[@mikemccourt6225]

A buddy of mine once said, "unless you really enjoy paddling, I'd skip the first two waves of any set at Ocean Beach if I were you."

[@adrianwoods7720]

I will never forget Dec 30th, 1989 at Ocean Beach. Super easy paddle out that resembled a calm, glassy lake in between sets and these big 6 - 10 ft swelss that looked like bumps that came out of the west and turned into A frame barrels.

[@burtbenz9964]

I used my 12 ft gun in hb. But I need a 13 for o b o mg

[@richardpeterson8117]

[@NorCalSurfer]

Hell ya pulling in for the glory!

[@5StarAlcatraz]

Much respect to OB 🏄🏾‍♂️

[@chrisnizer5702]

Always amazed that a beach-break can hold such a massive swell without turning into a close out fest. Thanks for sharing your waves with us my friend, Semper Fidelis!

[@canisamator7937]

Those are some scary waves! I got sucked under when I was 7yrs old & that ocean yanked me out of my dad's grip. I've never forgotten the force & power. If the water reaches my knees, I get scared & run back onto the beach! Haha! Love watching the surfers- awesome video!

[@NorCalSurfer]

Yikes!

[@rabidwookie606]

Wow, watched this for a while thinking it was pipeline. The nuts on these guys!

[@NorCalSurfer]

Cold water sand bottom pipe!

[@estellepatella2520]

I lived out there for twenty years. I loved watching the surfers.

[@NorCalSurfer]

Makes two of us!

[@burtbenz9964]

[@briansurfer8625]

I’d be less scared to paddle out at Pipeline than this place. Lol

[@NorCalSurfer]

Haha!

[@xisotopex]

exactly.

[@bradleytanita8855]

Dude huge respect out to the guys out there that day freezing water massive swell and zero clean rip to Cruze out on. I got out and paddled back in when it was 10 feet and barreling imagine the size of the pure balz on those guys

[@NorCalSurfer]

[@seversonwes]

[@nathanladd125]

Felt a little undergunned on my 8'3 this day! Period was 19 seconds and the swells were thick and moving very fast. Went home and ordered a 9'0!

[@NorCalSurfer]

[@DH-wr7rw]

I can see that this place is good when it's big. How about when it's small? Any fun small days here or big wave spot only?

[@nobiclarke]

Check out other vids on this channel he has good footage of smaller days

[@craigflare9758]

Yesterday was like peeling shoulder high barrels

[@weareyouthere]

Often blown out with onshores...Fall and Winter are good

[@joedirt8625]

@40Seconds........ Charging.

[@joninsco861]

Find the peak you want to Surf . Take a 150 yard walk , North. Then focus and head out. Straight out and The current will take You there . The Rip tide Is like no other surf spot. Cold Powerful Walls of wave. This day. There were barrels. A demanding Un crowded session. Serious Surf. Insco SFCA .

[@NorCalSurfer]

Haha

[@stevemcelvaney5534]

I don't know how they could take off on close-outs after the tough paddle out

[@singlewidetrailer]

Lol i wonder if dude at :50 got called out or left out of embarrassment. You just dont do that in that kind of surf 😒

[@benlucchese7375]

That made me incredibly upset

[@merylcraig]

jobs kamila just nominated you 4 vice prez.question. can i stay in your house till i get on my feet .

[@djflarethecreator9261]

SSF in the house!!! Hey Ocean Beach is no joke! You have to be a very experienced surfer and strong swimmer to mess with this break! You always hear of some poor guy girl or kid who's drowned playing in this surf. The undertow is severe. Use extreme caution when surfing this spot! Hang 10!!!

[@toddhendricks1727]

Believe it or not this is where I learned to surf. My mom worked at the VA and would drop me off a Kelly’s Cove before her 12 hour shift. I got nothing but beatings in the water for a year. Back then it was less developed and homeless guys would have campfires on the beach and no one was around. Talking 1978.

[@burtbenz9964]

Stoked ventura. 78. Primitive rustic wild moved there from o c hell yea

[@surfsquatch5]

Kinda looked like puerto Escondido this day

[@NorCalSurfer]

Cold water cousin

[@TonyMontana-vo8nd]

Bunch of Hellmen!!

[@NorCalSurfer]

Hell ya!!

[@nickc3856]

The scariest part about this place is the ridiculous paddle out. No thank you. I hate that feeling of finally making it out to the lineup and your arms are already too tired to even stroke into a wave

[@surfsquatch5]

Anyone who even tried to make the paddle on this day has my respect. I took 1 look and said no way in hell

[@justink7269]

You need a paddle machine, ob surfers roll a big pinned out 8+ ft board that paddles 10x like a regular board, and can knife through a big whitewash (no duckdive, you just hit it face on at full speed) and then it's just a hard paddle for 15 minutes but if you dont give up you'll make it... usually. My daily board there was at least a 6'10 and I'm from Santa cruz and down there guys surf 6ft boards but you barely get your hair wet paddling out to most spots

[@surfsquatch5]

@@justink7269 omg dam. No duck dive

[@Addanter]

not enough wipe outs show us the wipeouts!!!!

[@calfolk7381]

One dude was getting towed in, not something you expect to see in California

[@NorCalSurfer]

True and especially at ocean beach

[@merylcraig]

corey lopez

[@xisotopex]

whats the average time to paddle out on a day like this? 6 minutes? just hop in the channel and let the rip get you out?

[@nickc3856]

what channel? lol

[@jcrouse26]

Lol

[@MrLeeson660]

6 minutes? what on a jetski? haha I reckon even the top guys battle for 20+ mins easily to get out. you can just tell how heavy it is and just no easy way out

[@benlucchese7375]

6 minutes would be a miraculous paddle out. It can take ten minutes on a chest high day sometimes.

[@xisotopex]

cheating! I see a ski!

[@NorCalSurfer]

Haha yea first for me there I've never seen tow attempts at OB
