An attempt to share my passion for surfing with the world.
Chaotic Tropical Swell in Orange County — August 9th, 2024
This spot is the gem of Orange County, as seen during Hurricane Marie back in 2014. I can understand why it’s such a spectacle. The potential to see waves this size and shape are limited in Southern California, and it’s well-known when conditions align.
It kind of reminds me of a swell in South Beach, Miami where you have hoards of kooks, but you also have legit locals, and world-class surfers chasing the wave of their year, or simply IG/TikTok/Surfline fame.
It doesn’t break frequently enough to establish any kind of order in the lineup. At a certain point, the crowd implodes on itself, diminishing the chances of someone riding a perfect wave to its full potential.
You can look back decades ago and see the best spots/days packed with people, but with better swell forecasting and the basic reality of surfing becoming more popular worldwide, it’s only going to get more hectic into the future.
I was on the fence if I should even upload this one. The make ratio was low and it was not a classic day by historical standards, but for this summer it’s probably the most memorable we’ve had so far. Some hilarious wipeouts and overall, some entertaining moments.

Under the Radar North Shore Super Session with John John Florence

I’ve been compiling timelines like this forever and doing nothing with them, besides maybe sharing with a few surfers who were out that day. I promise not to spam you with 3-foot Cardiff clips on the regular, but instead of hoarding the footage on Dropbox for eternity, I think it makes sense to put out some memorable sessions to the world, so people can enjoy. This was shot on January 5th, 2022...
Historic Day of Surfing in San Diego - December 29, 2023
Переглядів 555 тис.9 місяців тому
Friday, December 29, 2023 I’m pretty dang happy right now. Today was by far the best session I’ve ever witnessed in San Diego. As you will see, it’s not the most organized or easy wave to read, but the potential for a session of this level has been in the making for a long time. I want to send a huge thank you to Damien Hobgood who I’ve been shooting photos of here for nearly a decade. He used ...
Swamis - Thursday, December 28th - First Big Swell of El Niño Winter 2023/2024

Tested out some filming this evening with the Canon R5 and this new 100-500mm RF lens during the biggest swell I've been home for in a while. Taylor Knox and Joel Tudor were out, along with many others, including some who probably shouldn't have paddled. It was big and west, with a lot of closeouts, but definitely some good ones. Hope you enjoy these raw session videos. I'm going to try and pos...

What it looks like to have Mikey February drop in on you for an entire session. Here's one surf with Mikey Feb while he was in town, riding a Channel Islands Fish. I filmed this using a GoPro HERO12, paired with The Handler.

i missed the big swell day bc someone i was dating i guess you could say just wanted to have sex away from the swell.. i wanted to get back to the swell and my friends.. needless to say we didn't date any after that i have seen waves as big here since the day before and the day after the big day.. but people say it was even bigger on that day and that it was historic
what surfboards are recommended for these types of waves?
very fickle and shifty...tough to judge
I surfed the cliffs that day. I almost died.
Props to "jimmycane" love it bro.
looks like the Point however lets just say it is Blackies to add to the crowds lol
Yuuup, remember this spot firing clean left barrels off that sand bar point...memories that are burned in my soul forever 🙌
Dude! I was looking at one of the girls and thought “is that Caity Simmers”? And lo and behold you got her on the beach and it *was* her! It’s cool when you can pick someone out by their style.
Full snake-a-thon
Big barrels are boring said no one.
I used to live in Newport. What beach is this?
4:16 - There will be words .. 4:50 - Still worth it! 😆 4:57 - Still counts. Exit strategy w flair. 👏
Honestly it wasn't a lot of burning. I was out that day and the wave is so fast out of the south that if you get behind the section you can't pump your way back in. And a lot of people were too deep to make it
I surf Huntington Know your place in the pecking order hone your skills and eventually you will get waves Dont forget the Pro contest was in town. 😅
Hell yeah dude. Lookin like pipe out there
subbbed - thanks for posting
Way better organized than where I was!
guys go on surf line and checkout the rewind from this day to see how unbelievably crowded it was. I've never seen a worse crowd in my life. Usually if the waves are big enough like they are here, it keeps it from getting packed, however the size didn't seem to keep anybody out here. So surfing become like this. I miss when it was a niche activity.
Worse than Malibu? That’s pretty bad 😂
@@kimj1741 yea. I guess this is just a goto spot when a solid south swell comes through in the summer. for my local beachbreaks like this, as soon as they start going 8ft and above hardly anyone paddles out. yet these waves were huge and extremely heavy yet everyone and their mama was on it. must be due to how close to shore the waves were therefore limiting the difficulty of the paddle out.
@@batboy5023 absolutely but also the fact that we don’t get a lot of big surf out here that looks like that. Everybody and their brother is gonna paddle out. I believe Caity’s home spot is down south in San Diego so it’s nice to see her up north. The Fiji Pro is coming soon and I’m sure she was happy to get some lefts.
crazy looking session!
That was me at 4:18. Point has been my home break since birth, learned to surf out front and I WILL drop in on people I don't know, especially non locals. Like it or leave it. Side note, most of those "burns" were way out front and majority of the guys behind wouldn't have made those waves.
Do that at our pumping beach break and you WILL lose teeth. Reckless, clueless kook.
So people will drop in on you, too. Like it or leave it.
@@George_Taylor_ People who drop in on me or one of the boys usually get sent to the beach. Me and Tony sent a guy in after he dropped in on our boy Taylor. Taylor didn't even know we sent him in until we told him. That's how we hold things down. We've got numbers and it's been working that way for decades.
@@MikeListon-tk8irwow, you're a legend in your own mind.
You know da Rules!
Looks like Newport Beach River Jetty,s just before you hit Huntington Beach.
The point I think.
So cali beaches aren't use to those kinda sets 😂
Thank your for capturing these moments
Great footage. My uncle lived on that beach (point) for 25 years and left 2 years ago and I haven't been back since until I watched this. It made me feel like I was sitting with y'all. Thanks
Hey bud, let’s party!
Holy hurricane barrels, Batman!! 😮
Really hectic beach break. Gamble with tubes but some people scored
It was flat in sd I guess Malibu and oc are better south swell magnets?
This was an extreme one (SSE). The side current was moving water north FAST. You’re basically two blocks north by the time you make it out lol.
Hi Always Gnnnarly To See Again🤙🤙🤙💦🫧🌊🏄💨💨💨🥰🥰🥰
Wow looks out of control and big , fun vid to watch thanks for uploading. Can’t believe all those falls ! Meanwhile was 2-3 ft down here in San Diego …
Can totally relate brother. Watching the OC cams while pulling up to Del Mar ankle slappers.
You should see what we deal with in the winter. 2’ blackies while blacks is double overhead
I know I was really sad
2 - 3? All I've been seeing is ankle high for the past month 😥
nasty nate making the rounds round newport
Now that’s some great So Cal surf and surfing. Rare as you said and too many kooks and burns but still very worth watching, thanks!
The amount of drop ins is insane. Most are deliberate barnyard mentality. Full on kookery.
That was yesterday? But today it's tiny.
Tropical swells are gone fast. Was only good from Thurs afternoon to Friday. Usually summer swells come from the southern hemisphere and last for a few days.
That dropping in on people nonsense would very unhealthy for you where I'm from in Puerto Rico 🇵🇷 lol
Oxnard bishhh
@@punkdudex69 Lunada Bay, fo shizzle
Ca has nothing but *thieves* out in the water AND on land. Thou Shall Not Steal Karma is a bitch
I am from Southern California for 40 years and we don’t do that. Just the fools do that pardon them that’s not all of us and if you come here and surf, most are skilled enough and won’t drop in on you.
@@isabellejaubert-fried1622 Yes, I totally understand your viewpoint 👍
4:56 !
Firing in Nupes! Thx for the upload 🤙
💩💩💩💩so, why is it that Newport is So Yellow, YEAR around now!?? its never clear. all💩💩💩💩 💩Port
Waters clear right now you’re tripping
@@jahkgdm where did you paddle out? I hit upper jetties and it was yellorange
It's a spectacle and I love to be there when it does it's thing.
Definitely entertaining!
Epic Point! Thanks for the view❤❤❤
epic waves...
Was that Caity Simmers with a full on Dab to the wave? One of the best surfers in the world right now just having a blast. I miss the ocean even more now
The zoom effect had me buggin out at first
Wait, let me get my wavestorm. 😂
Too much western direction, I remember nnw freight trains and ssw dream summers. Super epic gold silver renditions live on.
Nice work lads, some insane Horseshoe.
Kinda boring unless you really like to hear this guy droning on endlessly while filming mostly unridden waves.
F'kn San Diegans can surf!
More than half don't know how to surf, I wonder why they are in there? Don't come here please, keep the crowd in Cali, please lolol
had 2 mute because of all da kooks name dropping
