I used to drive great highway to work 5 days a week for 10 years. I'd always leave early, sit on the beach for a bit, then continue on. I have never seen waves like that there, ever. Unreal! Great vid.
The guy at 1:52 checking out the back for sets before he decides to enjoy that "inside" wall (still more power than most of the surfing world will see in a year). That's an Ocean Beach move, right there. Cause you pay for your fun and happiness in endless paddling and getting rinsed. Great video. Miss it.
Those dudes 1/2 mile out it looks.....they have some big locals(white sharks) in lineup there.....just a beast of a place.....cold water, paddle, sharks, monster current and shifty lineup
@@forwardobserver2048 doesn't matter how long you lived in SF, also doesn't matter if you are a competitive swimmer or not. You could just say SF water is too cold.
me too! I used to live in that neighborhood, favorite thing to do on a nice day was go get coffee at java beach and watch the waves and surfers! Thanks for the video :)
brings back memories. I used to surf off sloat when the pier was still there back in the 80s. I could see the waves from the house I lived in. Ice Cream Headaches.
Yep, me too, but it was the 90's for me. And as an added bonus for the effort, there was John's O.B. Cafe across the street for killer post surf grinds. Good times...
I have surfed OB many times. It’s a spooky place with dark Green water , heavy Rip-currents and Great whites. It’s a hard paddle through big green barrels thats are just spooky that’s the only way to describe it. A fun wave if you can get in just the right spot.
l really enjoyed the soundtrack but the end without the soundtrack is appreciated. It's amazing how loud big surf is. You can hear it pretty far inland- just a constant roar.
@@ba1428 I know, it's counterintuitive. You can't duck dive the bigger boards, but you need a board that will paddle fast between incoming waves. And you can get into waves earlier on the outside.
@@ba1428 Wow, that's awesome. I lived in Sydney for a bit but only surfed local beaches. Actually bought one of Nat's old boards. But my go-to board for anything over head-high at Ocean Beach was an 8-4 Michel Junod, 3" thick, a real meat wagon.
Great footage, your love for the place shines through.....sorry to be negative in previous comment :). OB is rad.....I've always been in pure terror mode when I've surfed there when it was like your images show.
Think I saw a video of a guy trying to paddle out for nearly a hour here the other day, dunno if it was the same wave, looks a tough paddle but definitely worth it.
Although OB is often too heavy for me to go out, I feel helllla lucky that this is my home break. So much power, personality, and beauty in that wave (if you can paddle out) + all at the end of the MUNI line.
Is the lineup super crowded on smaller days? I've never been to San Francisco, but I imagine it as 1 of the best cities you could ever see...the cityscape & the natural beauty combined, & then having something like Ocean Beach & Half Moon Bay for a playground. It seems dreamy to me...lol
Ahhhh amazing waves I always watch amazed riding the heavy waves with heavy music like Delta Parole or with relaxing music videos in background. If crazy like then always heavy tho
I was out on Ocean Beach this day and it was glorious. A lot of people watching surfers that day. Still confused about the opening shot showing the Pacifica Pier though. What's up with that!?
What up with not hitting those barrels? All the great waves you don't ride or it seems your boards are too slow. Only the body boarders were dropping in.
I have never surfed Mavericks. But I think 15 feet Ocean Beach is tougher than 30 feet Mavericks. The paddle to beat the shorebreak at OB is monster, there is no channel, and you always have to keep moving to avoid the riptides. At Mavericks there is a channel and as long as you keep close to the shoulder in the channel you can play it safe just watching and learning.

Some of the cleanest, biggest sets I’ve seen at OB, love the shot from the houses above, really gives perspective... Amazing video
Thank you i appreciate it! 🙏🏼
Colin...This is your Aunt Susie....Please be careful! Love ya!
haha thanks for watching!
So many guys out there to tame those monsters! OB locals are built different...
Right?! That paddle is gnarly!
Maybe!
those arent locals there mrhankys peanut crew they road the poo choo train all the way there

It’s pretty rare that it gets this good! Thanks for watching!
Once it gets over double over head you’ll find me on the beach getting drunk.
Hahahha, time to start training for next winter
hahah I think that goes for most people!
That's my limit
That sounds good!
That paddle out, not this guy! I will pop a few beers and spectate with you👊

Haha definitely gotta pick and choose your battles wisely out there!
Gorgeous camera work. Well done.
Thanks much appreciated 🤙🏼
when you drive down Fulton and you know from a mile away your NOT going out
I don't own a gun, that's my excuse
Same story here but from Lincoln side of the park
hahaha it was definitely heavy out there!
haha yep. i guess i can eat the rest of this burrito cuz i anit goin out!
Soy boys!
Those dudes 1/2 mile out it looks.....they have some big locals(white sharks) in lineup there.....just a beast of a place.....cold water, paddle, sharks, monster current and shifty lineup
definitely a decent ways out! and yeahh those big locals are what usually keeps me from swimming out. haha
Where in the video are the great whites? mm:ss?
11years in San Francisco. Competitive swimmer, scuba diver. Never more than ankle deep. Too cold!
@@forwardobserver2048 doesn't matter how long you lived in SF, also doesn't matter if you are a competitive swimmer or not. You could just say SF water is too cold.
Max R He’s giving a bit of context, it helps..
2:35 all that on one shot!! Great video
Thank you i appreciate it! Yeahh was stoked on that sequence!
I am not a surfer myself but find it awesome to watch surfers. This was a well done video.
Thanks we appreciate it!

All aspects of your capture--INCREDIBLE
Thank you! We appreciate it!
Truly Amazing. The way these waves just stood up. Thankyou so much for sharing.
thank you for watching!
Great video. Thank you for putting it together. Such a majestic beast.
Glad you enjoyed it!
I've been watching from the shore all week. I'm glad you were there to capture and edit it together so well. Great work!
Such a great video! Those guys are brave AF. Miss my hometown....
Thanks for watching! They are definitely brave!
Just beautiful. That was a great day and I am sure that OB does not get that perfect very ofter. I bet those guys were absolutely stoked.
Thanks for watching! it is pretty rare for it to get this good!
Doesn't get any better than that at Ocean Beach. Nice videoing, drone coverage and surf music. What song is that?
thank you! and the song is hint of the sea by Glories
Beautiful, your opening shot and @6:31 were so dope. And, ya, all that surfing. You make awesome films!
Thank you! We appreciate it!
Love this !! Great videography, music and nice raw surfing, with some outrageous drops. Well done
Thank you! I appreciate it!
So glad you made this video, I spend a lot of time down at the beach (Rivera) ,but i knew that day was special
Awesome thanks for watching! It was an epic day for sure!
Looks like a serious workout.... So many stories about this place
a serious workout for sure1 thanks for watching!
This video exemplifies the attitude surfers develop. Going with/riding nature. Maybe you can describe it better than me...
thank you! thanks for watching

yeah its a very intimidating spot forsure! thanks for watching!
Epic music and dream waves for those that have the ability which only comes with the effort put in :) Nice video :)
Thanks a lot! we appreciate it!
You go body surfer dude !! Ride those beasts !! Someday I will be there, better hurry up , not too many 45 minute paddle outs left in me!
hahah I think he was the only bodysurfer out! that paddle out is gnarly!
The bodysurfer caused me to subscribe. Keep it up.
Thanks we appreciate it! 🙌🏼
Beautiful day, seriously heavy waves, great film, committed surfers
thank you for watching!
These are the waves i wish for, we don't get waves like these here in Perth Australia, great filming
Awesome thanks for watching!
It's actually rare here, only a few times a year when it's like this. Often blown out, but I still love it.
Beautiful footage!
Many thanks!
Beautiful! Thanks for sharing. Greetings from the Netherlands.
Thank you! Cheers!
Much respect to OB. I used to paddle out in my early twenties and it would be so brutal my lips would tingle from lack of oxygen.
At my age, my lips tingle for lack of oxygen from watching it. Lol!
Damn....my arms are tired just watching this. Heavy...thanks for the vid!
yeahh that paddle is no joke! thanks for watching!
Wow. Nicely done. Good surf well filmed.
thank you we appreciate it!
Pretty heavy man! I’ve heard the currents are relentless at OB, the sultanas and raisins can be aggressive
it was heavy out there for sure! thanks for watching!
Awesome what a great day!
Hats off to you guys making that paddle out..
thanks for watching!
Big big BIG great whites in those water.. swell was pumping though
Yep! That’s why i choose to stay on shore! Hahah
Risk it for the biscuit as they say!
Where are the great whites? mm:ss?
@@meismax you sick of repeating yourself?
Where are the great white sharks?
l really enjoyed the soundtrack but the end without the soundtrack is appreciated. It's amazing how loud big surf is. You can hear it pretty far inland- just a constant roar.
awesome glad you liked it! plenty more on the way
Wow
cold but beautiful
Very cold forsure! And thank you!
Great job! Well done!
Thanks much appreciated! 🙌🏼
Wow, like a wave machine
thats what it looked like! haha
Awesome vid, the surf up here in the Bay area has been epic the past week..
thank you for watching!
Beautiful waves ! Thanks
Thanks for watching! 🤙🏼
Nat Young is the standout anytime it gets big here. That's him at 7:06 with a sick drop in.
Yep! Nat young is always scoring when OB turns on!
Ironically it's easier with the bigger board to get out (to the line up) on heavy days. Sometimes the only way.
@@ba1428 I know, it's counterintuitive. You can't duck dive the bigger boards, but you need a board that will paddle fast between incoming waves. And you can get into waves earlier on the outside.
@@ba1428 Yah no problem...I was just adding more color commentary. I did not think you were disagreeing :)
@@ba1428 Wow, that's awesome. I lived in Sydney for a bit but only surfed local beaches. Actually bought one of Nat's old boards. But my go-to board for anything over head-high at Ocean Beach was an 8-4 Michel Junod, 3" thick, a real meat wagon.
Thx for posting. This made my day.
Glad you enjoyed it!
it was sooo fun! Great footage! Now time for round 2 :) :) :)
Yes it was! and our video of round two is gunna be on the channel later today!
This was awesome man thanks!
Thanks for watching! 🙌🏼
Great footage, your love for the place shines through.....sorry to be negative in previous comment :). OB is rad.....I've always been in pure terror mode when I've surfed there when it was like your images show.
thank you we appreciate it! and yeah the high tide was killing a lot of barrel potential! haha
Yeah I wish I could keep my heart rate down when it's pumping. That doesn't help when you get clobbered.
I have never seen such huge pipes at OB. Insane.
It was pretty insane! Thanks for watching! 🤙🏼
Think I saw a video of a guy trying to paddle out for nearly a hour here the other day, dunno if it was the same wave, looks a tough paddle but definitely worth it.
Wall after wall after wall after wall
Yep probably happened to many people yesterday!
Yes, you are correct, it was here.
Take about 50 on your head just to get outside.
the nature of a beach break.
I miss it there. Seems like you guys have been having a great year....
It has definitely been a great start to the season!
Wow, I did not realize that OB had such a definite peak.
There’s dozens of peaks up and down the beach. Just depends on the sandbar set up!
Although OB is often too heavy for me to go out, I feel helllla lucky that this is my home break. So much power, personality, and beauty in that wave (if you can paddle out) + all at the end of the MUNI line.
its a pretty special place for sure! thank you for watching!

@@0clockedin0 It is dreamy! It can get crowded, but even small days can be a tough paddle out which minimizes crowds for sure.
That music is deceptively calm and peaceful. (My opinion)
thanks for watching!
Great vid man!
Thank you i appreciate it!
Amazing footage well done bru!
thanks we appreciate it!
Urban goodness......awesome.
thank you for watching!
Great video. Nice job. 👏🏻🌞
thank you!
Awesome video. Pretty sure the opening shot is the pier at Sharp Park, not OB. Doesn't detract a bit from the piece though.
Great edit
Thanks!
Love this 💕
thanks for watching!
love this!
Awesome thanks for watching!
Pumping surf...but not many makeable waves. At least the guys get to say "Yeah, I surfed OB today"
Ahhhh amazing waves I always watch amazed riding the heavy waves with heavy music like Delta Parole or with relaxing music videos in background. If crazy like then always heavy tho
Cheers from NZ! Surfed there in 81 - almost empty.
Awesome! Thanks for watching! It’s definitely more crowded nowadays!
great video! seems about as good as it could get there 🤙
It was! thanks for watching
That paddle must blow!
never done it but Im sure it does!
Yup. It was a major accomplishment just making it out to the sets. Relentless inside section and major currents made you work for it. Whew...
Love these wawes usually wawes in san francisco don’t have barrel, unfortunatly I didn’t get to go out there yesterday
yeahh its pretty rare to see spitting barrels out there!
5:00 what a ripper!
Was a ton of rippers out there!!
Proud to call this home. Thanks for the awesome footage!! Where you planning to go out next Tuesday?
thansk for watching! gunna try to get on a boat for Mavs, but if not I will be at OB mid morning through the afternoon
Looks heavy, a few people out there got their ambitions mixed up with their ability, kudos for having a go but.
definitely some guys out there that should've stayed on the sand
I was out on Ocean Beach this day and it was glorious. A lot of people watching surfers that day. Still confused about the opening shot showing the Pacifica Pier though. What's up with that!?
I boogie Ocean Beach for more than 20 years, never went out when it was big like this
awesome! I havent boogied out there yet and I probably wouldnt at this size either
Boogie late 70’s early 80’s OB instead of class at wash HS 😎
Shaw and Vann lol bet u know um
Lived up in SF and surfed OB 20 years ago. What a beautiful day.
Hey, when did OB get a pier? Opening clip shows a pier...
Awesome thanks for watching! The opening shot is Pacifica pier!
The pier at Sharp Park. Just north of Pacifica.
That’s ptown in the first shot
Yes it is!!
@@AvidMedia awesome
You're #1
Geez. I doubt I'd even be able to paddle out in that!
It’s a difficult paddle forsure!
you got that right ..
I love my plant...it’s gorgeous!
i assume you mean planet. haha and yes it is!
@@AvidMedia you assume correctly...thanks👍
Awesome.
Thank you! 🤙🏼
Mavericks has been gigantic recently as well.
Yes it has! I have a video up of Mavericks as well!!🤙🏼
@@AvidMedia If you haven’t seen it yet. Check out the video of Grant Baker paddling in on that monster a couple days back at Mavs. Incredible!
‘You’re gonna need a bigger boat’
haha true!
unreal video. does cabbage patch break anymore?
thank you! not sure where that is so couldnt tell you if it still breaks. haha
@@AvidMedia I think he meant potato patch
What up with not hitting those barrels? All the great waves you don't ride or it seems your boards are too slow. Only the body boarders were dropping in.
Haha i know i wish more guys pulled into those barrels!
I have never surfed Mavericks. But I think 15 feet Ocean Beach is tougher than 30 feet Mavericks. The paddle to beat the shorebreak at OB is monster, there is no channel, and you always have to keep moving to avoid the riptides. At Mavericks there is a channel and as long as you keep close to the shoulder in the channel you can play it safe just watching and learning.
I have to agree with you. OB has a way harder paddle out and I would think more current than Mavs
Where are you launching the drone from? GGNRA is a no fly zone. You don't catch static?
Just launched it from the beach. Didn’t know it was a no fly zone. I usually get a notification letting me know but it didn’t pop up. No static at all
When a group of brown pelicans fly overhead....
Haha thanks for watching!
You spelled San Francisco wrong. Change it so you get more views!! This video is soo good!
Hahaha i didn’t even notice! I’m surprised no one said anything sooner!
@@AvidMedia Haha I am too! Great shooting!
Gotta be the best big city surfing on earth...& then Mavericks a little further south.
Yep a pretty epic area for surf!!
Still waiting for my Ted's post Turkey day dessert.
hahaha hoping to come back soon! ill bring one over
My Backyard. SSF In The House! Great Spot For Wave RidN'! I Know 1st Hand!
oh wow someone has access to a drone and the rights to progressively dramatic music
Hmm not exactly sure what this comment is supposed to mean 🧐
Never seen Ocean Beach get waves like this before! What song is used in the background?
its pretty rare for it to get this good! and the song is a hint of the sea by Glories
Beautiful❤️
Thank you! Cheers!
The sickest wave went unridden @ 5:06
Thank you for watching! 🙌🏼
@@AvidMedia you're welcome! Awesome video, thanks for sharing
How cold is the ocean this time of year in North California, below 40f?
53-57F.
yep usually in the low to mid 50's
Two words “ lands end “ two more words “ surfs up “ Kieth one word !
1:24 Majestic shot! beautifull and terrifying at the same time. How deep is it there? You have some rocks or just sand?
No rocks but big white sharks.....although don't think anyone been hit there that have some big fish there
@@kirkdunn1379 I see now, it's not so far from Mavericks Half Moon Bay, scary location 😅
not too shallow, and its mostly just sand but still a heavy wave none the less
Sand bottom, but heavy waves, often even when small. Lucky it's my local.
@@weareyouthere Looks like it, hope i can visit sometime to see you guys charge on a big swell. Cheers and happy new year from Ventura SoCal.
Wow
Impressive
Thanks
thank you for watching!
How was the paddle out?
I would assume pretty difficult. haha
