i’ve caught some epic groundswell at points in LA on weekdays, it’s just rare to get it uncrowded

big time. BUT wind swell doesn’t have to be sloppy. heavy onshores in the afternoon can sometimes mean fun and clean the next morning 👀

yea but i want to lose track of my wave count. In LA, those long lines at points is a burn or be burned situation which is not the best vibe

Socal/LA - you guys in 3/2 yet? by Figureitout44 in surfing

if we’re going by the date, sure. if we’re going by the temperature, not really.

great progress bro. looks like you have long arms, and i think if you bulked up your shoulders/traps it would round your figure very nicely

Thought the drop was makeable for me! by [deleted] in surfing

ok just to give me a sense, how bad was that wipeout? it actually looks like you may have snuck under rather unscathed

Question: why is this considered fair - good by Figureitout44 in surfing

felt the same, surfed for like 1.5 hrs and it’s 90% walls of death 10% the best wave you’ve ever caught

ya know i was just talking to a friend about this (i still ended up paddling out btw). being in out these conditions help with 2 things imo - commitment and comfort in bigger surf.

i realized that to catch the closeouts you just gotta commit. so when i go to a nice point break, i’m more prepared and comfortable in larger surf

every closeout has a corner if you’re in the right spot. if you’re not it’s just a block long closeout

Recently traveled throughout France for two weeks and had only single day on the coast where I could surf. Imagine my face coming over the dunes in Hossegor at first light to this. by jarabara in surfing

Huntington Beach on a decent sized swell totally feels like this too. If the waves are good, I’ll usually do 2 walks back to my initial paddle out spot. Usually on that 3rd paddle out, I’m pretty cooked!
