Old salty dog here, moved to San Clemente 45 years ago, surfed Killer Dana and Doheny when no harbor, no breakwater, etc., and other ancient sites! Watch you compete, love your surfing, your videos here, looking forward to more, wish you and your husband the best, love your attitudes,..going down to look at T Street….that foam at the pier was unreal the other day, never seen so much of it…have a good one!
I couldn't even get out to the line up Thursday, we went behind Leadbetter. I drifted from shoreline park to Sbcc in like 5 minutes. But Friday and Saturday was so fun!!
Coooooool viddd!!!! Hanging with hubby and pops... Sweet cryo and workout routine... It be nice to see some explosive workouts and surf specific strength and functional workouts... Greeeeaaaat content!!!! Go LAAAKEYYY GOOOOO!!!!! That's cool you highlight other Pro surfers and gnarly local surfers. Seeing other stuff outside the ocean is cool!!!
Hi!! It would be really interesting if you can break down surf techniques for popping up, turns, barrel riding etc. Hope Tom is getting ready for that shave!! Love your content, always rooting for you on the CT!!
We have Thursday episodes starting this week that will include videos on each of these. Stay tuned 😊 haha and yes, poor Tom is shaving his head today 😂
That Cryrotheraphy looked crazy! I think I'll give that a miss 😀 I'll check out the workout later in the week, and I'll watch the previous video again as well just to help Tom out 🤣
Love your channel , here’s my video suggestion how bout breaking down certain surf maneuvers like floaters roundhouse cutbacks explain body position arm movement what you look for how you set up . Hoping you inspire more women to push harder to improve there surfing and healthy living
Deeply relieved props to Tom for turning around the annoying neck and upper spine tilting headrest 180 degrees into breath opening leeway position of the drivers seat ! Makes driving simply more enjoyable in a natural seating position and therefore safer as well ( by taking this action you have added an important personal puzzle piece of mine for feeling less like a loner when taking care of my preciously therapeutical maintained loose and movable spine from the top down to the bottom every single vertebra by vertebra at any occasion . . .) ! Thank you Mister Tom, you are a true sir of a healthy integral physical feeling ! Remote kiss blow to beautiful ocean gemstone Lakey as well . . .
Really enjoying your videos Lakey! Great edit and overview and footage was excellent. I’ve got a son at ucsb enjoying the heck out of this year. He was in the Surf Happens crew as a grom too! Tom good point about Aussie accent- you don’t get to be a local anywhere but you get to marry Lakey- fair trade! Enjoy.
Great video! Can you share (in a future video) how you go about choosing your destinations- is it the swell, wave size, weather, or just an itch? Like watching videos, it looks like down by SD is the cleanest. Black beach, Seaside, and Swamis looks better than some of the places you drove past up by SB. Anyway, it's fun watching you surf !
I like this idea!!! It’s generally contest related however off-season we tend to tracks swells throughout different parts of the world.. extremely good question Jeff 🙌
❤ nice :) ive seen this video a few times, but this time i happened to notice my lil hero ripper powerhouse caroline marks killing it backside at rincon, or wherever that was, in your surf edit. seeing her always makes me happy :) today i avoided the point at c street (if thats 'surfers point' because there was a huge crowd of 5-7 long boarders out, on fairly decent little waves, and the parking lot was a chit chat scene of surfers that i did not feel like seeing / hearing while suiting up (what can i say, im antisocial :), so instead i went north to surf challenging closeouts, and got pitched twice on my first two attempts because i did not get into the wave early or deep enough, and was not fast enough on my feet for racing mostly closeout but sometimes fast spitting makeable barrels that happen occasionally, which was the temptation that had me charging it with stoke. after getting spanked twice on my first two attempts and pitched by the lip, luckily not too hard, and not injured, i simmered down into super cautious mode, and more so only had a look at passer by waves, with only a few being determined as maybe that would have been doable, many of them on the other side of the rip current that for a change was strangely pulling me north as opposed as to the typical south, and the rest being for sure full on pounding closeouts that i was wise to pass on. so basically i did not get anythingjj in todays uncrowded sesh, and felt a lil disappointed in myself for not getting tubed like i thought i would. in my defense, if i was on a thicker and wider 6'6" than the super high performancy probably way beyond my skill level) 6'2" rook 15 (not complaining though because i love that special board), i might have had more of a chance to take off a little earlier and deeper right at the peak, rather than trying to edge in on the shoulder with a steep (which is so much more difficult once the wave is walled and racing, than actually getting into it before it breaks) hectic waves. at least i paddled out though, and got some exercise, and got to enjoy watching some powerful waves throw sand spitting while continuing to further enjoy the process of paddling around inside and outside and trying to avoid pounding sets, while hunting for interim inside left hollow racing tubes. anyway, thats me. and now im outtie to take a much needed nap :)
Looks like typical Nov/Dec/Jan/Feb NW swell Rincon Day. but with some storm bump. I worked for a company on the bluff and was so fun surfing before work whenever there was swell.
Blacks and La Jolla looked BIG and clean. Seal looked clean and fun. The South Bay was pretty extreme... But the points and Sand Spit looked fun. I wonder how El Cap looked...
Love the video Lakey . 3 things Number1 Thomas is a lucky man and rips #2 Leakey you surf Rincon as well as Tom Curran who I witnessed in lineup many times in late 80’s #was that Carolina Marks at sands pit? Looked like her wicked backhand .
My problem I moved to the high desert in California back in 93 from the Ventura area I was a decent surfer for a decade I took up mountain biking about 5 years ago and I can do 28 miles and 3000 ft of elevation climb and ride 3 days a week with 6 or more hours of riding . I have also raced . My last in November. Now I have periodically went to the coast to surf but I am like a beginner . Yes I am in my early 60s but my biking gives me a fitness in my 40s . I would like to return to surfing but maybe once a month at best . What would you recommend to condition for surfing but can't do it enough to really get in surfing shape . I don't have access to a pool. I just started weightlifting and keeping it light . Shoulders and paddling is a big one to survive in the water any length of time and the pop up as that can suck up the energy. Cardio and lung capacity should be good from biking . I have a 10 foot single fin longboard and a 8 foot thruster with 4 other short boards from my past . Might need a different board . Any suggestions to get some fun in the water with not allot of time to do it .
Wow, sounds like your fit with the riding your doing Steven. Surfing is such a hard one… the paddle motion is so hard to replicate in a gym. Resistance band standing paddler holds is something that I do if I haven’t surfed for a while. It’s pretty much replicating the paddle motion into an isometric exercise.
Good question! I know a lot of the boys were up Santa Cruz way and scored big time... SB is prob the most user friendly area on bigger swells to attracts most the crowds and attention maybe???
Nice video, but I am confused, this is hyped as the biggest swell in decade, but rincon looked to be about 3-4 foot. It this the the wrong swell direction, wrong day, what is the explanation?
Haha Santa Barbara region really doesn’t get much swell at all. The day before this at Rincon was bigger however just washing through.. you’ll see that in the drone footage of Ventura point… our points don’t handle too much swell 😂
@@Lakey_Peterson Ty Lakey. I haven't surfed for about 10 years. I got super focused on my spiritual path then moved to Colorado. It's super fun to watch you and your partner Tom! I really appreciate your videos.
The only true locals are the ones that live in the ocean 24/7. The rest of the human race are just visiting their neighborhood for a bit, hopefully leaving nothing behind other than footprints. Thanks for the video my friends, good stuff indeed. Semper Fidelis!👍 👍

This is the video that I was anticipating and kept checking back for. I’m stuck in the hospital after a motorcycle accident so I’m missing out.
Ahhhh frick! Sorry to hear Jonah! Hope it’s not too serious and you heal up quickly..
@@Lakey_Peterson not terrible broken foot and road rash on my left side
@@Lakey_Peterson also good music choice to engage viewers
Hell up homey ❤
Get better dude !
you and tom are amazing guys! i’m following you from italy 🇮🇹
can’t wait to see more videos like this
its an honor
So glad your enjoying them! 🙌😊
Might or might not have stopped watching this video to rewatch last weeks to make sure the shave happens before I finished watching this one. 😁
Hahaha 😝 the clippers are ready for him this afternoon 😂

It’s surprisingly not as bad as an ice bath! But def still cold
Haha he’s shaving it today! We hit the 40k early this morning 😂😂
Nice to see where the pros will go during these massive swells it’s not only me looking everywhere and kinda getting whatever waves ❤😂
Haha exactly! I think everyone was in the same boat on this last swell 😂
Awesome Work out 💪 Lakey 🏋️♂️🤙🏴
Thanks John! Glad you enjoyed 🙌
Stoked!!
awesome video. Great athlete, super humble. Love this content. All the best from the UK!
Thanks Tim! Hope you’re scoring waves over there 😊

Love it! We have Thursday segments coming through that are going to include exactly that.
Nice job with the up-the-coast reel and RC highlights. The cryo-box looked like pricey cheddar. Keep writing and filming the liquid poetry!
Thanks Dave! I’m not completely sold on the cryro but going to try it a few more times to note any differences. Glad you enjoyed the vid 😊
Great Lakey!!! Nice to see you making the rounds in the local sands...
Thanks John! Ahhh yes, was one of those days that you kept hearing it was better elsewhere haha.

Ahhh yes! Tom has actually hurt his neck at teahupoo a few years back so does it for better posture too. Good minds think alike! 👌
Thanks for the Monday stoke. Be waiting Thursday for some back strengthening. Thanks 🤙
Glad you enjoyed Chris 🙌
props to the camera crew

love the mondo swell spot checks. never been to santa barbara but now it feels like i have.
Thanks Hugh! Glad you enjoyed! 😊
Nice, well done, San Clemente has a great car show and positive Qi. thanks
Epic to know Kailua!
Fine to see you you back out at the Rincon!
Thanks Martin! 🙌
Very much looking fwd to workout videos. Need something to do when it’s raining non-stop and water in SB gets too polluted to surf.
Thursday @10am .. we’ll try and do a monthly updated workout for you guys also
Great stuff Lakey !
Thanks

Blacks and La Jolla looked BIG and clean.
Seal looked clean and fun.
The South Bay was pretty extreme...
But the points and Sand Spit looked fun.
I wonder how El Cap looked...
Epic! I heard el cap was amazing! But didn’t check it myself.. just heard through the grape vine 😂
*You're a natural with the monologue 👌🏼*
Thanks 🙏
Two big hugs from Barcelona friends Lakey and Thomas 🌹 🤙
Thanks Marcelo! Hope you enjoyed ☺️
@@Lakey_Peterson much enjoy tanks friends
thanks for sharing this video :) watched the surfline all day and daydreamed about this swell
p.s I can feel the accent lol instant give away
Glad you enjoyed it 😀
I gotta use that workout at work since night shift is slow out here 😂 My lower back is something I gotta focus on getting stronger for sure
I’ve got a lower back mobility routine coming in 3 weeks on one of our Thursday episodes… that might help!
Sand Spit is so Awesome when it's Good 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
100%! Almost like a wave pool on a good day
I love the pants you’re wearing in the workout portion of your video! Can you share what they are? (I think Nike)
They are really cool lightweight Nike pants. I’ve honestly had them for 10 years now haha
Awesome workout! Please do some more often! :) (1'30'' and 1'42''! :))
Thanks Nadja! 😊
Mondossss 😂 throwback so 20 years ago when I started surfing 😂😂
Ahhhh love it!
EL Cap (Freight Train Rights) I hear was All time🌊🤙🏽🌊🤙🏽 it's in my Top 3 of Favorite Waves. ❤️❤️❤️
I heard that! So cool
Go Lakey
🙏
Love the video Lakey . 3 things
Number1 Thomas is a lucky man and rips
#2 Leakey you surf Rincon as well as Tom Curran who I witnessed in lineup many times in late 80’s
#was that Carolina Marks at sands pit? Looked like her wicked backhand .
Thanks Charles! Glad you enjoyed!
Ahh thank you! And yes that’s C marks shredding sand spit!
@@Lakey_Peterson hey Lakey do u and hubby planning on making a mini Lakey or a mini Tom?
Being an Aussie Tom should be running a Mullet after 50000 views. #straya
I’ll put this forward to him 😂
Oh no, Tom!!! 40k as of an hour after this video was posted🤣🥰
Haha we have the clippers ready for him this afternoon 😂
Did you guys flip the 4runner head rests around?
Haha yes Tom did! He hurt his neck in Tahiti a few years back and likes it flipped for his neck posture
Did you ever have back issues and if so did you ever try Foundation training? Wondering about that.
Yes, I’ve had some nasty lower back issues. Funny enough I’m really good friends with both guys who started it and love it 👌

@@Lakey_Peterson Thanks Lakey . I have been interested in the band techniques and will look into that .
👍
😊
Also I recently buzzed off my blonde locks it's the move. Join the club Tom
He’s officially in the club 😂
Curious why the whole world talks about SB on specific swells but we don’t hear about other specific spots south and north of sb on other swells.
Good question! I know a lot of the boys were up Santa Cruz way and scored big time... SB is prob the most user friendly area on bigger swells to attracts most the crowds and attention maybe???
Why are your headrests in your car faced the other direction?
Haha good pickup! My hubby had a disc bulge in his neck so does it to keep his head back 👌
Best style in womens surfing" Keep on Rippin............!
Thanks Mike ☺️
Why is the coast so mushy and dirty? Must have indeed been a massive sea storm?
It gets dirty with the rain and rivermouths 😢
Thanks for the blog but no thanks to the cold smog :) ponytail wacks
Haha love it 😊

How about get that video or this one to 150k views and Lakey shaves her head 😂
Haha Tom said the same thing this morning 😂😂😂
Caroline is really an Occy influenced surfer
100%
Check Sharks, Mira Mar and Hammonds on these swells when other places are too big or chunky.
Also Hope Ranch but don't tell anyone...🤫
Ahhh yes! All epic options! Hope you scored a few waves yourself! 🙌
@@Lakey_Peterson Ty Lakey. I haven't surfed for about 10 years.
I got super focused on my spiritual path then moved to Colorado.
It's super fun to watch you and your partner Tom! I really appreciate your videos.
what Bodi was living for
I’m from carp and surf Rincon all the time but of course when the biggest swell in 50 years comes I’m in hawaii like come on
Haha 100%
uh oh, already 40k views on that other video - bad news for Tom 😂
I have already sourced some clippers for today's shave haha 😂
Head up to Mavericks
Haha not my cup of tea 😂
The last video is at 40k
Tom’s hair is GONE 😂
Chop it 💇♂️ 😂
Clippers are ready and waiting! 🤣
Where’s my McMufffin??
Haha waiting for you at McDonalds 😂😂😂
@@Lakey_Peterson yeah… those days are over 😕 BTW… we are neighbors.
Should have headed down to Blacks
Haha next swell 😜
The only true locals are the ones that live in the ocean 24/7. The rest of the human race are just visiting their neighborhood for a bit, hopefully leaving nothing behind other than footprints. Thanks for the video my friends, good stuff indeed. Semper Fidelis!👍 👍
100%... leave nothing but your footprints behind 👌 Glad you enjoyed the vid Chris
Tom...you gotta be careful with the wording on a bet... Was there no time limit? Because EVENTUALLY - 40k is going to come up ...
Haha Tom said the same thing about himself when we shaved his head yesterday 😂😂😂
TIME TO SHAVE THAT HAIR OFF!!!! 🤣
Say goodbye to it ! 😂
"mushy" clearly a surf term. lol 😂
Haha whatever comes off the tongue 😜
Jo Johnson kook
Cali surf is merde; said every French/Spanish surfers who went there.
Haha just googled merde… we have our days here in California but I agree with you; the surf gets a lot better at other parts of the world
Click bate
You missed it. You should of seen it yesterday.
Hahaha 😝
