MASSIVE EL PORTO XXL SURFING (RAW)

[@jarrodderr]

When it’s smackin so hard only two dudes paddle out!! 🎶

[@Jason-TheChad-Muska_circa1995]

Only two dudes paddled out because it's garbage. There's no point. It was firing then I'm out there but it ain't so I ain't.

[@connormanolis9967]

Great song!

[@jasonanaya8011]

There was no shape. Who wants 12 foot closeouts?? Not me.

[@jarrodderr]

@@jasonanaya8011 yeah. Guess it’s only relevant if it’s your own back yard. Growing up in Gundo was just luck if the draw I suppose. 🤙

[@odurandina]

pulling the ejection stick too early to save his board kinda blows.

[@jamesknight4633]

So nice to just hear the sounds of the ocean instead of some crappy music.

[@NONSTOPSURFF]

Hahaha agreed

[@cunn1n6ham]

So wild, you wish everyone on earth could just experience a 4-6 foot close out at el Porto so they could truly appreciate what kind of insane athletes these surfers are. So impressive

[@NONSTOPSURFF]

No kidding!!

[@PaintGuy]

Haha so true. Would absolutely not attempt anything close to this size there.

[@JoelGoose]

Takes balls to drop in knowing that most likely you're dropping into a 15 foot DOH to TOH closeout

[@PinkCampfire]

One of the heaviest wipeouts I received was at 8ft El Porto. Man that felt so heavy! It immediately launched me to the bottom and i slammed against the sandbed on my back. I can't imagine what it feels like to wipe out on a day like this.

[@antoniosaxon8605]

​@@JoelGoose Balls the Size of Pumpkins

[@jamiepaolinetti5087]

Surfed it this size half a dozen times in the last 45 years. All I have to say is there is a reason that spot by the jetty is known as Hammer Land, so no matter who you are, bring some extra change because you are going to pay the piper sooner or later.

[@markrosenquist8259]

I lived in the South Bay for 10yrs. I used to surf El Porto a lot. One thing when it got any kind of size it was always closed out. Props to these guys for giving it a go.

[@mikel5582]

That unfortunately describes most of the beach breaks in SoCal. Make the drop, bottom turn, and then shoot out the back before getting crunched by the closeout.

[@mj-nx9rf]

You must not surf outside of the South Bay region cuz there’s peaky beach breaks points and reefs that were firing from this swell

[@robsan52]

@@mikel5582 Yeah that's what I remember from back in the age of dinosaurs.

[@markrosenquist8259]

@@mj-nx9rf Of course there was. I was talking about El Porto in general.

[@ocvegasproperty]

Yeah, el Porto is closed out on 3 foot days….”let’s go there when is double o”

[@F3502000]

What a great 6 to 7 minutes of bravery this was!! Have been slammed by surf this big at HB and almost drowned. Hats off to these guys! 👏

[@Appalling68]

Classic El Porto. No shape, no form...unsurfable just about at any size. I CAN'T BELIEVE I spent a few of my formative years there!

[@ingnir]

Where around there do you recommend?

[@parkersanderson180]

Those are some beautiful massive swells!!!!!! Man the tide must be coming up the beach pretty fast and far with these waves I love this!!!!!!!

[@larrytvg2169]

Who ARE those guys!? That's a master class in huge walled up beach break surfing!

[@frankied9577]

This is why it's called HAMMERLAND

[@bobwallace4198]

I moved to El Porto at 5yrs old,in 1945 when I was about 8yrs old I saw a wave brake way outside the old oil peir which at the time the deck house was 35 ft above high tide and the soup whent over the house, the wave was about 70ft +.

[@bradytepstein64]

This is not true bob wallace :(

[@mydogatemyhomework3768]

@@bradytepstein64 yeah it's true, I was riding that wave

[@sdlegend9927]

Bob - stop it

[@saleslafood]

The two surfers were LA County life guards (per some life guards on the beach who were also watching)

[@NONSTOPSURFF]

That rules!!

[@xsemp001]

As Mark Occhilupo said 3 is crowd 2 is company 🤙

[@grom7826]

Mex must be going off big time. In 1977 I was surfing Pascuales Tecoman Colima and big 10+ swells were coming in. I called friends in CA and they told me that there was a huge storm out of Alaska. I could see in the sky big long lines fanning across the sky, from the east to the west. They looked like the swells pushing through Pasquales, La Ticla, and empty surf, (two of us out), at Rio Nesba it was all going off.

[@mendellang8379]

Salsipuedes must have been INSANE

[@SperoinDeo]

No channel. The paddle out is brutal. Just making out to surf is a tremendous feat. 🤙🏻

[@Lwah0812]

Not a surfer but a lover of waves that surfers dream about.

[@NONSTOPSURFF]

Same! Before I started I loved watching waves.

[@adamburkhart4046]

Those guys are legends

[@RicDrgn]

5:20 Nailed it!

[@eugenegonzales908]

size thins any crowd

[@parkersanderson180]

Ty his is beautiful and fun to watch at the same time. These surfers are amazing

[@naetronic]

Cool to see those guys make a couple! Was fun out there today!

[@Sp4wnK3lla]

Good to see some more big Hammerland footage. It's been awhile.

[@KauaiboyRayce]

Riders of the storm :D

[@JK-vc7ie]

Into the house we’re born I to this house we’re thrown

[@Riker-ER]

These guys are good!

[@timothytice3074]

thank you

[@tiaanschreuder8687]

These dudes can read waves. Always changing and no bad wipes

[@playswithpixels]

I wonder how long it took them to paddle out. I was there watching it and there were absolutely no lulls to make it easier.

[@NONSTOPSURFF]

I missed their paddle out but I bet it wasn’t easy. You’re right, those waves were pumping all day.

[@wmercer7234]

Massive street cred just for making it out in my book

[@jackclingenpeel5020]

I lived in Hawaii twice and these waves are slammin!

[@tommyhofer1176]

2:22 was insane

[@Kurups101]

this shit is so hectic man. i was lookin at it myself just blown away

[@spencerbrady6791]

Flirting with danger. Monsters lurking in the background.

[@dlvox5222]

Woo hoo. Massive close outs

[@Em_Echo]

The aptly named HAMMERLAND.

[@coloradoriversurfer]

From here, it looks Tanker Reef is breaking out the back. Bravo.

[@WhiteNacho]

Kudos to every man out this day!

[@FeelJah2222]

Heavy!!!!

[@madeinusa5395]

Where is this? It look like Huntington on a big day.

[@srf2112]

The woman in the background "that was awesome!" Sounds like she just got her first glimpse of the pacific ocean. Yes ma'am it is.

[@deanreutter3101]

So Bay doing what it always does when it gets big. Closes out.

[@parabola8933]

top to bottom gnar gnar

[@johnstaton4302]

Personally when I used to surf Mexico way way back in the day, dude you get off the plane & hit the beach that first big drop is a MFr I kinda like it a bit more subdued, hey give me a break I'm old. 🍻🤙

[@BodhiNDaddy]

The most messed up surfing winter ever in my 45 years of surfing.

[@marcela3124]

only the best is out there now 🤟

[@markmandelbaum3182]

That isn't big nor ridable .. wrong swell direction. For those who do not know, there is a reef outside of El Porto called Cable Cars.. as they dumped a bunch of Cable Cars out there.. that used to run across Manhattan Beach on the now abandoned "railroad tracks". Check out the swell from 1988 where Joey Buran and Ted Robinson rode truly 20+ Foot plus El Porto Cable Cars- breaking a good half mile out....

[@maguilla]

Definitely separate mediocre surfers to great surfers 🏄‍♂️

[@clarkewi]

Awesome.

[@Madbootdestruction]

Awesome!

[@JamesSmith-wy4gb]

Its amazing )

[@mannmusica]

Epiccccc

[@catmyers9866]

is this El Portal or Mahattan Beach.

[@batboy5023]

its the hammerland jetty north of el porto

[@Hrmn8tor]

Heavy sesh!

[@bryandornan6108]

Where is Sandy Sarconi?

[@odurandina]

pulling the ejection stick too early to save his board kinda blows.

[@michaelfarar4232]

Not worth it unless this would be a training session for a Hawaii trip. Manhattan is a bit smaller so maybe the shape is holding up. This place can be fun at doh but everything has to be perfect

[@batman50ish]

El Porto. Home of the drop.... to close-out.

[@barley290]

el poor-to-fair-to just as ever

[@mikedove8274]

Wow! El Porto sets come in so fast... you make one mistake and get caught by an outside by 15' face you're done... the lips are so thick you lose your breath. Nowhere from San Diego to Santa Barbara has lips as that thick... to bad it wasn't morning glass. It's the Best but the most dangerous surf because of outside sets and the beach breaks.

[@Bryan-jd7os]

The right at 00:24 was breather

[@michaelangelos5117]

Tough to paddle out

[@chrismonteros206]

beat down

[@ocvegasproperty]

El Porto would last place I would surf when it’s huge and the shape is already bad.

[@wakeupthebear]

The water is so stinky there

[@hwn8088]

Why Bother Padding Out If It's Just Closed Out All That Work For 1 Good Wave ,, Pass ,, An In n Out Burger 🍔 Would Be More Tasty Than Them Waves

[@grom7826]

Beats standing onshore doing nothing......

[@tybell1994]

Gotta earn that Double Double

[@coloradoriversurfer]

Sometimes eating shit at Putrids is preferable. Are you an ad?

[@marklindsey4668]

@Shoulderhoppa808. Well that was weak. Your statement does not represent real Hawaiian surfing

[@jackclingenpeel5020]

Did you see where the water hit the beach from two different directions? Stay away from there. These are not waves for a novice.

[@parkersanderson180]

This is I meant 😂

[@Jason-TheChad-Muska_circa1995]

I'm not paddling out in that garbage.
