NEWPORT POINT Video Pro's and Huge Barrels Check it - Hurricane Marie Swell

Nice. thanks for sharing. That is the best stand up footage I have seen from that whole swell event. You have more footage?

 

amazing wave

spoiler alert: go ahead and hit mute

 

Those are some drops I could be all about. You see how textured the wave was when the barrell was really rolling? You had to be fast in those tubes and get out fast before stability got tough. You think those two dudes purposely dropped in on each other or that they just handled it well? Good looking wave bro. That's real shallow water right?

 

I'd have to think the form is different between the two. Can't see the same perfection at Newport. It's dope though bro. Certainly an accomplishment for anyone to make that drop and shott that barrell.

 

Since the guy who was dropped in on came out of the barrel holding two middle fingers up aiming them back at the guy that already popped over, I assume that was a legit drop in and the guy wasn't happy.

 

Haha... The dude in front of him knew he blew it... He was even hanging his head in shame as he popped over the back. I bet that was an interesting paddle back to the lineup, cause on days like that, drop ins just can't happen. For safety.

 

I dunno man. You sure you'd surf this and have a good time? This is a day that seems unpredictable, humongous, and there's a TON of friggen water moving. Looks like strictly Joe Pro material for me. I'll surf the more mellow point or something that's sheltered somewhere up/down the coast. Thank you.

 

Managed by pure chance (planned the trip 2 months prior) to find myself in Socal for the Marie swell. A "pro double black diamond wave" indeed... even the video doesn't really relate how fast the waves were ripping down the beach. Surfed DOH Doheny that morning...probably the only time it's ever been called a good wave... and a couple spots in Laguna that afternoon/evening.

 

Lol right? What does that even look like?!?! Does it peel off the jetty like mad? How bout the lil inside rock reef? I've got friends who live right there so we've just spent a ton if time on that beach. Pics anyone?

 

Looked to me like the second guy finished his wave by giving his "friend" the double bird. I'd say it was an unexpected party wave that was handled well.

 

no personal pics but and I had never surfed the wave prior....but sets were breaking roughly 3/4 mile out (as best I can figure from Google earth). Combined with current and walls of whitewater it made a jetty jump off necessary. A sectiony fat rolling wave from the outside. LBs could make the connections no problem...SBs it was a task but do-able. Had the rippable reform lil left on the inside by the rock.

Edit: Found this video from the late evening. We found sizeable/ rippable surf elsewhere as the day wore on... looks way more crowded and doesn't have the early morning peak size but there's still few...its no newps but it was fun

Cool vid - thanks for the share. If I was going to head out into surf that big I'd first want to be sure that they had the wording on my gravestone written properly.

 

on that Doheny vid, how how big do you call that wave? objectively, they looked to be OH at times but they were so flat that they looked like they surfed like waist high. and oh so slow... looked much better for longboards and even SUPs

you can tell that I have mainly surfed steep beachies.
