Surfer Yoda
Добавлен 2 янв 2011
Just a place to show my videos surfing solo or with my buds. There are occasionally other things to show too. I'm a Christ follower, husband, father, and surfer who sometimes skateboards.

This board really works even if the waves aren't. It loves hollow fast waves even more. Super stoked on this thing.

Surfed with my uncle. This guy is 70 years old with stage 4 lung cancer and still hitting the waves. God Bless you, Uncle Chris!

Today was much better than the 1 to 2 foot they had at 4 am when I was looking at the cams. Super fun.

3 spots from the Surfline Cams: Manhattan Beach Pier, Sapphire St, T Street. One thing you can see is the acceleration the board is capable of.

There was a little south showing but the tide was struggling to allow it to work. Always fun, though.
Fishin' & Loggin' Over 2 Days
Просмотров 14Месяц назад
I had an early start on Tuesday installing shelving at 5 am. I went to surf after that, then Wednesday was my typical dawn patrol. That day I only brought a log because my uncle was coming, but an accident he wasn't involved in stranded him on the freeway unable to exit. I missed you, Uncle Chris.

Powder and I paddled out at 5:50 am. the first 20 minutes of video you couldn't see anything. I used the color pallet to work on the first couple of our waves and then it finally got light enough. Fun morning.

May the Force be with you!
😂 that was fantastic 😂
@@mdb4282 Glad you enjoyed it! 🤣😆
nice. I should try an early session there once. I really like that wave, I've had some decent days there but it was packed.
@@ThomyeSurfs Oh, it definitely gets packed. I was grateful to have a buddy looking out for me because I was in the shortest board. Made sure I caught a couple of sets. Even as inconsistent as it was I had a blast. Crowd was mellow.
Looks fun. that is the most crowded I've seen your spot, at least of the ones you posted. LOL I need to drive up one of these days.
@@ThomyeSurfs you are always welcome. Every one of us met there and the waves surprised us. I might head your way sometime this week. I’ll let you know.
Great outline. The reason someone kept this board is because it works 💪
Wow it looked pretty thick!
@@mdb4282 it was! I think that kept the crowd down, LOL. Since it was just the 5 of us the whole time. The size wasn’t bad. How was South OC?
some of those waves looked so good. Super clean espeically cuz in OC, it's been really bad winds, not strong, just bad direction.
@@ThomyeSurfs It’s been okay up this way wind wise but the low tide still sucks the energy away. Can’t wait to get those medium tides again. It was definitely fun, tho.
Swell hype for sure. Sailor's rock dancing was the highlight.
You should definitely keep this spot a secret.
dude, you posted this at 3am? LOL Great footage by the way. And I've been meaning to ask, how are you filming this? is that a surf cam or something? It looks static.
@@ThomyeSurfs I probably post too much. I had finished putting it together yesterday, but hadn’t completed the titles and song in iMovie. I completed that this morning. 3 am. LOL. I just set up a Sony Handy Cam on a tripod and aim it where I think I’m going to be mostly. Which is why my buds and I surf off cam. One of my buddies has the Solo Shot, which I think you use (?) and i feel that at that cost I could buy a used surfboard I haven’t tried yet. 😂😂 But I’m starting to think it might be best if I’m solo. I use the Ken Burns effect in iMovie to “track” the surfer.
That's the most crowded I've seen your secret spot, LOL. Looks fun, especially the left, haha
Oh, there will be days it won’t look secret at all. They’re coming! 😉
Ive had some great sessions at Zuma back in the '70s. There's a nice left at the south end of Zuma, near Pt Dume. 👍
This RUclipsr wants to join!
that is where I learned to surf. :) brings back memories. Although back in the 80's it was so much bigger on Northside, not sure what happened. you had some awesome runners. Sorry I couldn't make it out. Now I might have to go there and give it a go on my LB.
That was pretty cool
Thanks. It was pretty small.
@@TheSurferYoda maybe small but looked fun. 🤙
Yew! Just you and one other guy at the beginning, nice. Some really good rebound sections too. That last wave was a really good reentry too.
nice backhand reos. Board seems to go good for you. Yew!!!
Thanks, Thomye! I surfed your neck of the woods on it this morning as a Thruster with F8’s. Northside HB Pier. Probably too big of fins for me but I got them when I was much heavier. It still worked well there, too. Love your reviews.
@@TheSurferYoda thanks, appreciate that. It's funny, I used to weigh 175 (muscle and a bit of the other stuff), LOL I'm 145 now but realize after being heavier, I like bigger fins. I likely would not have tried big fins if it wasn't for being heavier at one point. haha
@@ThomyeSurfs I totally get it. I was 185 for a long time and used Large AM2's on my thrusters. Now I'm 162, but dropped to Mediums in AM1's. Dropping to mediums really livened up my boards so I've tried to stick with that template. But there's a place to keep larges in the quiver, I'm sure. I still have a couple of sets.
Perhaps the worst surf video ever
LOL. I think my description hinted at that.
Any kelp out there yet?
There is, but not a lot.
ya guys, u guys scored
Where is this? 🌭🌭🌭🤠🌭🌭🌭
If I told YOU where it was on here all of the COVID surfers would show up. 😉
My only criticism would be the nose. The last couple of inches to be exact. Perhaps it's just my preference as 'beauty is in the eye of the beholder'. But when I learnt to shape, mostly self taught, though I had tips from legendary shapers in my town. One tip of advice was to keep the curve going all the way to the tip of the nose, and advice I applied to my shapes. I see boards where the curve straightens at the very last few inches of the nose and therefore doesn't look good to my eye. Anyway, perhaps its just different tastes. Cheers
Thanks for watching. I appreciate what you're saying. Surfboards have evolved and most of the twin fins I've ridden have that very same symmetry you're describing, like Mark Richards Retro Twins or the Campbell Brothers Alpha Omega Twin Fin. Of course, other boards do, too. I'd challenge your eye to look at the :03 second mark to see the bottom outline and you can see that it is indeed as you describe. Being a bit more high performance means more foam is taken out of the deck side of the nose to drop some weight up there and also a bit more nose rocker allowing for dropping in on steeper waves attributes to the "look" of what you're describing as "straight the last few inches". I like the dialogue and would love to see some of your boards! Take care.
How good the waves are, how good a surfer you are, where you are is irrelevant. How much fun did you have. What memories were created. Surfing with your uncle and having a good time. That's ripping!
Coppertone! I dig it. Really great surfin with y’all today!
Stoked to meet you, too! Glad you joined us. You’re welcome anytime.
Went surfing once north of SF. Memorable, but needed more like this chill. 🤙
❤LC
Tanks Ba! Used to dawn 'Secos' regularly. When there was no surf I'd drive my VW bus up into the hills fold out the bed and sleep. Lots of good memories.
Fun, great music!
Merry Christmas
Thanks! Merry Christmas to you, too!
such a nice spot, wish I had something like this near me!
You're a lucky man, if that was my home break with those conditions it would be packed.
Nice!
Ripping! Looks like the new board goes well.
Thanks!! It’s a good all arounder.
last week the waves were prime at tstreet
R.E. - Good to formally meet you. Waves were weak, but we made the best of the soft conditions, and it was just us. See you next time.
Yes! Same to you!
Fun! Happy Independence Day 🇺🇸
A fresh Surfer Yoda sesh on RUclips always makes my day!
Thanks, Joe! I miss surfing with YOU! We need to hit it soon.
I know swamis when I see it
Bad ass.never thought I’d see fun surf like this in that spot. Get after it.🤙
Good times
I hope you guys are real old...otherwise...
I recently bought the same board to use in small surf for a mess about, but I found it sits so high in the water making it so unstable compared to my mid length due to volume 😬 think you did well to even turn it.
Thanks! One thing I don’t like about foamie’s is that they will never feel or ride like anything in my fiberglass quiver. But I have to admit this is the first one I’ve had that mostly goes where I want it to go.
Good times!
Looks like everyone had a fun morning. Great footwork bro. 🤙🏾
Thanks, Joe! Miss surfin with you. I’ll be down that way again in August. I’ll let you know.
1,000 Steps Beach was secluded and so was Washington State. Not no more.
Everytime a camera show a location, it's less secret.
Epic!
Hahah that was rad 🤙🏽 🏄
