Exploring Pismo Beach during RARE Kings Tide with chaotic surf

[@JasonLeeCalifornia]

Hats off to the competitors who made surfing the Saturday closeouts look good. Definitely epic conditions for downwind foiling though!

[@fboness368]

The California Dream is still alive if you know where to look. Nice video!

[@barryhill6482]

Pismo looks cool! Need to go!

[@notsure7899]

Crazy to see such familiar sights after so many years - my teenage stomping grounds. Been a while, the town has had some upgrades. Typical conditions - choppy, rough and unpredictable. But I still miss it.

Really fun to see you getting out of your usual places (hint hint).

Hey Brad, that walkaround Pismo reminded me of your Atlantic City trip with Trevor! Pismo - Atlantic City, say what?? Just hear me out. This video looked so much like the imagery of Bruce Springsteen's Sandy/4th of July, old footage and photos of the E-Street band around towns in New Jersey, Asbury Park, etc. In the early 70's Bruce and the band lived and practiced in Neptune in the back of the Challenger East Surfboards Factory. The shaper/owner of Challenger East, Carl “Tinker” West was their first manager. Carl West started shaping San Diego but most of the boards he made were going east. So, he packed up his tools and moved to New Jersey... and the rest they say, is history. Bruce has named the Beach Boys as one of his major influences, he learned to surf and has told in interviews he and the band would spend their days surfing and playing music, he's apparently also shaped a board or two. (More recently he's admitted he's been lucky to have never had a real job in his life). Anyway, one of Bruce's other major contributions to heartland rock is a song called Atlantic City.

We refer to this break as Abismo! And good luck finding high end quality food! There is none!

@RoboJandro 😆 🤣 😂 😹

[@crunchers9]

Cracked Crab was really good, and there are several good places at hotels up the beach.

[@DavidSurfsohyeah]

Pismo is such an underrated place lowkey

[@eddyb6790]

Hopefully you went by Old West for a cinnamon roll...

I swear I sat next to that girl on the right you were talking to on a connecting flight from Taiwan. She said she was from Ventura

Homie was staying at the Pismo Sea Sprite … Pre-renovation.

[@roderickmcleod4864]

IDK why they hold all the surf comps at pismo, the views are sick, the city is cool, but the surf is never good... only good spots in SLO are fully localized, I wont mention them so I don't get sniped.

[@grembo8470]

Pismo is the ultimate local spot

[@Knb-u5y]

The sea was angry

[@rodneyrichardson8286]

How much did you pay for room?

[@erik7747]

Yes travel more! just not to Abismo! Point breaks with pros please and thank you! If I want to watch non pros surf like kooks I go to Casey Willax! Oh wait! I unsubscribed because I don't want to watch kooks surfing.
