Nelscott Reef December 6th 2018

Locals and visiting big wave surfers from around the world riding clean Nelscott Reef even after a curious great white shark visited the lineup earlier that day.

[@mikthe2004]

It's good to see people paddling in to these, instead of getting towed. My only criticism would be that I'd liked to have seen the guys positioning themselves and the actual paddle onto the wave. You started the footage on almost all the waves just as they took off. Great footage though regardless!!

[@BigDaddy-hn7oh]

This is what I call the soul , the real life,oh yeah I recognize this ,what surfing used to be about, . . Down home, . . Job well done

[@marksheehan8026]

Easy listening n visual clip . Looks like a fun day out .

[@joblo6394]

what a day! love the music on this too

[@archstanton_live]

An amazing day! The musac is a ripoff of the Grateful Dead's "Dark Star".

[@joblo6394]

@@archstanton_live ripoff? Idk, to me that’s a bit of a stretch -inspired might be better word imo 🤷🏽‍♂️🤙🏼

[@archstanton_live]

@@joblo6394 inspired. btw, I should have said "Wharf Rat" rather than "Dark Star".

[@joblo6394]

@@archstanton_live it’s pretty sweet, just love this edit

[@archstanton_live]

@@joblo6394 We all love what we love, just don't ever say you never appreciated a Jerry Garcia composition :) I like what Jerry's fingers can do with the melody, I like the words (first person, second person, third person) that Robert Hunter wrote to go with it. I think the "cover" (it is hardly that) used in the video is lacking due to it's synthetic drum track and instrumentation. Besides it is too short. But hey amigo, whatever floats your board ;)

[@gwarlo5793]

You're kidding yourself if you think this is an easy wave or spot. It's freezing-ass Oregon, and it breaks way offshore.. Rarely pristine conditions like this epic footage.

[@mm2024-7]

It is indeed a long paddle with the back sets way way out there. I was there in 2017 when it was 17’. Lots of distance between sets.

[@afatty322]

This my goal in a couple of years, to paddle out to this beauty!!! Thankfully I'm next to salem so not too far!!!!

[@Surfinsolitude]

afatty322 one of my goals as well. Been working up my courage in larger surf.

[@insolentstickleback3266]

Thanks for sharing, old Oregon surf dog.

[@ralphiewigs2208]

What a beautiful wave. Reminds me a bit of Sunset but cleaner and smoother.

[@outsidechambaz]

And less hollow

[@charlesschuster7963]

@@outsidechambaz Large, cold, offshore. But not much compared to Sunset.. ever surf there? I have but quite some years ago now. Still living the good life in Honolulu.

[@Ploz5555]

Nice to see such beautiful sets, and not so extreme waves so that I can even think of catching one by myself!

[@nickl8984]

Those are big waves, if your not an experienced surfer you definitely wouldn't be catching any of these waves, I know that sounds good when your watching it on KZbin but in person it jus wouldn't happen

[@Ploz5555]

@@nickl8984 True: who has not been all fired up looking at big waves surf movies, then in front of reality, motivation melt down as much as fear start to grow. Anyway, my actual limit is 3m+ in mellow waves. Most important is to have a defined line-up, to have time to observe the waves from close

[@nickl8984]

@@Ploz5555 totally agree, so many times when we were young on big days ive seen friends on the beach act super cocky then Once we got outside and they realized how big it was like hurricane Francis here in FL when it was a solid 15ft, they turn right around and ride some white wash in stricken with fear, it all looks fun into you got pitched from the top of the first 15ft wave of a set then pop up with a snapped board and 2 or 3 more waves Rollin in breaking right on your head, then again u might catch the waves of your life, no risk no reward when it comes to surfing 🤙

[@markusbroyles1884]

This would be a great longboard wave ~ Lots of cutbacks inside ~

[@fredsmith8873]

Beautiful conditions. At 1:52 that sure is pretty!!! Wow!

[@surfnrob]

Thanks. That was an incredible day for filming and surfing.

[@megclifton6692]

As cold as it gets!!!!!

[@user-ou6yf8zr3m]

Just beautiful🤙

[@rebel-yell9453]

Offshores must have been howling judging how difficult it was to punch through the top to get a good drop-in.

[@johnanthonycafe2993]

Looks like a learner’s big wave- good photography

[@megclifton6692]

Bahahahah it's 40° water idiot

[@Rogue_wave]

Wow, a day for the books

[@jenninext]

Can you tell me what song/soundtrack this is? Asking for my 74 year old dad who called me just now raving about this video, the spot, and the SOUND.

[@RaulEdu33]

Nice spot for a longboard or a SUP board. Great footage 👌😎

[@AuRowe]

Wow such a forgiving wave

[@stretch8399]

Cool clip mate, can I ask what the track is? It's great!!!

[@archstanton_live]

I couldn't personally say where the track from Stretch, but I know both the melody and percussion were synthetically ripped off from The Grateful Dead's "Warf Rat". hth

[@jotacanosa4171]

looks sharky

[@retribution999]

I hate wipeouts to the same degree I love riding waves. That's why I prefer head height and no more.

[@joetspaulding]

Looks like kanaha, Maui, hi

[@tjanderson1972]

Wow; you are so right! I surfed Kanaha for many years; it’s my favorite surf spot on earth! On its absolute hugest days, when all the outer reefs are firing (Pier One; Sprecks; Jaws; etc.), I’d say Kanaha approaches this size. I’ve had a few close calls on some mackers there, and I’m pretty sure they were about the size of the waves in this vid. Great take! 👍🏻‼️

[@guilhermeterraiafullo9054]

BEAUTIFUL, WHAT MUSIC IS THIS?

[@archstanton_live]

The musak is a lame version of The Grateful Dead's "Warf Rat".

You would drown idiot

[@krakenwoodfloorservicemcma5975]

Angling on large waves like this is only for the daredevils and the foolhardy.

[@tommythompsonsurfer]

very easy with wimp wave but becomes great when 20-30 feet with smokin offshorewinds........hawaii waves in Oregon..........blessings to all.

[@toddwaldo5320]

the wave does not seem to stand fully up. Kinda mussy imo 59 yr local. On this good of a day I can think of many other spots that would be firing.

[@pnwsurfing]

What a good day!

[@cthompson5195]

Beautiful waves, not much meat after the drop.

Too many sharks

So many hardcore chargers talkn big on the youtubes . Shut up and surf. You wouldn't go.

[@doblechizburger5770]

This is a fuckin dream! Giant waves but "easy" waves.

[@megclifton6692]

Definitely can drown out there it's very cold water far offshore and big

[@dlvox5222]

Sort of mushy but for right on the peak. It’s Oregon so this is probably a big deal for the locals. Average day for most of our SoCal/Mex big wave spots.
