Why I love Surfing the Washout Folly Beach 4k | Charleston, SC | Panasonic GH5

Thanks for tuning into another one guys! Super happy to get some surf with the fam and friends, always grateful to do things i love with the people i love. If you're new to the channel welcome! Grab a subscribe! I'm trying to grow this channel to 1000 subscribers before June! If you liked what you saw smash that like button. It helps me grow (more than you know) as a channel here on youtube. That goes without saying please comment any feedback or suggestions for videos in the future involving boards, rods, and cameras.
Filmed 3/20-3/21. Small run of E/SE groundswell measuring 4-5' wave-height @ 8 second intervals. A light offshore wind, an incoming tide, combined with this swell made for some fun walls last week averaging around chest to overhead sets.
The camera is a Panasonic Mirrorless GH5 running a Lumix (14-140mm) and a Lumix Vlog lens 7-14mm. Both performed outstanding on this first shoot. The entire body of this Camera is also weather sealed which for my channel will be Perfecto. Very happy with the interface and menus and really looking forward to putting out some top their videos in the near future. And per usual I use my normal Gopro hero 4 and 5 black editions.
The Board I ride is a 5'4" custom Epoxy Longtoe Mini-simmons with a quad fin setup. FCS finboxes running FCS' Split keels (so much love for those fins) They could also cut the skin off your teeth they're so sharp.
Stay tuned. With spring and summer around the corner I always get stoked to put the wetsuits away and enjoy some warm water. Waiting for the right swell to head north to OBX or south to FL to catch some surf and get away for a few days. I'm toying with some ideas of surfing container ship wakes at the Charleston Jetty, just sayin.

Moving to Charleston in two weeks. Thanks for the video!

Yooo my guy I live 10 mins from washout that’s sick ✊

Right on lol me too🤙🏼

[@bmmdye]

Another great video, Son. You are so talented and cool .🏄🤟💙

[@FishandsurfChs]

Thanks Mom ❤️🤘🏻

[@crxstalyt7636]

I’m really trying to get out and find new surf spots this summer, is folly a good place to start out with a longboard or should I use a fish shape?

[@FishandsurfChs]

Folly is great but the washout from 13-16th is NOT A GOOD PLACE TO LEARN. You will be surfing with proficient riders while trying to navigate a new sport. Try any other place on folly. IOP and surrounding islands have less crowded breaks to learn without getting overtaken on peaks.

[@johnmounce8341]

I'm down in Beaufort and love to fish. This video makes me want to learn how to surf

[@FishandsurfChs]

get on it man!

[@johnmounce8341]

@@FishandsurfChs do you think lessons are worth it or should I just get a board and teach myself?

[@hunterjackman4634]

Super sick video. Moving to Charleston in April 2023 and coming from my native San Diego CA. Super stoked on the surf!

[@FishandsurfChs]

Yewwwwww

[@tuco_climbs3168]

Sick dude, question do you ever worry about sharks and have you ever seen a shark while surfing folly beach, I’m going surfing there and just wanna know if I should be worried

[@FishandsurfChs]

Plenty of sharks everywhere man. When you get in the water you consent to this

[@SteezyB93]

This is sick! Great edit man! I surf the washout all the time!

[@FishandsurfChs]

Blake Abraham bro lets shred! Im out all the time

[@mikedovell3339]

What time of year was this?

[@FishandsurfChs]

Fall

[@valerie4116]

I was born and raised there. I usually go to the Isle of Palms or park at the Battery! I miss home. I'm living in Asheville, NC now.

[@FishandsurfChs]

Never too late for a visit ! Cheers follow along the Charleston adventure!

[@MatthewWagnerFilms]

Nice! I feel the same tension here in NC. (southern banks) I'm thankful for fishing for those times with no swell! Great video and channel bro. Keep it up!

[@FishandsurfChs]

Thanks man! The tension makes energy ! Stay tuned for some good stuff 🔥🤘🏻

[@slimkid28]

Cool video. If you could let me know, Is your board shape odd or maybe functional in a new way?

[@FishandsurfChs]

Mini Simmons is not a new shape by any means. In every sense of the word it is odd but it performs in a way that is different from conventional short boards. Wider, less rocker, easier to paddle and plane but harder to whip around and turn.

[@brigidoconnor9623]

Moving to Hilton head and trying to see if the waves are even big enough to get into surfing there and learn

[@FishandsurfChs]

There are waves that’s for sure

[@ShiftDawgie]

Would absolutely love to visit SC, sending love from the UK x x x

[@FishandsurfChs]

Cmon over sometime! Stay safe over there 🤘🏻🔥

[@ShiftDawgie]

@@FishandsurfChs Cheers bru! You too my brother, it's such a shame because we have 3-4ft offshores all week. Safety first though bruuu

[@boldspeedycat1661]

Fishing & Surfing Charleston, SC it’s so funny watching this video bcs i know all the spots I were at the during the vid (I live on folly)

[@barbarajansen4912]

I’m from Massachusetts and I go to Narragansett Beach in RI for surf kayaking and boogie boarding. This looks a little rough here. Our waves are smooth and they rise but they don’t crash. This might be a little too much for me unless there is a calmer day.

[@FishandsurfChs]

This is definitely a little much for surf kayaking. But folly on average is a much harder breaking wave much more suited for confident surfers (relative to Charleston’s surf)

[@jeremyquinlan336]

Just moved to Charleston about 2 months ago from Palm Beach, FL. Been to IOP a few times but haven’t witnessed anything but flatwater, this videos giving me motivation to check out Folly this weekend

[@FishandsurfChs]

lots of good breaks around here! keep an eye on the buoys and have a blast

[@matthewperkins288]

i dig that board...

[@FishandsurfChs]

Thanks man!

[@jamespryor5371]

I am at the washout and got here today surf 🏄🏻

[@mariadelsolb8163]

Looking forward to move to SC, will continue watching your videos, thanks

[@FishandsurfChs]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@xisotopex]

how consistent is it for yall? many times I check the folly cam and it looks comparable to here. stranger still is sometimes it looks pretty good, but there is no one out, at least no one in view of the cam... other times it looks like c-rap and lots of people out. maybe some surf zones or something sometimes? worst of all, is when it looks real good on the cam, but its no good here ha ha.

[@FishandsurfChs]

Lotta kooks in Charleston have no idea how to forecast swell maybe? Idk it’s a very consistent spot. Where are you? Maybe you’re checking the cam at the wrong times 🤷🏼‍♂️

[@xisotopex]

@@FishandsurfChs I always check all the cams everywhere in the world ha ha when I am bored or when its flat here.... I check sometimes just to contrast and compare with my spot.

[@FishandsurfChs]

Haha me too. The addiction is real!

[@iamcrackedatsoccer8490]

I am at a. Beach house out there right now

[@FishandsurfChs]

niceee

[@iamcrackedatsoccer8490]

I actually got jump scared because a shark literally came up near me an f almost got me

[@FishandsurfChs]

Shark season for sure p

[@maybachyard]

Sick little spot!! Where does swells in S. Carolina generate from? Is it from the giant north/south Atlantic storms near the jet streams pushing them in like we get them here in Hawai'i? Or is it closer range situations like tradewind swells, tropical storms and hurricanes?

[@FishandsurfChs]

Definetly Atlantic storms produces quality surf but some wind swell or any refraction swell is still a good time

[@FishandsurfChs]

Rock on my dude thanks for watching!

[@tysonrinker5958]

Dumping beach breaks is probably the best thing ever

[@FishandsurfChs]

You ain’t wronghgggg🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻

[@upstatecre8]

I was encouraged to see some long boarding. Would you say longboarders have a lot of options?

[@FishandsurfChs]

Long boarding is awesome! Options for what??

[@upstatecre8]

@@FishandsurfChs well sometimes you need a nice crumbling wave vs a wave that pitches over (short board). Would you say South Carolina has a lot of waves for the longboarder?

[@FishandsurfChs]

Yes I would! But every beach is different everywhere. Long boarding spots are plentiful here.

[@upstatecre8]

@@FishandsurfChs Thanks a lot!

[@FishingWithBIGD]

some beautiful footage man , the waves looked awesome Charleston is a beautiful place

[@FishandsurfChs]

Thanks D

[@boldspeedycat1661]

Oh trust me it is I go to washout like 3 times a week

[@cdidanhal3322]

Can you do body surfing here or just surfing ?

[@FishandsurfChs]

No body surfing at the washout. This is an area reserved for surfing. Bodysurf at your own risk here and risk hitting jetties or run ins with locals 🤙🏼

[@cashlevesqie5886]

I live in mount Pleasant and surf there all the time

Great video! Thanks for the info. Born and raised in SC and grew up surfing the grand strand. Now living in South Florida. Gotta get back up that way and surf the legendary Washout. I always heard stories as a kid!

Thanks for the subscribe Weasel! I lived in Stuart, Florida for a while but moved back home because I missed it too much! Happy shredding !

[@porkfied]

@@FishandsurfChs Did you ever go to the Pumphouse or Sebastion inlet for surfing?

[@FishandsurfChs]

@@porkfied both on a regular basis. Sebastian we went for skimming and surfing and pump house for surfing was awesome. I stilll take trips down to Florida when the waves turn on

[@porkfied]

@@FishandsurfChs Thanks for your reply,I looked on the internet it seems its hard to find a place to park at the pumphouse and you might have to walk,I would like to check it out sometime.I have a paddleboard to go on the ocean,but I still want to try to get into surfing and skimming sometime.I am up there in age but I dont care,I have skateboards too,lol.

How's folly beach?

[@FishandsurfChs]

It’s dope

[@boldspeedycat1661]

Amazing I love it here

[@anonymousnoone918]

That's cool

[@AdamC4]

During a typical month, how many surf days would you guess there are? I'm up in Rhode Island where we probably get only 6-8 a month. Definitely looking into moving to SC in the next couple years, ad the swells at the beach are important to me for sure.

[@FishandsurfChs]

I would say similar depending on level of riding. Longboard/short board/etc if you skim, way more days

[@AdamC4]

Fishing & Surfing Charleston, SC that’s appreciated! I longboard and love to skim, but the beaches in RI have no slope to them really so always terrible for skimming.

[@eatlaughandstupid4430]

heck yeah...I feel the stokeness...tiny for CA but surfable...having fun...
