Surfing Steamer Lane Storm Swell - Dec 28th - Santa Cruz CA - Big Waves

[@ttank7241]

At 2:45, that is where you sit to get the long walls at the lane. The big peaks are pretty but also pretty mushy.

[@billfletcher5495]

Looks like a day at San Onofre, just a few less people.

[@lemonjellosmith4462]

It’s not that crowded but there are way to many guys not getting out of the way. I’ll take a crowded San O any day.

[@kevinm5564]

This looks like a blast! In Florida we get 52° water and thigh high waves.

[@jefesalsero]

A recent Ben Gravy video showed Overhead conditions in the Melbourne/Cocoa Beach area.

Reef Road (Palm Beach…72 degree water and double overheard albeit rare).

[@kevinm5564]

@@ApriliaRacer14 You're right. it does happen. I've headed down to south florida numerous times in the winter to score warm water reef breaks when the wind is side onshore in Jax and the water is hovering around 50° and the elephants on the horizon are marching southward.

[@JIMJAMSC]

Ahhhh... Just wet my head, pour some salt in my mouth, close my eyes and just listen to the obscenities and yells of kook and grom... Its like I was there hahah...

Strange we haven't heard a peep about Mavericks going off during this giant swell.

[@francus7227]

The algorithm failed. I watched one clip of Mavericks and this popped up.

Same,,,

@@maattttt07 It doesn't know the difference between kook and Kong (Gary Elkerton).

[@dannynysus]

You should get your money back Oh, wait... 🍆

[@charliedillon1400]

Maybe because these kooks are out in five foot surf on their Mavericks style guns.

[@francus7227]

@@charliedillon1400 I didn't think of that.... Algorithm and you are smarter than I.

[@artieborko4988]

Lots of 9ft guns- what’s up with all the furniture out there? I’d reckon a mid length would suffice and be a lot more fun.

[@dannynysus]

@@ba1428 😭

[@charliedillon1400]

I think a regular 9ft long board would be awesome out there but I agree these dudes are struggling to turn these pointy gun shapes in this relatively mushy surf.

[@DakkaSkintabII]

Where's a good Great White when you need one?

[@arnhaldhalvorsen7223]

Surfs up in Santa Carla!! 😉🤙

[@jonathonrios9196]

I used to live in Aptos

[@tonybeatbutcher]

That's absolute not a shortboardwave, u need a glider or longboard to surf that wave. In French Basque Country u have the same kind of wave (sometimes bigger, more power) and everybody rides bigger boards on it.

[@charliedillon1400]

Longboard wave for sure. Not sure why nobody is out on one.

[@tonybeatbutcher]

@@charliedillon1400 yeah, maybe it's also the footage, looks like a fun longboard preforming peak.

[@rollins2922]

Pope was curious, is surfing a religion?

[@stevensmith1718]

Super fat waves

[@artieborko4988]

Holy sh...what in the barn door is happening at 1:31.... 🤦🏻‍♂️

Going switch stance.

guy at 2:27 shouldn't be out in the water at all

[@inkoso]

@@mikeauxbig no, just someone who’s been out on big steamer days and has had enough idiots like this guy cause safety problems for everyone else.
