Been surfing "small waves" since '63. I got into it in Pampano Beach where my dad taught me how to swim in the ocean. He moved to Santa Barbara (Rincon) and then retired to West Palm. I moved to West LA in '58 right before the movie "Gidget" came out and grew up surfing Malibu etc. After '75 I lived in NorCal (Santa Cruz / Half Moon Bay) and watched Clark and West Siders start towing huge Mavericks in Oct. 1998. Now I live in New Zealand. Towing is great but not in crowds on small days. Cheers.
That is not Reef Road. The Reef Road spot faces private homes most of which are one story. One former resident that allowed me to park in his driveway was the late Charles Gerlach. I mean his home was right there dead center to the break. Charles owned the Ande Monafiliment (SP?) fishing line company.I had the best day ever at the spot in 1978 when it was eight feet and perfect. The ride was so long that if you wound it out all the way to the end you would have to take a cab to get back in the lineup. There is of course a reef and when a big perfect swell comes in at an angle is just keeps breaking parallel to the beach.You don't get closer to the shoreline in other words.
nice.. thats quite a background! but honestly to be fair, there was 1 guy out in this video.. and he was probly taking turns towing in with the other guy..
do you surf???? with a ski, I can boost 3-4 ft airs/ sick turns on two foot waves... without a ski, uhh pretty much nothing i wouldent paddle out.. see the difference
@danksta8toes You must be referring to that day.I have 'taken the drop in front of the rocks,make the bottom turn and keep riding into the inlet' plenty of times.What are you some kind of history revisionist?Do tell...
At :39 both the Surfer and the Dolphin are touching the water. Great vid!

Looks like fun surf, but why the need to tow in?
...and it's the Lake Worth Inlet, not Palm Beach Inlet.

Why tow into 2 foot waves?
random dolphin at the end

What a kook towing in on that
some idiots out there on 5 ft surf ruining the rest of the waves with the ripples from the jet ski.
@sushiroll01 maybe 3 and a half
dolphin photobomb at the end
