Gotta give Travis Logie and Dane Zaun an A for effort. It would have been worth it IF the sand bar was working. Thanks for watching! I'm Brad Jacobson and I'll sea ya on the sand.
I am now almost 57 years old and surfed this place decades ago… 80s and 90s. I turn your channel on watch the latest video while I’m brushing my teeth in the morning. I am magically whisked back to some of the best days of my life as a teenager surfing the Southbay. Thanks so much Brad.
This duck dive bs is East Coast Florida any time it gets size. As far as wave shape, Floridas Cocoa Bch etc areas have mostly small trashy surf. Thats one main reason Crawford, Slater, and the Hobgoods excelled in larger, better shaped waves. Its because they ripped Floridas every day garbage.
Any surfer will tell you paddling out is more than half the battle a lot of the time. The water is to deep here that’s why the waves are slow and just mush instead of pitch. Looks better from the beach then it actually is.
I've got hip dysplasia from big wave surfing... I got drilled hard, slammed like a pancake by fifteen-foot race outsider on Christmas day when I was 17. Now I'm 53 and there's no padding between my femur 🦴 and my pelvic bone and you can't imagine the pain I go through daily. Going through all the hoops just to get a hip replacement now. Just the same, this still brings back other great memories for me. Shaka 🤙🏼
Mush or closeout days are pretty common when it's overhead here in Florida, my solution is grab the 7 foot foamie and glide into the sets and hold on and see what happens
I was there, really hard to catch waves, and the good peaks were mostly taken.. the usual. Still was impressed by the amount of people out on such size surf. I was there for an hour and got one wave myself that mushed out. I like the commentaries too, fun vid!!
funny they went home an told everyone they killed it won the contest an caught 40' plus waves, naw just kidding, they had a great day an at least got a great workout. some day's are good some day's not so good but they went out an that's half the job the other part is having fun, made my day keep the stoke no bad day's
Nice looking waves though still ,thank you Brad for the video ! Maybe the sand bar had enough from those bigger swells" but still pretty nice out there size wise !
I grew up sponging in SoCal, then I went to Hawaii, and when I returned to CA, I simply stopped surfing because SoCal is such freezing cold junk waves compared to HI. Endless closeouts, crowds, nothing interesting. Once you surf Hawaiian power, it changes everything.
I was going to say the same thing with the first two guys that were trying to catch it on the inside if they weren't panning out why don't you paddle up the further and see if you can catch some of those nuggets as Tanner did. I mean you just getting the crap beat out of you anyway. Again great job of getting the video on this Epic 2 weeks of surfing. RLTW 3/75

@@11bravo18 cam richards to he’s from my hometown garden city sc and rips any wave now
I like this more-narration, no-music surf video- it plays to you strengths and avoids IMO a shortcoming.
Love your old school style Brad. Got some Endless Summer vibes for sure.
With the narration, it felt like I was watching The Endless Summer. Cool!
Exactly

A rip is a good way to get out if there is one.
Story of the entire south bay lol. Can get plenty of swell but never has the sand for it to shape up

The paddle out seems wicked! 🤙🏽

The narration you put together for this is very Bruce Brown-esque!

Thanks for not having any music, it seems a lot better to just hear the ocean sounds like this.

Logie picking a wave for himself with the same ability that he screws over the WSL calls with

... reminds me of most days
Awwwww had to duck 66 times 😂
“ they were really mushy or they were closing out”. Isn’t that what the South Bay is all about?
You go, Soupy.
Where there’s waves moving the ocean is not flat just paddle and ride the waves in it doesn’t always have to be massive
Beach of the closeouts!
That "one fun wave" is better than most surfers ever ride in their lives
Lol, what waves have you been surfing?
Was like that today too. u need a lot of foam to make it work.
Port goes off with shape a few time a year.
Oh cool you were at el porto I live near there awesome spot
Still watching 😊 kids learned there in Summer

HAAAAAAAA! Thanks Brad!
Rosecrans whisperer 😆
Bruce Brown narration?
Brad is just as good! lol!
Ha, thought the same thing.
Thanks,Brad ! Wanted to pass this along to GoPro users with muddy audio: (YT) Dave Rat / Better GoPro Sound - No External Mic
What on earth did Travis Logie do get banished to the life of a surfer living in the South Bay?
He had a kid
Working for the WSL(Office in is LA), and making calls on when to run heats that are as shit as his choice of wave on this day.

HEY KID YOU SHOULDA BEEN HERE YESTERDAY

Tide changes as you're watching
The reef at Cardiff/Pipes can hold any size swell. You missed out. It probably will not happen again within your lifespan.
They only get a 1 hour lunch break at wokeSL.
pretty sure the parking lot is the only reason why anybody surfs there
Why not change plan when it's not working out?
Where is there ???
Thursday last week ?
6:03 gerry lopez costco snapped :(
2:48 this is flat for you? lolllllllllllll
Brad, What day was this?
Really sucks when the best person in the water has a frickn oar in his hand 🤦🏼♂️
That guy needs to take his elite SUP skills to the next level, imo. The logical starting point would be Lunada Bay! 🤙
wanna see how big waves are ridden?
tune in at 8am Sunday Hawaiian time
first
2nd
Stop riding high performance shortboards in mushy surf!
nice video quality. sigh.
Only kooks on the water 🤣🤦🏻♂️🔥🌊🤙
What's the stupid white arrow for?
Sick click bait title lol
Rosecrans. Sud afrik!
