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.
Wet sand is like concrete. A good size breaker can snap your neck like a twig slamming you into the sand. Highlighted reply J Doe 16 hours ago Is it more dangerous to in a way? Like do the waves not push you to the bottom further out?
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!!!
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!
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 RUclips 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.
''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.
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.
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.
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 👍👍👍
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.
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
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?
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
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-
Wait... before my comment gets any more likes... I may have confused The Wedge with Shorebreak at Waimea. Either way, they're both absolutely BRUTAL. I learned about bolth from watching Who Is J.O.B., the Jamie O'Brien reality show on RUclips.
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.

Is it more dangerous to in a way? Like do the waves not push you to the bottom further out?

@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

@@spynapple4105 Ha, you just made my day. I'll be sure to tell that one to my chiropractor! 😛
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?
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.
4:49 wave of the day
The commentary on these videos are always top tier
I could actually feel myself getting ground into the beach.
Awesome job guys, really impressive
@6:42 funniest wave clips of all time down to the finish where his friend pets him lolol
These guys are our true surfies. “ go out in anything and have great fun”. “ don’t care attitude. Fantastic 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
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!
''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?
@@fredrikandersson3885 he never said those where the "only" true surfers, just that they were aswell. you are the one trying to divide it

That was the ride of the day.
1:51 my husbands good for cheating
LOL what the fuck
“My husbands good for choosing swells”
Like if you mind surfed the wave at 0:50 a million times....
bro I did loll and also at 1:15
Stop asking for likes
like if you dont like to ask for likes
donkey
Yeah
0:15
oh that´s look normal... WhAt ThE F*****
Ikr bahahha

That was insane
People have become permanently paralyzed doing this. These people are incredibly athletic but taking a huge and crazy risk.
this gives me so much anxiety but I can't stop watching these videos😂😬
3* World Champ Ripping. Blair Conklin. WTH Fins on skim?
Shit is bananas bra
: )
joe Dirt it’s built like a wakesurf board lmao
1:02 that looks like one of those moments where everything goes slow-motion in your vision. it looks so fun
Wow. Some of the most crazy waves / surfing I've ever seen. Like the wipeouts as well haha.
4:49 ughhhhh
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.

Shut up cringe lord

WICKED
@@Sector_07 are you stupid?
@@MrCScottie I didn't know the meaning then
4:50 This guy was so deep that the wave spit before he even came out. Great shot; great ride.
0:17 what was that
constructive interference
@@ashfrick5958 Thanks
Both waves bumped into each other
Water Bending.
@@pitucaacadela295 yes.
That is the funnest looking shore dump I've ever seen. That wedge is GNARLY...
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
“Tiny surfboards”
did he mean skimboards lmfao
These waves are vicious! I felt my neck snap like 10 times watching this.
Body wamping. I grew up at the beach. I did this for years. A lot of fun. Great video.
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.
That's the "wedge" at newport beach!!
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.

What city is this? Long beach / Huntington beach?
@@MikeKollin Seal Beach California. Just north of Huntington Beach, six miles south of me here in Long Beach
That quad fin skimboard is the way to go!!
1:04 is definitely on my bucket list
Lol I never saw the ocean throw someone into the air like that
1:04. omg you have to look let's hope he's ok
He is
A new meaning to the phrase " go pound sand".
Respect for even trying to ride the waves in the first place
Dang those were huge you guys are insane great job!
Blair is a beast at the wedge & shore breaks in general! 🔥

1:03 not gonna lie flying like that looks fun lol
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.
1:02 I WANT TO BE A BIRD OCEAN
Ocean: Really?👍👏👍fly so my little bird :3
Just another reason to love California. The surfing the babes The scenery it has it all

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
It's good to be young. I enjoyed this stuff in the 80s and 90s.

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.
What beach is this? I would love to go there and see those waves
you spelled surfboard wrong anyone notice?
Haha I did not actually
i surf pretty good and i pay most respect to style of surfers and you guys have got it

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.
Looks like South Side Seal Beach..??
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
Yeah but for the same reason you are much more likely to break your neck 1:03 3:12
Ites
I can't believe there's so many thumbs down. This is very crunchy n tasty footage.
Looks like south side seal beach?
This guy on his skimboard is having fun!
3:12 that man broke his back
“I’M NOT A CONTORTIONIST- OW”
I started surfing like a month ago, why is surfin on the shore break bad?
This is seal beach correct?
I say yes South Side pier
Is that San Diego - Tijuana border?
Dude at 1:00 gets WRECKED!!! hahaha
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-
1:02, that was fun! Do it again!!
I miss days like that. How was The Point at 19th street that day?
3:12 hit solid ground lol
2:57 too
sorry about the title but this is close to perfection...wounderful!!!!
Austin Keen at the end with the personal photographer lol...that was kinda funny 😂. Idk why
1:02 that is gnarly dude
Me apaixonei por essa praia ❤
Is that Newport Beach near Balboa island?
Seal Beach be pumping lol
Seal Beach, yeah, right! Or was it the left?
Is this the wedge
Falling head first is how you break your neck in these kinds of waves.
Yer mom.
Is this the Wedge in Newport Beach?
That’s how I broke my board once lmao
Where is this? My guess would be the Wedge in CA
FYI: There have been numerous fatalities, neck breaks, back breaks, bone breaks, quadriplegics and paraplegics here.
Wait... before my comment gets any more likes...
I may have confused The Wedge with Shorebreak at Waimea. Either way, they're both absolutely BRUTAL. I learned about bolth from watching Who Is J.O.B., the Jamie O'Brien reality show on RUclips.
Where is this
8:08 he thought he was in deeper water 😂
Seal beach 1973, barrels and Nick broke his board on the pier! Still critical.

Isn’t that south side of seal beach pier
money money looks like it
Some wedge, some seal Beach south side
This is south of 13th Street in Seal Beach. l surfed it back in the early sixties- Cheata
Nailed it
Short hair Blair? I'm starting to realise that the more I watch him, the more I realise he's one of the best barrel riders I've ever seen :o
1:04 wtf did he just do
Ah, Seal Beach… I loved bodyboarding the winter swell breaks. Hated the sinus infections from basically surfing in sewage.
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
The video should be called. "kook got a new camera"
Que praia é essa? Com essas ondas enormes tão próximas da areia?
We, in newengland have been doing this for centuries, old hat.
