year" wouldnt even qualify as good. Seems our California, white collar surfer egos have really been put in check. We are not as courageous as we think. Or maybe deep down we always knew it's not "that's heavy." The other side of Point Conception has always been an instrument of humility for myself. I always wondered what it would be like if the Blacks Canyon were somewhere in central cal? Would we have our own Nazare on just a little bit smaller of a swell? Anyone who surfs out there knows that at 4x overhead it's a phenomenal wave. Incomparable to any size beneath it. Imagine it at 6-8x overhead. Probably even more impressive. Could we dynamite underwater off of the central coast and recreate the canyon? Would this be a better answer go our limited resources than wavepools. Who knows?

[@SoCalSurfer]

TooTrue if we did that the whole cliff would collapse 😂

[@louisanthony266]

Wow, I heard it was perfect that day, but didn’t get to see it. It’ll be a while before I get the courage to paddle out there. Need to improve first lol. Love these vids man.

[@hudsonlandry]

I know him hes not a kook

[@hillandrewdavid]

He’s stoked with his nice wave with a a little head dip, nothing wrong with that.... don’t think that qualifies as kooking it. You’re the kook expert though, what do you think @surfingkook??

[@Travel_Cebu222]

Got a full cover up on that there over head wave. Certainly qualifies as barreled. The real kooks arr the shoulder hoppers, throwing avalanches over on people's set waves. Saw a hand full of waves messed up by those over anxious lookyloo's.

[@bgwhalley]

@@Travel_Cebu222 I'm busting balls. The dude tried. Better than those who don't. And a wave that size whether you get barreled or not is worth a claim IMO!

@@SoCalSurfer footage is good, 98% of surfers completely suck, just to be clear..it's not your fault they suck. they don't know how to time the barrel, they speed up for no reason(they're scared, which is just laughable&pathetic), they slow down cause they clearly don't know what they're doing, pulling into close outs is way more better than pulling out(for 1, you look like a b!tch, and for 2, you get ragdolled like a b!tch), so many sections should of been floated or launched off of, but nope not once! just weakass bailouts. hence..embarrassing&pathetic hows windnsea? that place has consequences for being that sh!tty
