Crowded but following da rules! Tons of surfers paddling deep not to disturb the surfers line. Plus shoulder hoppers pulling out! Not everyday Trestles is this courteous, but what a beautiful thing when da rules are followed!
Born and raised in San Clemente, Middles and Cottons were my playground. Had to move out of state up north to have a future and stability, but thank you for posting and capturing this swell! brings back good summer time south swell memories!!
Crap, thought i had responded to this. Must've been another vid. Anyway, surfed there many times WAY BACK WHEN. My dad was navy officer with officer sticker on our cars, so it was ez to drive thru camp pendleton from oceanside, or up coast hiway. Supereasy breaks even at 6'-8'. Will never 4get. Love the inside outs. I'm goofy foot, didnt bother me one way or the other. And the beach boys were the best surf musicians out there! I'm 76 now. Boards handed over to my 2 grandsons, 13 and 14. They figured it out easily, having easily picked up boogeyboarding.
Amazing footage. I am a kook who fell into surfing last minute with a surf lesson in Waikiki before my flight out from Hawaii. Very much appreciate the vids you have produced. I'm a derm and would love to do a talk on sun protection / skin cancer prevention. Keep up the amazing footage and content!
Not quite exactly the same. That left really didn't exist back then, on a swell like this maybe a little more hollow back then, the sea urchins are gone now.
@@karendurant4981 LOL! True nuff! In that sense things change, maybe like us people. : ) I like to think the hardware gets worn out but the software improves! Stay on it.
After the first 50 years of my life in California one of the few places I miss other than my home break of HB pier is Lowers and Cottons.... well and when the Ranch was private access only and Blacks and Sunset cliffs and K38's 😅.
Surfing So Cal coast since the 70s . Never really liked lowers. Not enough punch in the wave. Uppers when it's big can throw a punch at you. Great video Brad. Travel south a little farther check out Oside. Good waves and a lot of local talent.🤙👍
I always went to uppers because lowers was more crowded and I didn't think I would get a wave with that many guys out. That was mostly back in the late 70s
Question? Why do surfers at Trestles obey cans follow “rules of the road” and those at Malibu create dangerous anarchy. This episode had but a half-dozen drop in take offs -- who then pulled off over the top! - and showed paddlers willing to eat some white water and paddle behind the oncoming rider. Does the walk discourage beginners? The vibe is respectful and more careful. Why?
Because it becomes "known" that drop ins or "party waves" are expected, tolerated or endured. Also drop ins seem to have become OK with beginners, at "beginner spots"- more culture-shift changes, slow but apparently inevitable changes. Lame, huh?
Just a thought.....I would bet that most of those clowns that drop in on others at malibu are covid beginners. These seem to be the worst type of surfer in general. All about themselves and no one else.
I would guess it's because Lowers is generally a more advanced wave, so not as many beginner surfers who don't know the rules. It's also much harder to get there, so most there are committed, experienced surfers who have etiquette.
Trestles is so awesome now. All you need to start shredding is first, buy a Tesla, then get an e-bike. On your way down stop by Costco and pick up a wavestorm. Once you get down to the beach, just paddle straight out to the point and act like you belong there.
Current day surfing : every surfer is a Thruster clone , they all have that back leg bent stinkbug stance, not one surfer seen here is standing up straight with shoulders back. No grace and style .
Bro, the life on the beach is stressful enough so there is no time for working a 9-5 job. Also, with my yoga, zumba and TM class how do you find time to pay the bills? That’s what sponsors are for so we don’t have to work! Mahala, oh wise one.

Not gonna lie...kinda breaks my heart.
As does mine. Had to move, first time in life land locked. In Missouri. Have mercy🏄💔🙏🌹🤙🤠@@thenewtowncryer
Grew up Dana Point surfed plenty lowers but Cottons and Uppers on a good NW were my faves. Been a while, feel ya 🤙Middles has its days too yeah?
That was fun. Thank you for posting. Love the simple old school single vantage point. No drone shots! 👍
Thanks!
Makes me miss SC so much! Great video Brad!
With the music, that was relaxing to watch. Thanks.
great video man, havent surfed san clemente in awhile feels good to watch a video of lowers when its good

Great Job Brad... love the way you shot and edited this
Oh man, brings back great memories. Cottons back in the day. Churches, uppers, lowers wherever. All good!
Love it. How I miss my backyard. 👍
That double carve @5:18 was sick!!!

Thanks! Are you located in So Cal?
@@BradJacobson Hi. Yes - I live in Long Beach, and spend most weekends in San Diego for family and surfing.
I shot there this past Tuesday, 7ft+ in the morning, I caught Taylor Knox, Caroline Marks and Tanner Gud, so stoked. Great Video.
Love Jake Marshall's read on waves, draws nice lines. Underrated imo. Plenty ripping go on this day, thanks 👍
@4:12 out the back.... did those two boys end up switching priority sides on the paddle in??? I don't think I've ever seen that before.
noice BRAD! another banger
First time I surfed Trestles was 50 years ago this summer. Glad to see it is exactly the same today!

Off topic…There’s going to be a Bruce Brown film from 1958, Slippery When Wet, on Turner Classic Movies tonight at 5:00 PM, PDT. I’ve not seen it….
Great a crowded mushburger with everyone on it. Bring back the wolfpack

Looks like Crosby is out there tearing it apart.

I think the people who surf trestles just know how to surf properly and are not long boarders.
Because it's LA where everything is "agro" and chaotic!
Because it becomes "known" that drop ins or "party waves" are expected, tolerated or endured.
Also drop ins seem to have become OK with beginners, at "beginner spots"- more culture-shift changes, slow but apparently inevitable changes. Lame, huh?
Just a thought.....I would bet that most of those clowns that drop in on others at malibu are covid beginners. These seem to be the worst type of surfer in general. All about themselves and no one else.
@@gettinthingsdonemusic9876this is true 😂. I’m a Covid beginner 😂😂😂
Lot more surf etiquette at Lowers than at Malibu. Always wondered why?
I would guess it's because Lowers is generally a more advanced wave, so not as many beginner surfers who don't know the rules. It's also much harder to get there, so most there are committed, experienced surfers who have etiquette.
Have fun walking out at low tide
There was once a tram pulled by an ATV. I remember running from the Marines before Nixon opened it to the public.

I was surfing mb pier today and it is firing!
Manhattan?
@@thenewtowncryeryuh
Jake Marshall was ripping!!
GREAT SURFERS......COME AND GO....GET REAL......ALOHA/
I thought that was him. Danka! Go Griff!!!
The 2024 WSL championship will take place here? Whoever has the best airs, will be it!
6:56 I felt physically
Current day surfing : every surfer is a Thruster clone , they all have that back leg bent stinkbug stance, not one surfer seen here is standing up straight with shoulders back.
No grace and style .
I've surfed Malibu, never Trestles. Which wave is better?
What lens are you rocking ???
Wow! Nice. But what a slow moving swell and not a whole Lotta style out there -Can’t tell one snap from the rest. Juz shayin
The music gave me a headache ..my dog too.
Shit wave to crown world champions...no credit at all to any of the last WSL finals.
Damn, nobody works

Way to blow up the spot.
🤣
lmao
secret spot
Ahhhhh, The Horse Is Out Of The Barn Dude. Sorry, but if you weren't here in 68 or 76 you fully missed it
Say "cool" if you're covered in whipped cream right now.
coOL!!!
Yeah that’s gonna be a No from me dawg.
lol..seriously...lol
Lol. The wave is so overrated. Haha. Night surfed it before
it is just me or everyone surfing so slow ?
Wish it wasn’t spead up…
What a zoo!! No thanks
I hate skateboard surfing looks to choppy not smooth!
E bikes should be banned in CA surf towns. Rarely see more entitlement than i do with the U18 E bike losers...
Hmmm. Remember being 12?? Lighten up
