Dude! WTF's wrong wit you? I mean - you nailed it. I'm speechless. I mean how did you do it - make a surfing film without destroying the soul of surfing? You hit it right on. Not many can do that. Shame on you Dude. Hang Ten Brudda. Hang Ten. Surf on Brudda. Forever. And Forever... And Forever...

[@SeanLKearns]

+moby dick Its the lack of narration, everbody thinks they're bruce brown now a days.

[@Rhizzoned]

Nailed it with a spike... I just leave this playing in the background

[@icarosantos4420]

Não sei o que vc disse

[@luccast.george1499]

nai eu

[@luccast.george1499]

theyre barrels suck tho

[@Sutiki]

loved that scene at 8:55 where they both doing the same move at the same time just on different waves

[@Arvydas_M]

Have dreamt about surfing for so many years... This video was the last drop. This year bought a board and caught my first Baltic sea waves. What can I say, it's fucking harder than it looks.

[@Real.Australia]

This is one of my all time favrioute surf movies . the music, the waves, the feeling like i was watching from the beach

[@MargaretSpintz]

I love watching regular guys rip on regular waves. far too much online content today is based around watching pros surf pipe etc. who wants to watch that?

[@seablue2161]

Margaret Fierce average? those waves are perfectly running down the reef dude.

[@croftcl74]

Margaret Fierce I do

[@nutgrab2fakie]

I want to watch pros, I see a lot of regular surfing in the beach already

[@lshanw]

thank you

[@ultimateguitarscratcher503]

Yeah we can just watch on the wsl page

[@geoffgelectric]

Love that you saved the best spot for last

[@conprob1]

And the “Best Surf Film Award” goes to this guy.

[@desertrog1]

Rincon, yeah, so awesome. Once my buddy Bob Bowditch and myself at Rincon in the morning goofing around in 2 ft swells. No one there but us. Like magic, 4-6 ft lines just start cranking in. We had the whole place to ourselves for 2 hours before the word got out. Your film was beautifully done - love the stunning photography - great mix of tempo, great music! Bravo!

[@dave9351]

Glad I caught this 8 years later ! Well done with perfect soundtrack, great slow-mo and a few folks at the Con that show a little respect and don't snake someone down the line. Big Shout Out from Carp Hypnotic.....

[@jakxlht]

Anyone notice the bird getting annihilated at 4:25 .....

[@survivalschool1018]

Haha 😂 nose dive !

[@taradarbyshire8914]

Jack Latham is good

[@rudyaguilar5690]

Jack Latham

[@KEVING1TIME]

HAHAHAHAHA HILARIOUS FIND! Good eye!

[@razravid123]

hahahaha poor bird

[@ejectoraircoasters222]

Wow, if only Cali surf spots broke like this more than once every other year. Still mad props to you. This is the first time I've seen a surf film that doesn't take out all the soul of surfing!

[@nbjansen8255]

Great mojo to this movie mate ...reminds me of why I started surfing in South Africa in the 60's and why I gave up on it in Australia some 45 years later. Good job!!

[@thomaspenny8861]

This looks like the greatest regular footing point break ever!

[@jdoogy5942]

Bc it is,the queen provides

[@Hollywood101283]

@5:33 Guy gets a triple drop in, snaps five turns, throwing buckets! third turn was critical board control, Yooooooooooouuu!

[@clarkewi]

Rincon is so classic. I remember seeing it for the first time in 1963 with all the cars parked along the seawall. I knew I'd seen heavan.

[@afveteran]

I learned longboarding at Santa Cruz, 1966-1968. My 1st board was a Gordon & Smith, a couple of pop outs. It was fun. As kid my parents drove along Hwy 1 pass Malibu. I got stoked seeing people surf. The old thought this was BS. He was a bit of a hard nose guy. Didn't want his kid trying new things. Did you every try County LIne?

[@ptouge]

I was a surfer in the 70s and a documentary filmmaker for national TV the rest of the time. This is the best surf film I have seen really ! It captures the mood of slowness that is also surf as on a wave time is stretched and it is not always as brutal as most surf film tend to be. I guess it has to do with some macho instinct to show how dangerous it can be. I remember when I first saw big waves in El Salvador and my friend Bruno told me “you know what when you are at the top it’s not that steep” That is when time stretch...

[@WhiteNacho]

Absolutley one of the top 5 surf vids on KZbin. Soundtrack is stellar! A Ventura Local.

[@robmiller4370]

Just got back from Oxnard, got some head high sets, was really good. Great video!!

[@RustyShackelford1554]

@4:26 duck doing an actual crazy "duck dive." Gotta give him a duck five.

[@markthomson7478]

Very Beautiful movie Jeff!! CONGRATULATIONS!! Wholly California--(The Essence of it all.) i TRAVEL UP THERE TO VISIT & SURF WITH MATES EVERY 2 YEARS AND--YOU'VE GOT IT ALL HERE!! Aloha and GOD Bless fro "Downunder" here in Beautiful New Zealand. Mark.

[@mikegarrett861]

Many awsome days at the Con in the 70's - 80's........!

[@kaylakelley758]

The guy in the slow motion shot 3:50 is crazy good! Good film!

[@sagetaub9531]

Yeeewww, just surfed Ventura point for the first time today, definitely the best 3footers I've seen.

[@danielschaeffer1294]

I'm a geezer living in St. Louis, I used to play blues for money, and that Gary Clark version of "Catfish" brought it all back.

[@bradyloe8356]

I like the shots of the city

[@MarcellodeSales]

Wow, it has been a long while since I watched an entire surfing video... All the way till the end... Amazing combo of images and music... You are an artist!

[@mozdickson]

best footage I've seen in a while

[@cozzyinternet4706]

the spin @ 5:32 !!

[@brodiwheeler7583]

Sick Shot @4:20 that Cormorant eats it right into the impact zone! 🌊💥🦅

[@artbyscars]

Nice work, I enjoyed this a lot. So nice to just see good surf, good filming/editing, and good surfing and not hearing someone talk about how earthly they are because of it. A+

[@NaNa-wj8tw]

What a beautifully human story. Superb film making sir.

[@jimforsythe3129]

Jeff liked how you show that almost no wave goes unridden on the point breaks where you've let three rides show at once instead of just zooming real far in. Nice soundtrack too

[@darrenpai1279]

5:32 was chefs kisss

[@Rhizzoned]

Perfection, song and surf flow starting @ 7:31.... droool

[@tristenvukelich5280]

i've lost track how many times i've seen this

[@deepbludude4697]

Outstanding upload! regular dudes ripping it in insanely crowded surf.

[@krumbzii6629]

This is in my recommended every day

[@georgeodell-tyson364]

Geez there needs to be more surf vids at 60fps, makes it look so majestic!!

[@dvd90277]

Pacific Dreams is fantastic! A production. And the music, oh my God! Thank you.

[@SurfRinseRepeat]

Glad you like it!

[@DriftHouse]

Such a classic film, love this!!!

[@ToesOverKauai]

🏄🏼‍♂️. Brilliant! One of the best short hometown surf flicks on UTube! Well done! Aloha🌈🌴 Kauai

[@snookyjoutdoors4571]

Good stuff dude, dreamy waves that really make me wanna surf right now!!!!!

[@SurfRinseRepeat]

You and me both!

[@jasonrosen1123]

rincon has some of the best surf in california. great job

[@ElectricBubble]

That was total madness, I loved every bit of that!

[@aaronvanrensburgcom]

I thoroughly enjoyed that, it was so rad

[@wmoon89]

@4:18 yup that's California alright

[@alljustice3686]

Dude yelled, "party wave". Still got it though.

[@reflexteam8288]

It also called "dushbags beach" where 3 surfers ride the same wave without respecting that one that owns it and risking each other

[@redbug3485]

Surfing and Salt Life teaches Respect for the World we live in. Mother Nature provides!

[@HBSKATE]

The second song was fucking perfect, and went perfectly with the way everything was being shot. Awesome vid man.

[@jagz926]

outstanding work. really enjoyed this. thanks for sharing

[@DJMelRockwell]

😍🌊 & I Love the Music

[@jaredwilson4922]

The is the best, raw content I've seen. I wish these spots would break more often ha

[@anthonybarrow1142]

Wow . Soul surfing. I grew up in Hermosa Beach on 2nd st we all were soul surfers that was back in the 60's AND 70s. YOU HAD people like Mike Danune, Bill Schulz Tony Malanowitz and many others that were some of the greatest surfers I've ever seen . Look at Redondo break wall in 69 people you never heard of.

[@marcosgea5708]

Thank you very much for editing this video, I loved it. Good pictures and music a 10.

[@MsRobinSurf]

My love for Rincon is only over-shadowed by the hatred for snakes.

[@1974mazdarx3sedan]

+MsRobinSurf it's nuts, isn't it? note the crowd change when it gets slightly bigger.

[@redrover3259]

must be very difficult as a woman

[@chiprohlke]

Nice shots. I lived in California in the mid 70's and early 80's and it was great. Glad I had the experience. Went back to San Diego a couple weeks ago and it was fun but I'd never live there. Like I tell people.. there are beautiful places in California and the weather can be nice- but it's full of (spiritual) snakes!

[@Mark-gi1cv]

Just curious, what didn't you like about san diego? thanks!

[@jbaquinones]

My gosh. I miss the ocean so much. I built a mini ramp in my basement to skate to at least feel like its a wave. Great footage. Thanks for posting.

[@MrSkaterforlife98]

This is beautiful. This is art.

[@mathewnunn1865]

This is exactly what it's all about. Beautiful

[@chrisjohnson8779]

Great music creates the mellow feel, 5 minutes was enough of the surf but the sounds kept me. These are all places that I hung from the late 60's through the 90's, it finally got too crowded. There are great spots in Baja, CA that I like now, like turning back the clock. Born and still live in So. CA but head South of the border for a couple weeks every couple months for beach time. Thanks for not showing the finger birds in the water or boards parting hair. Also for the memories and the sounds, great job!

[@ezvibe8310]

The first time i saw Kelly Slater surf Rincon, I didn't recognize him. All I could blurt out was...."that guy is a ninja!" (with a southern drawl). The locals had a good laugh and then they informed me who it was. Nice footage btw!

[@zekezero12345]

Evocative and inspirational. Thanks :)

[@davidgibson8886]

MEGA congrats from Texas!!! excellent surf vid!!!!!!!

[@kembooo000]

the duck @ 4:25

[@magorkel1746]

+kembooo000 awesome kook collision.

[@SandDabs]

+magorkel That poor duck or cormorant or whatever was right in the middle of those barneys too. lol good catch +kembooo000

[@liranziv]

+kembooo000 i thought you ment the duck dive and then i realized what i was missing

[@tubethis777]

+kembooo000 that was the best duck dive I've ever seen in surfing

[@tomwdanger]

+kembooo000 Ha!

[@global_zoo]

Beautiful Footage!

[@virvisquevir3320]

Cool. Cool scenery. Cool music.

[@Scrappycat1966]

Land locked in Arizona!!!! I miss you brah's!!!! What can i say other than,,,,,,, THANK YOU X100000000000000000000000000000000!!!!

[@gnahum3670]

Amazing clips. Good music 10\10

[@philippeg1143]

Nice vid...thx Jeff. Good soundtracks too.

[@josephbrown9686]

AMAZING FOOTAGE!

[@sivahnslifestyle982]

Nice film amazing 😉 I'm a surfer I'm 12 I surf with my dad

[@alancharlesworth5636]

I taught myself to surf at 12, I'm now 67 and still going strong it's great that you surf with your dad, my dad hated the sea. The water is freezing in the UK at the moment.👍

[@HoStevie]

Really good stuff Jeff!

[@fpressel]

Mesmerizing

[@silvercn8337]

beautiful. good job!

[@webAtmosphereJourney]

Is wonderful , good ocean and good waves. All right is motivation on motion, nice video.

[@diegolacerdaITF]

Love it!!

[@marianoricoy1511]

I love this film

[@DeepMeditation-mh7je]

Lovely movie

[@nelsonferreira4378]

i dream with surf days like this ... less crowd would be ok...

[@HoStevie]

+Nelson Ferreira definitely could use less crowd!

[@robmiller4370]

Love watching the swell get bigger... Awesome!!!!

[@cozzyinternet4706]

2:20 - - 2:40 - - funny moments! when someone wants to catch a wave, someone else is already on it......hahahaah

[@jube9051]

Best video I watched since a while... most of the surfing video miss that macro angle, revealing the quality of the wave and the atmosphere on the spot !

[@adamconnellymusic]

Great footage man!

[@mattbgraves]

I'm pretty sure that the left point break is actually the right point break that is throughout the film. He most likely just flipped the video in his editing software.

[@facundopereiro5883]

Dane is the man!

[@dalenason1565]

mesmerising, very nice

[@valle.k.7180]

Good stuff, keep it up

[@roadrunnermakmak]

15:00 nice backwash, cool vid, respect!

[@RedpillPortugal]

great footage epic editing

[@seektruth8662]

This is Beautiful

[@holisticstrengthcoach1441]

super dope.

[@jon-markrivero787]

great stuff!!!

[@bethnolan4025]

This is a really good film tbh

[@YourNextTravel]

Great surf edit, and film!

[@bonniewirth3662]

Love this~gotta love them pelicans!

[@board-beard-beer888]

Awesome!

[@noqtonorth]

really sick vid

[@ronduenyc76]

looks so peaceful with long boards out with short ones, and a few bodybody boards too, like me, but its all peaceful..

[@thecoastalinhabitant9552]

Coming to the east coast would be surfer suicide if you were coming from the west. I see surf like that in the SOBX maybe a few times a year and you gotta be on it. Break plans with your gf, call into work, etc. Do whatever you gotta do to get in the water. We do have plenty of uncrowded breaks though ;)

[@mikesuzio2566]

obx///avon n Buxton is decent surf so is new Jersey Massachusetts and sometimes central Florida south Carolina
