Cold, rips, sharky, and the locals don't put up with barns. Much respect and love for this place. I may be back someday to get a sesh in, but I may choose a smaller day haha!

    Calm down haters it's a short video inside a bay of a spot where the waves are breaking from every direction, check it out some waves are breaking literally 90 degrees from how others break, plus an insane current due to the placement of the spot and an inconsistent takeoff point. And yeah these are just normal people. But nice job all the professional surf watchers in the comments lmao. Watched a few WSL contests and think they understand how to surf heh

      To your defense, unless anyone has ever surfed a heavy current and refracting waves, it’s a crap shoot on where to line up to and if you wanted to line up there, the current keeps you away. Bad placement will suck you out to sea.

PS Their is a secret spot inside the SF bay that breaks at very high tides with 2 sometimes 3 ft faces and endless lefts somewhere between San Mateo and Redwood City. The water is warm to and no their are no waves at Coyote Point.
