This is definitely fun footage. There were all sorts of weird winds and swells on January 5th. That south wind swell really does weird stuff. It was exciting, but I honestly didn't see any epic surf anywhere. Black's was certainly big, but I've seen it much cleaner and just as big.
man Cali breaks always look gnarly as heck. People fighting for a 3 sec ride just to get closed out on or sidewashed. All while having to wear 3mm suits.
That’s a Friday scenario. You should see how it is Monday mornings or after 3day weekends not to mention Halloween. Be xful out there and keep quiet. Or KellyChristiansonwill potentially karate chop you
@@BigDaddy-hn7oh I lived in SB for 3 years and it only broke properly about 2 or 3 times. One time it was PERFECT 3-4 foot perfect reeling peeling pits
There is, everywhere else is better than getting in there. The problem is that someone else is going to get in in that wash and be on the wave first. You can drop on them but you better be ready for a brawl if you do 😂. It’s always fun surfing a spot with a 20 yard takeoff area and 300 of your not so closest friends!
There is. But the entire lineup would need to agree on this. Otherwise whoever wants to sit furthest outside, and in the path of the backwash, is gonna have priority.
It’s disappointing to see it this big and this 💩 of shape. It usually looks like Kelly’s wave pool when it’s big. I bet El Cap was where it was at for barrels…
We'll agree to disagree on that..Refreshing to see a fluid style of surfing,rather than the wingflap crap on the down south Shredder circuit..One day you'll know what I'm talkin about..
Sometimes even guys that surf every day aren't sure how to handle really BIG WAVES LOL
What’s that supposed to mean?
@@captainahab3355 Joe has never surfed and doesn’t understand, which explains his comment.
This has gotta be the craziest wave I’ve ever seen
Combat surfing!
ive seen like 50 photos of that first wave -- that dude most be so stoked
Beautiful! I like the way you shot this, the lighting, the slow mo- everything about it.
Thank you 🙏
Beautifully filmed and crafted.
Thank you
Cool to see. Like to see the whole wave not so zoomed in but good job. .

Good take
Niccccccceee yeeeeaaaaah!!!!!!!
I was out there, current was so strong I paddled for over hour and a half to get out and got one mediocre wave and went in lol
You still charged it bro
Hate that hahaha
Insane! 50 years ago I was a student at UCSB
Thank you for watching!
Damn. Trains ran back then or what? 😂😂
Yeah /backed out on the camera once in a while/ gives a better perspective.
Crazy spot!
Footage of Tom Curren out there many moons ago fantastic footage 🤙
So gnarly, looks like an alien mutant wave from another planet 🌊👍👽
The day after was way better, so much water moving this day, big crowded and cold
that backwash makes for some intense wipeouts
First guy dropping into a triple overhead stormy Sandspit wave had balls of steel....Heavy, heavy day there on 1/5/23.
It’s a curse
Epic wave

At that surf spot a 4mm suit is more like it
It wasn’t very clean but sand spit is world class when the conditions are right

4/3mm
Thank you!
thanks for watching!
Epic wipeout at 6:54
This is sick, thanks
Glad you like it!
Was it a different direction to other swells on TH-cam? It's just a shoulder and not rifeling off barrels.
The Santa Barbara boyz-killing it.
Almost as good as the Newport Beach/Wedge crew.
Lol. Gtfo here 😂😂
Looks a lot more mellow of a wave now than back in the day it was a very critical drop then barrel the whole way. Sandbar may have changed
it’s because we’ve had consistent south wind swells depleting the sand since summer also this is for sure maxxed out
And the swell came too close offshore same thing for a other spots that didn’t look as impressive as I hoped
So cal is going off! First 15 at Rincon and now this?! Awesome filming btw
Thank you!
Reminds me of the last time I surfed at K58, without the walking on broken glass
Classic story
LMFAO!!! So crowded! Had it 25 years ago to a handful of people.
it's not really doing it for this swell. Usually endless barrels. None of these waves were barreling properly. It's too big of swell for sandspits
Negative. It was crowded , more crowded than this day back then cause it was way better
Has it been 40 years? For me seems i surfed this place in about 1975 .yeah I did i wasn't big but the inside barrel .sand spit
@@BigDaddy-hn7oh I lived in SB for 3 years and it only broke properly about 2 or 3 times. One time it was PERFECT 3-4 foot perfect reeling peeling pits
thats number 1 bullshit.
3:40 haha that's me! Is there anyway I can get or buy this little clip off ya? Thanks for shooting
Sick wave let’s go grommm
Sick wave let’s go grommm
I was wondering what kind a wave/waves
at 7 mins, looks like a shark fin passing by
Nice catch
Looks like the swell angle wasn’t quite right
good call...
Lobster traps in the surf zone. How can that be legal?
I almost popped my airtube body board out there. Some kook took off on me but i showed him
Normally looks like Cape St. Francis, but apparently not on this day... can't believe the backwash.
is that a shark at 7:03?
upper right corner area
Nice catch... Hard to tell. The broken wood pier pilons were floating around too.
😳
Pretty sure it was a lobster trap buoy. People were holding on to them to stay in place for the current
Yes, tons of sharks here.
There’s gotta be a better spot than meeting with that backwash
There is, everywhere else is better than getting in there. The problem is that someone else is going to get in in that wash and be on the wave first. You can drop on them but you better be ready for a brawl if you do 😂. It’s always fun surfing a spot with a 20 yard takeoff area and 300 of your not so closest friends!

@@aloeup2121 did you notice the lack of body boarders? A couple years ago they would all swarm the wash. Times change I guess.
Normally that's the spot, right at the end of the jetty or there's another spot inside that you can pick off if guys fall.
@@wesleyturner1979 Totally. I remember surfing there in 92 with 8 spongers and 2 other surfers.
Fucking hectic awesome video
Thanks for Watching!
None of those kooks could out maneuver me on my air tube. I get tubed almost every wave. Sand spit is nothing compared to the rides I get at mondos
Bwahahahah
Sand spit is mushy compared to the close out 15ft walls of water I ride daily
Where's the barrel I remember curren getting fucking shacked
Those are weird waves small and slow 😂
Looks angry!
Re-title the video
All of OC comes to SB for big and dumpy sandspit.
Classic
Back up bro
its not really going off
It’s disappointing to see it this big and this 💩 of shape. It usually looks like Kelly’s wave pool when it’s big. I bet El Cap was where it was at for barrels…
Pitas pt.
@@jacobsmith4284 👍🏼 was it better than Rincon?
@@jacobsmith4284 was a mess.
I ended up at el cap and was small and crowded.. should’ve surfed out front after it cleaned up but it’s always greener on the other side
wow the only break ive seen from this swell where theres actual makeable barrels
in this video?
insane
Meh. What a mess.
wtf happened to sandspit? worst sandspit video I've ever seen.
A lot of mediocre surfing and people that should be at a less challenging spot. As usual Kook country
We'll agree to disagree on that..Refreshing to see a fluid style of surfing,rather than the wingflap crap on the down south Shredder circuit..One day you'll know what I'm talkin about..
I'd love to get my hands on some frames to tweak for the lads @bunganboy
