My Surf Videos

I am in one of those moods today where nothing can motivate me, nor please me. It’s strange, as it’s a beautiful day out in San Francisco and I had a great night sleep, but for some reason, I am very grouchy. If only my boss knew I haven’t done 15 min. of work since getting here at 8am (hehe!). Even seeing surfers making waves is not doing it for me… EXCEPT… WIPEOUTS!! It’s not all funny, as surfers can and do get really hurt, but for some reason I’m able to get a rise out of it. Cringing here while online is restoring my energy and keeping the blood flowing through my veins.

I’m like a little kid who gets a rise out of his elder hitting himself on the head or falling over. The above video is some really intense wipeouts from this past surf season in Hawaii . The swells of Hawaii, some of the biggest in the world, can be destructive to surfers and their surfboards. With waves reaching heights of 25ft. plus, anyone less than an expert would be committing suicide trying to ride these waves.

Here’s another great compiliation of the best giant surfing wipeouts. It’s ridiculous how tall these waves. The surfers are specks on these giant waves!

As an average surfer, it’s comforting to know that even the pros get pitched. Obviously they’re ripping it up on the waves, making tube rides look like a stroll through the park. But to know that no matter how great of a surfer you are, a legend of surf, whoever, the waves are the controlling force. Watch this gnarly surfing wipeout video at the Sandspit with surfing pros Kelly Slater, Bobby Martinez, Dane Reynolds, Tom Curren, Brandon Smith, and Trevor Gordon.

The Sandspit located in the Santa Barbara Harbor is known for their “swells that are insanely hollow, ass-flyin’ rights that can either peel on and on or dump squarely onto your back, depositing you straight into the oh-so-shallow bottom.”
