I grew up surfing El Porto, got my first big barrel of my life at 10 years old. It was a solid 8' I was 5' 0" about 80lbs, so the waves to me looked like 15 foot easily. This is the place my nuts dropped. I have gotten the cleanest, longest barrels here, have broken three boards, my collarbone and two toes on my foot. Only complaint about these guys surfing is they keep kicking or straightening out right when they should be driving through the barrel. These are the waves that will give you the greatest memories of your life and these lefts are breaking consistantly the same way. Some of these guys are missing the best barrels they will probably get in their entire lives!
I did see a few times where they kicked out but should have driven and could have made the tube. But really no one wants to get caught inside a set at El Porto so if he felt like he wasn't gonna make it, he wanted to be able to paddle back out again atleast. With a wave that steep and critical, I think all you really need is one good one
5' surf if you're riding the back of the wave, 12' if you're riding the front of the wave like we do in California. It's really stupid how the Hawaiian's measure the back of the waves, like when you surf pipeline and they say it's 5' but the faces are at least 12' which is rather strange because no body else measures waves that way except the Hawaiian's and the people who are in Hawaii surfing the season. How about you're surfing at Teahupoo where the back of the wave is 1' and the faces are 20', how stupid (or more so) would the Hawaiian's be if they called them 1' waves. From wave to wave around the world the backs of the waves are always going to be different compared to the front, there is no uniform comparison as in when ever the back of the wave is 2 feet the front is always 4' because each bottom feature at each break will define the back and front of the wave. Mavericks breaks in deep water so the backs are around 75% the size of the front meaning it has a big back, Teahupoo breaks in shallow water, the backs are about 10% of the front. El Porto jettys waves backs are 30% the size of the front. Any time you have a 50% difference the waves are going to be hollow, the higher the number/percentage the least powerfull and hollow (Malibu point 75%) while the lower the number/percentage the more powerful and hollow (Teahupoo 10%) the wave will be.
lol shut up kook. I'm from Hawaii and no one has done the 'back of the wave' measurement style for at least 30 years. Hell, even the news moved to reporting the actual face heights.
@@nickc3856 Hahaha, Hawaiian geek, you call the guy a kook but most likely you're the kook living off the accomplishment of others. Why dont you stick to robbing tourists. You live in a welfare state with some of the laziest people on earth. Each time I have been there, by the 2nd day I'm already tired of the rudeness, disrespect and the worse attitudes I have seen at any surf spot. You all think you're privileged when you're out in the water. You treat every surfer from somewhere else like shit. Grabbing their leash when they are paddling so that their buddy can drop in on the person that has the positioning that in every other surf spot around world it's their wave. And the Pui is possibly the worse part of your welfare state. There are videos on here where a Pui member sucker punches someone, then that person starts beating up the Pui guy, but the Pui jerk bit off a little bit more than he can handle so he gets his other Pui gangster to bail him out as 3 or 4 Pui old guys gangup on the guy. The Pui talk about respect of which they have no clue of the meaning. Combined, they have an IQ of 100. Listening to some of them try to communicate is like listening to two 7 year olds with potty mouths argue. Some of them were not even born In Hawaii but are haolies... When Dane Kealoha came and surfed in California in the 80's with some friends, while at Super Tubes in northern Malibu/Los Angeles county he probably didnt realize he wasn't at home because him and his buddies kept running interference for each other snaking everyone until he did it to the wrong person, Mickey Stern and his Malibu locals, Mickwy was a long time crazy guy surfer that spent many years in prison for multiple assaults and attempted murder of a Malibu Sheriff officer. Then he spent time in the Camarrillo asylum that did wonders for him like making him more violent. First he had a talk with one of Danes buddies and everything seemed find until they did it again. Instead of going back to the same guy he went to Dane, where I was all I saw was Mickeys mouth moving then I read Danes lips and same "fuck you" boom, Mickey punches Dane right on his chin, Dane is woozy and falls off his board. Mickey just sits there as Dane trys to get back on his board. At the time his buddies start paddling towards him, all the guys that had being snaked all day ran interference, 15 to 20 blocked their way to Dane. Once back on his board he paddled to shore with his clowns and got a lot of heckling from the guys in the water, along with the people on the cliffs. Bye bye you disrespecting goon.
@@solsurfer1558 How can you call that 4ft? I'm seriously struggling to understand. You can clearly see the waves waaay over the surfers head. Unless those are RC surfers and a plastic jetty toy, those are 12 foot faces absolutely.
1:17 was insane!🤙🏻🦄🤩
5:12 gnarly as can be, thumping Hammerland, the board breaker.
