Your description of the winter time off shore wind surfing is spot on. I grew up in Pensacola and went to a high school that was near a plant with a smoke stack. I would keep my eye on the stack and the moment the wind shifted from the north, I would get to the beach as quick as possible. That was 50 years ago, some things never change.
Right on. Thanks bro! Yeah that’s my top video of all time. Over 10,000 views now. Last time I talked to Ben Gravy at Foam Wreckers he even said that “Bombs for Breakfast” video of mine always pops up on peoples feeds that he sees. Had to laugh at that. Miss surfing the pier for sure. Hopefully it’ll come back soon…
Whoa! I got there too late! I was surfing the inside. The outside wasn't working when I was there later that morning. I sure would like to have caught that big wave that the paddle boarder caught. Thanks for the vid!
I live and surf in Corpus Christi Tx. We have a lot of wind swell but typically disorganized with short intervals . Like anywhere, we occasionally have our good days after cold fronts or tropical weather but other than that it is mostly wind chop. My question is how consistent is the surf in this area of FL. We are trying to plan a little vacation but don’t really like airline prices right now or covid tests so my wife is pushing Destin real hard. I know it’s nice and I can fish and stuff but I really want to score some waves. Do I have any chance of standing up during July? I know it can rock with a hurricane but u can’t plan for that. Is it flat that time of year without a storm. Just looking for some info. Thanks
Glad to see that south finally get kickin for yall. Been so many north wind days this passed couple of months. Good for here in TB but a bummer for the Panhandle. Hopefully those big spring warm up south winds start to blow by the Yucatan Channel and just sits there pumping south/southeast wind as a stalled out front over the northern gulf keeps the winds light and variable. Sure hope that's the case. We get some good south refraction swell that bends in when that happens and it goes off up there. I'm going to destin in June for 4 days. Hoping it's during an active period and I get to ride those emerald coast swells that are marching elephants on the horizon down here.. Glad you got it good. Hopefully more to come but current forecast no bueno.
Haha cool way to look at it. Never thought of it that way. But as far as the views go, this is by far my most viewed video. 16K and still going….Thanks for checking it out. Stay stoked 😎🤙🏼
I lived in Cinco Bayou (FWB) in the 80s. Nobody surfed in the cold months, we’d just surf choppy summer and early fall storms. Burned down house near the officers club was the spot. I don’t recall ever seeing anyone with a paddle. My how things have changed.
Yeah I started surfing FWB in about 1985 and it has definitely changed a lot since then. After Hurricane Opal in ‘95 NCO and Officers club got shut down to the public. Colonel’s near NCO still goes off on the right swell. I think that’s the burned down house your referring too. Anyway, thanks for watching 😎🤙🏼
@@Surferjoefwb Its likely we surfed near each other. I went to school at FWB HS class of 87. Neat story: I was fishing off of the Okaloosa pier one day and there was some guys surfing on the east side of the pier. A huge hammerhead came around and and was circling under them. We started yelling bro those guys to get out. I wonder if that happens much anymore there.
@@estebanmiguel6019 actually there’s been record numbers of tiger sharks at the pier and Destin Pass the last couple summers. But they don’t seem to bothers anyone. It’s actually a sign of a healthy ecosystem. Go figure 🤣
i just moved to Ormond beach this week and the thing they DONT tell you about Florida is how freakin COLD it is. Everyone wearing booties. Its 55 Degrees tonight (October 22, 2022). I dont have a sweatshirt and I havent seen a single bug yet
I'm heading down there this Friday for 2 weeks. I came to boogie board. Will my 3.2 wetsuit keep me warm enough? I've never been to the beach in the winter. I desperately want to get in the water and have fun.
@@Surferjoefwbbody boarding yesterday and the previous week was amazing! I'm having a blast.... Catching back to back waves for 8 hours a day right in line Beach Pointe condos... So glad I got the wetsuit gloves and hood! I love the cold water
Looking at a map I see you have a rather narrow swell window. I guess you have to be ready to drop everything and go when the opportunity is there. I know just how that is.
Yeah you hit the nail on the head. Thankfully with todays surf forecasting apps we can plan ahead about 5 days. I remember before the internet having a Radio Shack weather radio. That combined with Weather Channel local on the 8’s we could get maybe a 2 day warning. Thanks for watching 😎🤙🏼
@@Surferjoefwb I doubt that ! I was a surfer and surf photographer starting in 1975. I remember Porpoise Pit, Shark Pit , Pierless At PAFB, . I surfed with Kelly when he was just a kid. Claude Cogins, Mike Purpose, Greg Loehr,Gary Propper were all my friends! Don't be butthurt...Florida's East Coast is just better than the Gulf Coast....AND my old friend Yancey Spencer agrees!
fuck hose sup kooks. nice video though i lived and surfed in tx for wo yeats coming from 36 years of so cal and nor ca. was very impressed with consistensy and quality. much love to gulf surfers
Wow Rachel! Sounds like you need a hug. Not sure what your definition of a “real” surfer is but here on the Gulf Coast of Florida we surfers have a great time and are grateful for each and every day of waves we get. Stay stoked 😎🤙🏼

Yeah some things never do change. That’s a cool story with the smoke stack and all. Thanks for sharing it and watching the video. Stay stoked 🤙🏼
Impressive waves. I had no idea there was surf like that in Destin area. Great videography and storytelling
Hey Steve! Thanks dude! Great to meet y’all today. Should have BSR video up within a few days.
This is such a fun video to go back and watch. So much character in this.
I really wish the pier would break like this again
Right on. Thanks bro! Yeah that’s my top video of all time. Over 10,000 views now.

Whoa! I got there too late! I was surfing the inside. The outside wasn't working when I was there later that morning. I sure would like to have caught that big wave that the paddle boarder caught. Thanks for the vid!
Yeah that was a bomb for sure!
Now you know why I told you I was playing hookie!

That was the wave of the day🤙SUP actually helped the boogie rider not to take to deep and ruin the ride😎you’re gonna get views on this for years👌

FUN STUFF..keep up the vlogs GG
Thanks bro! Will keep trying. 😎🤙🏼
Great day that morning. Had a blast!
Yessir! I tried to get a few of y’all on the inside but the battery went dead on my camera.

Thanks bro! 😎🤙🏼 Yeah fun day!
Looks like fun!
Indeed it was!! 😎🤙🏼

Yeah buddy! Definitely ready for some Fall waves and weather. 😎
GREAT video and waves!!!! Do you happen to know who the boogie bodyboarder is? thanks!!!!
Thanks bro! His name is Noel. That’s all I know. 🤙🏼😎

Hey buddy, can we get the dimensions of that Mayhem!? Model / size?! That thing looks sick!!
Yeah man it’s 5’ 6” 33 liters. Lost… Puddle Jumper.
That was an 8ft wave, biggest I’ve seen on any of your videos 😮 was do you mean by “closed out” ?
He couldn’t go left or right. Just had to go straight.
youre high if that wave is 8 feet!🤣🤣😂😂
8’ Florida 🤣🤙🏼

No one on the right into the pier, ashamed 😢

A total closeout mess! That's considered a bad day at Cocoa Beach!!
I’ve surfed plenty of close outs over in Cocoa beach too. Way before you were born. Stay stoked cha cha 😎🤙🏼

Very good. He’s my hero!
@@Surferjoefwb I saw your cameo at el slamo

@@Surferjoefwb I'm not sure when it was but I recognized you immediately from surfing the pier with you.

Can't stand those sup guys in their neon canoes

Any real surfer on Floridas gulf coast would move to the East Coast.
