  • It's not often you experience the "day of the decade" surf at any spot, let alone the world renown big wave novelty of La Jolla Cove in San Diego. Obviously this wave isn't the craziest thing ever, but it is cool to hear that it hasn't broken since Big Wednesday 2014 or something...? haha hope everyone is enjoying the California VLOGS, believe it or not there's still much more to come! Thanks for the stoke! - Ben

      Yeah, and the crowd's reaction to them rolling down to the cove was like Munson's entry to that movie. The only thing missing was someone giving Ben their slice of pizza.

    Big wave Dave is a legend that died on his board in the Humboldt bay harbor entrance. There’s a memorial for him at the eureka jetty spot.

    It's always nice to see the cove breaking. I remember back in 1985 I saw it breaking six times overhead! I headed down there planning to paddle out until I looked at it and then turned around and went back to get my camera. Sadly, I don't know what I ever did with those shots...

      I was just telling my wife about that swell. When people say this was a once in a lifetime swell I say not in my lifetime - I have seen a few. But then again I remember when the HB pier was made of wood, Main St was one way & The Golden Bear still had bands playing. I bet The Frog House in Newport Beach probably still has the picture of a wave breaking OVER the HB pier and taking out The End Cafe. circa 1985

    Best quality backwash sidebar novelty wave I've seen in S.D. is in my local zone in C-bad. Only scored it once though. Backwash that has the potential to offer mini right barrels and diagonals that turn even cross-shore, so you can even ride parallel to the beach not just out-to-sea! 💪💯
