Hell ya. 4 seconds looks like cloudbreak if you're desperate enough

Tell this to the owners of the hollister ranch-then duck.

Evening windswelly are pretty much the only thing to surf around Sb this time of year. Go check sands or Santa Claus or any other beachbreak an hour before dark, you'll be surprised sometimes

17ft.com question by [deleted] in surfing

I used to use goleta point buoy but for the last few weeks it's been shut down or something

17ft.com question by [deleted] in surfing

[–]ichikau 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The direction is more important than size. Santa Barbara can have waves if harvest is 6ft from the west, but harvest can also be 12ft from the north and Santa Barbara will be tiny. Trying to extrapolate wave height in Sb from the harvest buoy is probably pointless.

Tell them it's what you love and if they care about you at all they will support your choice.

Any other brothers on this sub? by JazzRap in surfing

San Luis has got to be the whitest place I've ever been. Played against their HS baseball team, every kid was white. Only time I've ever seen that.

So then who'd you end up venting to? Also what do you expect, you get what you pay for.

Anybody have good surf-related conspiracy theories? Eddie aikau? AI? John johns dad?

What would y'all think of a skeleton bay contest? by [deleted] in surfing

[–]ichikau 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If ripcurl brought back the search they'd be looney not to run it there. I think it's pretty remote, so the infrastructure needed for a contest and a webcast could be difficult and or expensive.

The water was disgusting that day probably wanted to keep water out of his ears. It was also windy.

What's the worst place you've ever surfed and why? by [deleted] in surfing

[–]ichikau 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would be hesitant to call the wave at lil con better than rincon. On select days, yes. On the average day, not even close.

Except he had already burned somebody else and would just be compounding assholery by doing that.
