Surfing Santa Cruz

Here's my 2 cents. If you're totally new to this, also contact local surf shop(s) and see if they can arrange getting you one or two intro surfing lessons. Surf etiquette also very important.
Good luck.

 

if your new gtfo the forum and post at the surfermag forums. go buy a pound of weed a gnaraloo and smoke meth. go go bench a few hundred pound. smoke your stuff then then paddle out to steamer lane. now your ready to be a surfer! cut everybody off yell and scream and threaten then if they cut you off make sure to yell locals only. if its about to go down challenge to a bench off. #surfedicate101 #belmar newjsersey # dirty jersey

 

Santa Cruz is an awesome place to surf..especially Steamer. Be respectful of the good surfers out there. Plenty of waves so you'll get one. Cowells may be the best place to get a board, lessons and smaller waves on the inside.

 

Thank you for the tips. Proper care will save money in long term. Someone always help make seriuosly posts i'd condition.

Cowells is where you should go.

 

I also remember Capitola as having a beginner-friendly break.

 

This is true unless its a big day

 

Classic, sound advice. Exactly how I pictured jersey.

 

You need to be paddling out at Cowell's if you're a rookie.

 

dont listen to them go to steamer lane or pleasure point, shred them up and own it in a week.

 

if you are totally new. If you surf anywhere other than cowells in santa cruz you will get told by someone where you should surf. Most of the paths leading to surf breaks have rules posted. Santa Cruz is no joke. And they have no problem getting in your face and telling you where you should be.

 

Sandster takes the fight against Jersey coast to coast! Will he recruit the Californians? What does Christmas have in store for his arch nemesis?

I have a photo of said signage at the entrance to one of the breaks also photos of 2 dudes getting washed across the base of the cliff at the same spot. Additionally I took a photo of a dude getting back fisted off a wave at the lane. Santa Cruz smells like there is a never ending skunk orgy happening all around you at all times.

I can't figure out how to add pics to a post without them being attachments. The gaffer did it recently though.

 

Perhaps the PreScn/SysRq button will do it? Vever tried it but I'm at work and lack photos

 

make sure to post your gopro footage on here.

 

Don't be discouraged by the response you got because at least you got one with valid info! Despite my random attempts to help people out, many of my own questions to folks here go unanswered. F*ck it. Different people, different moods = a wide array of responses from helpful to useless . The variety of response should be expected amid the wide array of surfers and schizophrenics here on SI.

Instead of focussing on the negative, you should be thanking the people that attempted to steer you in the right direction. That is indeed uncool on your part. "Not cool enough for this blog"? Apparently you haven't read much here because you're plenty cool enough, trust me. It's a stoker you followed through and got some waves. I love surfing that entire area. Good times.

Ps. 26th & 27th conflicts with a few days off a week and friends for the winter. In other words are you done in Santa Cruz now because the 27th has passed or are you there for the winter?

 

did you take my advice and paddle out to dah cruz yet?
