Surfing San Diego December 2018

This particular reef is very difficult to surf. It breaks like Pipeline yet it shifts, breaks sporadically, walls up, closes out and if your lucky is magnificent. My hat is off to those who even attempt to master it's bowls and sections. The reef is covered with crevices, fishers and caves. I have surfed it and triumphed and failed. No one will ever master this wave on a day like this. Produced and directed by Adrian Z. Music by The Inventors.

[@Nuwavesd]

[@jimsurfnfish8089]

Wow bra! Big stand up pits throwing spit and looking heavy, San Diego got some juice dat I never knew about- go get it dogs!

[@Nuwavesd]

thanks

[@nickbunt5542]

Wow thought I was watching pipe for a moment there....

[@Nuwavesd]

No fooling

[@clarkewi]

The left does look like Pipeline.

BIG ROCK

[@Elexmage]

I know it well and to learn it, there are dues extracted and reef to be bounced off. It was epic last week Monday at 12-15 ft. Huge, hollow, glassy and hungry. Funny, there were no takers that day.

[@Nuwavesd]

You’re right I was there Monday. Sometimes it just takes one brave soul to show us that it can be done like the first “crazy Haole” ( A quote from Greg Noll) that paddled out at Wiamea Bay In the late 50’s

[@jclm4188]

i didnt hear ' my wave' all day monday, j haffey made it look easy

[@benjaminhoopes561]

I was at marine that day.

[@jimmccarley9609]

There are some who call me Shoe, cause I put shoes on horse feet. Maybe one day I will get to surf here. Cool video, like the tune.

[@Nuwavesd]

Thanks

[@airportchronicles199]

Sweet action!

[@Nuwavesd]

You know it

[@DavidAtchison121]

Nice!!

[@Nuwavesd]

Thanks!

[@roscoedolittle5975]

Nice colors. Very heavy. I continue to miss every swell event with a broken finger. November 12 was my injured date. Can u imagine?Keep sending videos. I got to stay strong,stoaked and relaxed at the same time. I'm ready to cut a bitch to be honest.

[@Nuwavesd]

I totally understand. I have had many injuries in my surfing career. It can be so discouraging and at times depressing when thing like that happens. It’s important to stay in shape during your rehabilitation then when the green light avails itself again-you are ready.

[@jairogarcia4010]

what surfing spot is that , I'll be moving there

[@roberthiggins986]

looks like Rockslides to me...the right is a dead giveaway

[@Nuwavesd]

Sorry mate can’t say

[@SenorNutellq]

looks like pipe

[@Nuwavesd]

Yes but scarier. Shifty and a 50/50 make.

[@anotherworldviewispossible]

@@Nuwavesd I notice that you seem to focus on the 'shoe over the 'rock... Personally, my favorite 'shoe is on a South swell...Winter is too unpredictable and shifty for me... I tend do lean towards the lounge or Blacks, on big Winter days (when I come down).

[@azedtv7654]

@@anotherworldviewispossible Yeah I love the colors there and I love the unpredictable nature of that reef. If I get a good one it's so special and scary. One of my most memorable waves is there. Locket in and allowed to escape. Kind of like a car reck..;-)

[@jneumonik]

Great video! Which break is this?

[@favorites51066]

Shit.. horseshoes is one of the heaviest waves in the world. That's all there is to it. It may not look that gnarly. But go ahead and paddle it out and try and drop in on some of these lefts.
That one dude at the beginning is one experience badass. Most people would have flipped Head over heels trying to take off on that lip. Horseshoes will humble you

[@iankearns9671]

Surfed horseshoes the Sunday before the swell. It was firing but not like this

[@Nuwavesd]

yeah she a fickle place
