- Surfers at the lane.
I am not in this video, my friend and I were just filming that day because we didn't want to die.
I know I am uploading this about 8 months late, but I didn't even remember filming this until i watched some home videos recently so I didn't know I had it.
@ElectronHexagon "Steamer Lane" got named when 3rd reef is breaking about half a mile out to sea the peaks were breaking in the old "Steamer lanes" where the boats used to go to get to the wharf just south of Lighthouse Point (that is the proper landmark for "The Lane"). The source of this was the late great "Sam Reid" who retired to Santa Cruz and passed in the late 1970's. Reid is also credited with being the first (along with Tom Blake) to surf Malibu. So the information is reliable.
Worst beating I ever took as a surfer was at Steamer's Lane on a huge day like this one. Scary stuff to be out there. The ocean really makes you realize how insignificant you are when you're in conditions like these.
@ElectronHexagon It gets it's name from the huge steam ships that once went by the spot in the 50's. It's Steamer Lane. Not Steamer's Lane
sick
i think i was their that day
that is my big bro out there the one on the none gun the orange shortboard
jealous yeah thats what i thought
Big steamer Lane makes you wish you were a trout when it's mackin so hard only two dudes paddle out
This is about how big that Middle peak left was that broke on my head at this spot. It could have been a slight bit bigger than this actually. It might have even been this day! Haha.
I dont know about that guy, but looks pretty damn big to me.
Maybe cause the biggest Ive surfed were 5 footers. Oh well.
I wonder when they named it steamers lane they were referring to the local surfers out there. You know - "steamers" - what you call fresh hot dog shit on the lawn on a cold morning...?
1:43 why??!!
what most people don't realize is that santa cruz is full of heavier waves than every where else. you could surf that same size in so cal and it would be way weaker than going up north. Good vid man
AWESOME video. Thanks.
thats a lot if you didnt take a breath man.
Gotta say these are some pretty big waves for Cali (ignoring the big wave spots). Even in Hawaii a swell of this size would be considered not HUGE but ok sized. But damn! I wish everyday I went out on the south shore (Oahu) was like this. (Was 3x overhead this weekend) But it's gone now :(
Anyone who has taken one of those "Slot Bombs" on the head knows that is very, very big (and cold).
@dimphil
no
@natro3 that dude is a kook! He dropped in twice on other guys
As I've said before, it's all relative.
This IS big for Steamer Lane. It's big for me.
It may not be big for your local spot, or big for you.
Thanks for watching.
if you dont call that big you must surf mavericks for a living
@ElectronHexagon
I'm fairly certain that is the exact origin of the name
aaa hhh o aha ao ahoahaohahoahahoa... he's death
@Tomcj20067 I will defer to your definition. Sounds more reasonable. ;)
nice vid! i like the subtitles
I loved the comments alot of people died that day I guess ...lol
It's not even that big...
Not that big at all..
hilarious!
Where I live a steamer is also used to describe a gay person. Steamer lane to me suggests a lane full of gays. Awesome video though!
Well i mean it's big, but it's not that "big", every noob can surf that, just need some balls.
Hilarious!! That's not even that big.
R. Lemon you serious>?
Uh yeah, took another look and I have to say after looking at it every a.m.on my way to work for 30 years, middle pe
Middle peak stands up a lot taller than that quite often, it's just a drop and then mushes pretty quick , left can be fun.
Big for socal or east coast I am guessing. Cheers
R. Lemon You sound fun.
