What a lovely film. Terrific job! I am a proud resident of Half Moon Bay, and while my wife and I were some of the people who may have displaced locals when we moved here in 2012, I'm proud to say that we're trying to be very involved on our local causes and politics, and to help to take care of this magnificent place that we call "home". Thank you for capturing these great stories.
Great video! I used to live in Half Moon Bay on a sailboat. This brought back good memories for Me.In 2005 I move to nevada just out side of Winnemucca. I lived in Half Moon Bay form 1989 to 2005. The place become Too expensive to live there.
Bought tears streaming, lived in Montara from 82 to 97 and it was the best part of my life. your video really hit the heartstrings, there is no place like the HMB coast side. Sadly the cost of living chased us out to survive. I was back about 7 years ago and it broke my heart to see how it changed and how it wasn't the same and some of the changes weren't so cool, but it was good to see some of the old-timers still there and keeping it alive.
This is an excellent narrative with a good tempo and a balanced but fair presentation of gentrification. Thank you for doing this work. This kind of work is so important today.
I've just watched some of the coolest people on the planet. Total feel good video. Thank you very much........I started surfing myself way back now in 77/78, I can't remember now. What I do know and still know is that " it's a great feeling, one on one with the ocean".
Aww watching this makes me so nostalgic for HMB. I went to high school there class of ‘91 and my folks still live in Montara. I need to go visit soon! It makes me sad hearing Brian & the others talk about the changes & politics... but so glad people like them are there fighting for the land. I also have so many memories there❤️ great video!
I grew up with Overfelt and Darren surfing, skating, and biking (67-90). It was a magical place to grow up, but now living there has become unattainable. It's a very complex issue of limited resources, space, coupled with a huge demand of people wanting to live there.
Grew up in Stockton California but spent so many weekends coming to pescadero/ hmb. Love the area and I’m convincing my parents to buy a house there as we speak. They feel at home there !
I grew up in San Luis Obispo ca from 65 on. Pop 34000 Then cal poly came popular and the pop went to well over a mil and couldn’t afford to live there Moved to los Oslo’s and loved the sweat pea fields. Went back a few years ago and there’s a Costco, a Home Depot and no farm fields anymore. Soooo sad.
I miss HMB moved out in 2000. Out of state now miss my old home off Kelly right by three amigos. I ate there everyday for lunch,lol I used to sneak out of cunha to shoot across the street grab a burrito then hit the ramps at the skate park before getting caught by MR Chaplin lol. miss my old shop teacher MR. Silva. 🤙🏻🇺🇸🍻
I grew up in a small town that's located within a 30 mile radius of New York City. It's population was less than 2,000 and I too got my drivers license approx 1971. Nothing as stayed the same including this little enclave of humans living within a half hour or so drive of NYC. It's population is now doubled but it's still that unique little enclave. Just not the same as it used to be..........in many ways thank G-d!
I miss old days in elgra Humba Princeton H. Dirt rds. Smoke from are chimneys tha beacon beeeoooping at night put me to sleep. And a big clean south west swell the Jerty would be as good as trestles with 20 people out. Surfing the reefs dunes no one out just trying to find a misto breakDon't care if you don't think so you weren't there mezzaluna forever from my heart! SAMSHAW
Americans have been overrun but lunatics. Preserver open lands protect nature. Millionaires should all go move to China. Be local , live local BUY LOCAL

Brian nailed my sentiments. Stay in the fight. Keep the coastside open and beautiful.
Landon - you need to share this with a wider audience! It is so fabulous. Congrats!!!

Grew up in Pacifica in the 60s and El Granada in the 70s. The best time of my life….It’s differently not the same anymore.
Well done. Lived on the coast from 1972. to 1998. I would love to move back.
Discovered 'Mavericks'.......how cool is that......That guy is obviously a legend..... God bless you sir. God bless you.

Nice video
I grew up Surfing Breakwater and we were tripping when they opened
Mc Donald’s. Crazy lots of changes but still HMB. 👍
Grew up in Stockton California but spent so many weekends coming to pescadero/ hmb. Love the area and I’m convincing my parents to buy a house there as we speak. They feel at home there !
Putting this video on youtube will attract more people to want to move to HMB
First house in Montara’89….five years of bliss

Awesome video!
The story of so many small towns in California
I grew up in a small town that's located within a 30 mile radius of New York City. It's population was less than 2,000 and I too got my drivers license approx 1971. Nothing as stayed the same including this little enclave of humans living within a half hour or so drive of NYC. It's population is now doubled but it's still that unique little enclave.

A small house there is about 1,000,000$
I fished there a lot at martin's beach and pescadero....

whats the name of the song at the start?
Keep the country/country.
Northern California was ONCE the best place to live. Then a great evil filled the land. This evil is high technology.

I heard sharks love surfers, I wonder if surfers felt the same way to sharks.
I'm so sick of the rich buying all the houses and making our small communities into their retirement towns. Keep up the good fight.
surf hasnt been good in years
