For a 55 year old surfer that used to live in HMB and surf up and down the coast this was a beautiful reminder of how OB can get. Now living on the east coast and it is snowing but still surf I can feel the burn of this paddle. You pull up and it looks perfect and easy paddle out. An hour later and 5 beat downs you make it outside glad to be alive and exhausted while your kook buddy paddle out and never got his hair wet, that is OB lol. Beautiful footage and dedication, thank you for sharing. Now I want a Tres Amigo's Burrito!

I'm that kook. 60 year old here. I lived on 8th and Fulton 35 years ago. After taking an hour to get outside, I never had the strength to do anything but go over the falls a few times, then head back in. I switched to boogie boarding. Regardless, the burritos afterward were the best tasting thing ever.

I lived on 48th ave and Judah 2 blocks from Ocean Beach in 1987 - 1991. I could see the waves from my living room and I had a roof deck and you could even see the sand. I saw many days with waves that good but often by the time you paddled out the conditions would change drastically. Wind or fog and it was really hard to keep from drifting south. A couple times when I didn’t bother to keep from drifting, I would end up a mile or more down the beach by the time I got out. It is one of the hardest places to paddle out anywhere. But in those days in front of my house I surfed alone most of the time. It could be scary out there all by yourself. I surfed many days as good as it got, alone. Often it was to big to go out. I remember one stormy day, it was the biggest I ever saw it or anywhere else by far. One wave continuously broke all the way from the outer reef (about a mile out) to the shore. It must have been a hundred feet high.

When it was big Huntington Beach Cliffs had a very strong current, we would put in near the pier so we could ride a wave or two.
@jasonjackson56968 ай бұрын
I was wondering if somebody was going to mention Huntington Beach cliffs. I used to surf it, and the very first time, like an idiot, I tried to stay in one spot. It didn’t take long for me to figure out I was wasting energy so, I let the drift take me, and then I would take the long walk back😂😂😂
@Moondoggy19418 ай бұрын
@@jasonjackson5696 They had a Surfing Contest at the cliffs and all the competitors had drifted outside their boundary and I was the only one within their boundary, I guess you can say I won that day. Every Kook has his day.

The best book about surfing I've read is, 'Barbarian Days: A Surfing Life,' by William Finnegan'. He was a staff writer for the New Yorker. He writes about many surf spots he surfed and has several pages on his days surfing Ocean Beach. They are the most intense pages in the book since big Ocean Beach is often really hard to paddle out and really hard to stay positioned with the currents. A fantastic read.

I surfed there in the 90's. It's the toughest riptide I ever dealt with, sometimes where I paddled out and where I came back in would be over a mile apart. Only the best and most experienced are able to surf Ocean Beach. The guys on this video make it look easy but surfing Ocean Beach is anything but easy.
