I’m 60 yrs old and have been surfing for 50,we use to joke skim boarders.You guys have given me a whole new respect for what you do,your really on a different level.I’ll never laugh at skim boarders again,I don’t know how long those finned hard short boards have been around but I wish we would have had them when I was young,I would have definitely owned one.You guys Rip !!
so you surfed everyday or I will give you once a week for 50 years? I don't believe you. You surfed when you were young, then life took over, you worked a job you hated for decades for a family who take you forgranted and hate you. Your wife ended up fucking your eldest daughters boyfriend. Your son loved brazillian boys. Your youngest daughter loved Leon and he loved crack. You are now in a bed sit your wife has everything you worked for for years. She got it by doing absolutely nothing btw. And now you just sit in a drunken stuper infront of a computer remembering the one time you tries surfing and failed miserably.
Looks like seal beach south side to me. I rode 8- 10 footers there in 69 and 15 - 18 footers in 71. I lived to write this 50 years later. Never forget those two days as long as I live!!!
I telescoped my spine and lay motionless on the sand, unable to move from the neck down for a good 30 seconds, while skimming at this beach (The Wedge, Newport Beach CA). I could open my mouth to scream for help, but I couldn't make any sound come out. I could open my mouth and blink my eyes, aside from that I had no control of my body at all. For those 30 seconds I got myself mentally prepared to spend the rest of my life as a paraplegic. And then I slowly started getting feelings & sensations back, and within a few minutes I was more or less fine. I took my spinal cord right to the point of snapping without actually snapping it. The longest 30 seconds of my life, right where this was filmed, doing the same thing 30 years ago. Why is TH-cam showing this to me? Trying to make me feel grateful for my life or something? 😛
Did this snowboarding. Probably bent my spinal cord to the point no electrical communication could get through to the rest of the body. Was also convinced I was paraplegic for that 30 seconds or so.
As a kid I always purposely sat right where I'd get sucked over the falls and get slammed and flopped around on the sand! Silly kids bounce off concrete!
''true surfers''? what? why cant there be 2 types of surfers? skim boarders who surfs shorebreaks and regular surfers? why has the gotta be hate in between?
Aw brah its just like, you just get the best barrels ever dude. you come in and get spit righttt out. just drop in and smack the lip, wah BAH, just drop back in like BAHHHH, just ride the barrel and get pitted, sooo pitted like THAT.
Certain breaks and conditions can create one-off events that you'd never believe possible. I was surfing in Pacific Beach area of San Diego one weird day and I was watching the horizon for something surfable I heard a noise BEHIND me and hand to God there was a wave coming towards us. Going the wrong way! Since I happened to be facing the right way I figured what the hell and tried to drop in but it just fell apart as it hit deeper water but was still a trip.
No one: Literally no one: Guy in the first clip: I could easily get that! A few seconds later the same guy: that’s how you get dead right there! Holy makrol 🤣🤣
I live six miles from this spot. I learned to surf on the north side of the pier. I surfed here when a large section of the pier broke during a storm and huge sections were floating around. You’d get barreled along with a piece of pier. Just wish it broke year round, not just winter. But been about 20 years since surfing south side.
Wow you guys are so wonderful beautiful amazing surfers 🏄♀️ Seems like you guys have a lot of fun there But be carful and stay safe guys God’s blessed 👍👍👍
LOL!! My dad said one time, he was running with my brother, and he wasn’t looking and then he kicked a squirrel and it went flying all across the park-
That really wasn’t that bad I’ve been slammed by much bigger at the Wedge, anyway he was already at the bottom when the wave crashed onto him I doubt he even got scratched on that one
this is one of my favorite kind of waves cuz u can get majorly shacked an theres no hold downs once ur done u just stand up an ur on the beach . super fun waves
Sand is more forgiving than coral or lava reef. The reef at Pipeline is especially gnarly, it's composed of sharp jagged basalt that looks like a sadistic maze that has walls topped with blades and caves you can get thrown into, even fang like rock formations.
Years of mountain hang gliding, sometimes in questionable conditions, and this still makes me wonder why. I've been to the Wedge on big days (local So Cal boy) and wonder, as that break consistently closes from the other side and crashes down shallow, in a foot or two of water from pretty high up, what are these folks counting on?
There was once a great post card, a pic from an airplane coming into LA @ night ( imagine) on the back it said “ All roads lead to LA” It was my home I grew up there the 60s & 70s lawndale California Luezinger high and this shit their doing it’s old bra ,but sorry man California is now officially a shit hole and all of us natives have long departed it’s yours now you can have it, sad 😢 actually.
Cali fucking sucks. Cost of living is a joke, homeless people everywhere, bankrupt state government, violent racial divide, pollution everywhere including the beaches you’re so proud of. You get cut in that water and you’re guaranteed a case of Hepatitis or Ebola. Ya, California rocks, LMFAO.

Totally awesome
@Cecil Cruz I'll be 70 next February
Native to the town, I can verify that it still can get that big on a good winter swell.
69....
Where is this?
did anyone ignore the fact on how high he went on the wave at 0:59
I yea he got some air on that one. Just imagine if he’d have tucked his feet he might have gotten 3 flips out of it.
He was gonna have an awesome wave as well

And that was when you got your ass back in the water to ride those waves!
I see The Wedge but there is a pier in some of these clips. Further north on Baloba?

No.When One of them ends up w/ a halo on his head they'll realize, the great surfers don't bother w/ ridiculous shorebreak!

People have become permanently paralyzed doing this. These people are incredibly athletic but taking a huge and crazy risk.
The commentary on these videos are always top tier
this gives me so much anxiety but I can't stop watching these videos😂😬
“Tiny surfboards”
did he mean skimboards lmfao
@1:00 this guy has balls to get in after that
That was the ride of the day.

4:50 This guy was so deep that the wave spit before he even came out. Great shot; great ride.
A new meaning to the phrase " go pound sand".
Respect for even trying to ride the waves in the first place

1:04. omg you have to look let's hope he's ok
He is
Me apaixonei por essa praia ❤
Ah, Seal Beach… I loved bodyboarding the winter swell breaks. Hated the sinus infections from basically surfing in sewage.
There’s a gnarly shore break at Big Beach on Maui. The locals told me they have tons of serious back and neck injuries every year.
Austin Keen at the end with the personal photographer lol...that was kinda funny 😂. Idk why
Shore breaks or "shory's" as we call them have sent many a person to the spinal unit, you'll end up in a wheelchair that you steer with your tounge.
Nice video :) really enjoyed this one
Great vid lots of support
1:02 I WANT TO BE A BIRD OCEAN
Ocean: Really?👍👏👍fly so my little bird :3
1:04 is definitely on my bucket list
Lol I never saw the ocean throw someone into the air like that
Body wamping. I grew up at the beach. I did this for years. A lot of fun. Great video.
That quad fin skimboard is the way to go!!
0:15 who else thought that wave felt like a tsunami
Me no
U know what a tsunami is?
Eh, I’ve seen bigger on camera. That was just a huge wave.
Seal Beach be pumping lol
Seal Beach, yeah, right! Or was it the left?
I can't believe there's so many thumbs down. This is very crunchy n tasty footage.

@@ashfrick5958 Thanks

@@pitucaacadela295 yes.
Since no one seems to know, that's Laguna Beach in Cali and the "tiny surfboards" are skimboards
@pluvio not Newport wedge?I'm from hella cal I really dunno
Joshua they're skim boards
I live there and there is no pier that would be dana point
1:02- my guy went flying 😂
LOL!! My dad said one time, he was running with my brother, and he wasn’t looking and then he kicked a squirrel and it went flying all across the park-
I miss days like that. How was The Point at 19th street that day?

great video!
That’s how I broke my board once lmao
Falling head first is how you break your neck in these kinds of waves.
Yer mom.
Cool!😂 looks fun! Were is this at?
It's good to be young. I enjoyed this stuff in the 80s and 90s.
Dude at 1:00 gets WRECKED!!! hahaha
daaaaaamn!
what happened to blair's hair?! :O
Seal beach 1973, barrels and Nick broke his board on the pier! Still critical.
South side of seal beach pier has always been a fun spot I remember when I was a kid I watched people skim board there after surfing the jetty
they put fins on a skimboard😂
Is that what it is? I couldn't tell if it was a surfboard or not.
I thinks it’s just a wakesurf board that’s the right size
Years of mountain hang gliding, sometimes in questionable conditions, and this still makes me wonder why. I've been to the Wedge on big days (local So Cal boy) and wonder, as that break consistently closes from the other side and crashes down shallow, in a foot or two of water from pretty high up, what are these folks counting on?
Bc it’s so much fun getting huge barrels and so easy to air! I bodyboard but I love shore break we don’t get it this perfect on the outer banks tho!
Wedge is very dangerous. I've seen some horrible accidents there.
I had no idea waves formed/crashed that close to the beach
That is scary
That’s some badass shore break.
you spelled surfboard wrong anyone notice?
Haha I did not actually
1:04 wtf did he just do
What beach is this? I would love to go there and see those waves
Experienced my first time hitting the Shaw this month and it hurts these guys are mad
That’s impressive but never seems to end well for them 😂
Imagine being brave enough to do this
There's an extra fine line between being remarkably brave and being intricately cautious.
I wush I grew up on the coast 😔 🤙 you dudes are sick with it
Holy cow! these guys are getting sent!
Blair Conklin on the Exile Skimfin 🙌
