Historic Day of Surfing in San Diego - December 29, 2023

[@johnrutter3985]

This raw footage is so much sicker than a soundtrack, the commentary makes it feel like youre there!

[@Coconutscott]

Always.

[@krusher74]

yes you can soak in all the bullshit.

Love the live streaming effect. Great footage!

It’s fun watching all the lajolla hipsters

[@QU1RKONE]

San Diego or Padang?

[@surferj0e]

I’m a San Diego native and have surfed all over SD county. I am now (and permanently) unable to get into the water due to complications from cancer surgery. I appreciate you capturing these amazing moments in SD. 🙏🏼 I live vicariously through any surf vids.

[@jimmicane]

So sorry to hear that but happy to send you stoke

[@simontemplar1]

you aint alone bro, been surfing Norcal since the 60s and age and injuries have now taken over........time for the young uns to have their day.

The perfect footage. No music, no special effects... It's just like being there. FINALLY! Thank you for this!

[@haveaday1812]

I surfed Sunset cliffs yesterday. It’s was unbelievable. Broke my favorite board. There were only 8 of us out there, very experienced locals. 5 of us broke boards. That’s a 62.5 % kill ratio lol. And the shore break paddling in from that was just insanity.

[@davidanderson8469]

Yeah,we went by at about 2:00 pm and it was mammoth. A bit lumpy though. We should have gone to Dolphin tanks too.

I was surfing in Pacific beach 2 days ago and my leash snapped and was in the impact zone of 10-12ft waves for a couple minutes! These waves don’t play around, I’m happy I made it back

[@newmo81]

How tf u get out

[@BlazingShackles]

You still use a leash? Grow up.

[@Zeusandhispups]

This used to be my spot back in the early 90's!!! Absolutely love seeing guys charge this place. Ron would be stoked!!! Miss you buddy!

[@chir0pter]

Keep coming back to this. 12:05 and elsewhere mini-Chopes, super thick round barrels pealing off the clear subtropical waters of the Southern California Countercurrent. Spectacular. I've been out of surfing for a while having only just moved back to near the coast. I had no notion this was kicking off, except I could smell the salt spray from 7 miles inland! Just a really cool natural event, both mother nature and these surfers putting on a show!

[@blazesyka6527]

Best footage I've seen of this swell. Excellent work.

[@jimmicane]

Glad you enjoyed it 🙌

[@BrandonLoures]

Came here to say the same!!

[@johnkling3537]

Pay attention to this master of One & Done surf video with commentary and dialogue. Cover the scene with video. Color the action with pointed descriptions. Contrast with different observations. Feels like a chat among friends. Fantastic coverage. Thank you.

[@jimmicane]

I would be doing this anyways! May as well share 🙌

[@JanJanitorial-wf5pp]

I much prefer commentary to music.

[@Antmanmoto]

I am an old guy, ex Californian in Atlanta… what a cool watch this was. Thanks from the dirty south! Man, when the sun came out, it just went straight magical!

[@stevenhuarte]

This is so epic. Congratulations! Thanks for dropping it for us!!

[@rvmcwhorter]

Wowowowowowowow!!!!! That guy Skip !! Holy @*&@* !! This is freakin amazing. Those barrels were easily comparable to pipe. Thanks for showing the whole thing , the waves got better and better.

Great video!! Brings back memories of surfing that same spot in the late 80s and early 90s. Epic conditions!

[@chriszimmermann1442]

Thanks mate, was awesome that you caught it all and edited too! Great to see!

[@chrisdarby2233]

That wave right there is one of the hardest and most technical waves to ride successfully in SD.

[@bbchester6]

Reminds me of Puerto just colder.

[@lloydchristmas1086]

lol ok

[@JesusIsKingAndTheSonOfGod]

He's not lying lol. You have 2 sections of reef that closeout into each other on half of the waves (on the best days). You fall deep on the south end and you have a 20 minute circle back through the channel. The good ones feel like you're too deep but you are not. There's so much that goes into it. These guys are great surfers that are making it look like it's doable. Black's is way easier of a wave.

[@jimmicane]

Truth!

[@jblo76]

What spot is it?

[@BRZguy]

That's insane! I learned to surf on Pacific Beach last year and now I surf on Lake Michigan but these waves are on a whole other level!

[@vulgarninja9]

Well done. I appreciated your narration and sounds of the neighborhood, rather than soundtrack. Outstanding footage. HNY!

[@jimmicane]

A bunch of friends and randoms stopped by so it was non stop chatterbox haha

[@bruderandlouise]

I live in La Jolla and have been watching the power the past few days when I walk my dog down. It’s amazing to see the surfers literally at the Cove when they are normally down at the Shores bc of where they’re breaking. Also, can you please explain to someone who is too cowardly to surf, how are the boards breaking? Is it the powerful smashing of the waves or are they hitting the rocks? You guys are incredible athletes!!!

[@TBJohnson-d2q]

The wave

[@didymostruespeal]

Watch the movie North Shore. 1980s movie see that place there. (Place where the top meets bottom). Don't be there!. So the boards were there. The lip of the wave is a karate chop.

[@bloblablah7409]

Sometimes when a wave is pitching, guys will bail their board so that the board is positioned parallel to the lip of the wave to distribute the energy of the lip more evenly across the board as opposed to the lip landing on the board perpendicularly where it would put more stress in one small area of the board increasing the probability of the board to snap

[@briseboy]

Boards are basically potato chips. I broke 3 one day, and it was only 7-8 feet, like this.

[@kstark2298]

THANK YOU for the great video!!!

[@edwardkaneshiro6437]

Aloha from hawaii! Brah these waves looks like pipline on Oahu's north shore! Thanks for posting! Mahalo!

[@fabiomeirelles254]

A textura do mar 🌊 eh algo que impressiona. Eh um ser com vida própria e nitidamente feliz!!!

[@erics4127]

Barrels at this spot almost always pinch and arent makeable. Part of the reef broke off during a big storm a long time ago and its never been the same since. Not really a makeable barrel, more of a novelty.

[@jdutch]

Yep. Grew up surfing here in 80s. Epic days back then. 8 guys was crowded on days as good or better than this.

[@jimmicane]

Interesting I’ve never heard that! Definitely hard to find but there were a lot of good ones this swell. Conditions aligned

Damn! Firing down there!!! HB has been firing but not like that! Sick Video! Love it! 🔥🔥🔥

[@astronuts2224]

Wow, the first few minutes are heat pounding with the break at high tide, great watch, thanks from the UK.✌️

[@RobertojavierSilvaharth-ub3pz]

Nothing like Big Rock in SoCal when it goes off. La Jolla is one of the most beautiful places insanediego. Loved it!!

[@wasupray]

that is NOT Big Rock. Look at the street and houses It is Horseshoe reef and Hospitals reef.

[@bloblablah7409]

Both of you are wrong, this is at Tourmaline Surfing Park straight out in front of parking lot. I don’t like blowing up spots but I felt I had to correct you guys

[@wasupray]

Yeah you got it right Law street....LOL@@bloblablah7409

[@yotarunner85]

I’m not saying who’s right or wrong but the house on the left with the flag is on 274 Coast Blvd. La Jolla. Just south of Cuvier park. It’s about 3 miles north of Tourmaline beach. Or less than a mile south of La Jolla cove. Just looked on Google earth.

[@Natedig2]

This was my home break from 1990-1998. North swells are always shifty, the place shines on rare big southwest swells. When it walls out across the channel to the right all the way to the break named after a street, then it's really big.

[@freedom4surfers777]

Dude, I passed you while you were filming looking for a place to fly my drone, just about 50 yards from you I set off to film that break. I left after a while to film the outer reef at marine street. You did a great job dude. I've shared tour video around to my friends, that was by far the best I've seen this spot go off

[@mpfaff6341]

Incredible to see La Jolla break like this. What a left! Thanks for sharing.

Took a few years to figure out but when you get a good one you are stoked for days. Hopefully more good swells to come. Next one get closer on the edge of the cliff.
