[@cocgstho681]

The only good Chanel that talks about where I love to surf

[@BradJacobson]

It can get good when the swell direction is right!

[@vickryan]

Toward end of swell, i think it was WED/THU i checked the regular beachbreak (elporto) and guys were charging. You'd think just closeouts, but no, some corners to be had. Glassy and big, just gotta pick your corner, and you score. Much respect to anyone who can endure out there long enough, to pick off a good one. #LAonfire

[@goodoldauger3684]

Caught some of the best waves of life this swell, been waiting for something like this for months.

Stoked to have great waves!

[@longrider42]

I learned to surf back in 84 at Huntington beach. I ended up on a ten foot tanker board and loved it. One day the guy who taught me asked if I wanted to go to the Wedge, I hesitated, but in the end, went. Using a boogie board I rode three waves and survived. The waves break in very shallow water, and you can get pile driven into the sand. My friend rode 7 or 8 and he did okay, but boy was he battered and bruised by the end of the day. Watching this video makes me long for the summer of 84. I think I will watch "The Endless Summer" now :)

[@spelldeck]

La has some weird Times for waves.Nice waves decent surfers and a bunch of Kooks sounds like La surfing. Nice video Brad caught awsome set with friends, best dayz to surf.

[@BradJacobson]

It was a close call but he was fine.

[@just1voice994]

@@BradJacobson thanks for the quick reply or a reply even at that. It’s nice to see people take a little time in their busy Schedules to answer some questions and I’m not being sarcastic I know how much time it takes to film and edit, so as a gift back to you I have an idea it’s not very unique at all and I am sure you already thought of it so I am just here to add a little catalyst to your program. Here goes how about a film showing some incredible wipeouts but with the extra footage of how they survive afterwards. For example the guy that ate it in front or ontop of the rocks or jetty, how about show him after he pops up gasping for air and showing his position throughout the chaos. Just a thought my friend I would be very interested in that. Hope your not getting to much grief from some of the lower intellects in our sport. Peace BJ

Used to surf check PV and South Bay almost every Saturday morning back in the 80s. Never saw it like that. Then again, we had to get swell information from a weather radio back then. Great video and narration. The second song flows nicely, like surfing should be; rather than the jerky, 'how many times can I smack the lip' nonsense.

Brad do you mind talking about what equipment you use to record with? I would really appreciate knowing and others might also. If you do not want to talk about it, I can understand.

@@BradJacobson Brad all I can say is holy crap!!! I don't even understand the 1DXM2, I just admire it. Wow, a 400mm 2.8 prime. I bet you put the whole thing together for under a $1000 (LOL). I don't understand how you view. Maybe there is a monitor on the right hand side that I can't see. What a setup. You might want to think about doing a video on your setup.

Yo Brad I think your videos must be getting better because this is like the second or third one I’ve seen this week you must have somebody doing some kind of optimization stuff going on over there, the ad $ is paying off.I was going to say something about the music at the beginning but it actually got a little bit better at the end there keep up the good work those videos will hopefully keep some surfers out of our spots and more down in the ones you filmed, boy I bet your peers love talking shit to you. You know what I just remembered I think your last video was very shaky and I commented on it. I’m glad I did because you did a much better job this time. See ya bud
