#60 High Surf Advisory in Los Angeles January 18th 2009

[Raymond09871]

you call that high?

[rknobel84]

if your scared by that you should stick to the piers my man. leave to real spots for people who know how to surf!!! thats not even big by the way try surfing 25 ft barrels

[helpmefindparents]

@rknobel84 I'm confused. You are saying I should try surfing the piers or I should try surfing a 25 ft barrel?

[Pysgcopath62]

@rknobel84 all sarcasm aside. Where do you surf?

[cpurcellskate]

[VriakII]

[octavian1971]

Those waves look really fast!

[honeyonatoast]

[helpmefindparents]

C'mon!

[refreshNhappy]

lol 'Chotto scary' ....

[helpmefindparents]

Yes, I agree.

[lukeabout]

Ya - go for it Ken!

[helpmefindparents]

:-)

[leanderhero]

I would not have the guts to be out on those waves, either. Especially since I don't have a clue how to surf. : P

I hope no one got hurt!!

[helpmefindparents]

I spent 3 days at the beach during this advisory. The last day I did see ambulances and lifeguards gathering, but I'm not sure what happened. I hope everyone was ok.

[nbwulf]

Cheers my friend... J.

[helpmefindparents]

Cheers to you:)

[TalimSoul]

It must be nice to be able to talk to two different people of different languages.

[helpmefindparents]

I guess that is true, Talimsoul:)

[NiDeCo]

よぉ、ケン！すごい天気やな～

寒くないの？一月なので

まあ、おもろい動画なんや！

[helpmefindparents]

ロスはさむくないよ。いま８０度です。(27度c）僕はさむがり­やだからそのぐらいじゃあないと海に入れない：）

[NiDeCo]

そうか。日本とロスは大体同じ緯度だけど、そんなに温度の違いは­信じられないな～。なかなかおもろいね、ははは

次のケンさんからの動画を楽しみにします！

[gfxlab]

LOL Did someone just get ran over? Those waves look very handsome!

[helpmefindparents]

Yes, I hope they are handsome today too.

[jaidiii]

waves scary to ride

i prefer to watch

lol

cheers

[helpmefindparents]

It is great fun to ride them. Just try some small ones:)

[fomiz]

that surfing looks amazing!

[helpmefindparents]

:-)

[chimera15]

Geesh, too many people, did you see that one guy get run over? I'm surprised he didn't get his head sliced off.

[helpmefindparents]

Yes, there were a lot of people. It can be dangerous because the waves are so big, it can be hard to tell if there is already someone on it.

[erniesbudolab]

Come up to Northern California and try surfing the big waves at Mavericks.

[helpmefindparents]

I don't think I"m ready for Mavericks yet:)

[weeknightingale]

My son was working or he would be out there too! Gosh those are BIG waves! He usually goes to Salt Creek!

[helpmefindparents]

I've always wanted to got to Salt Creek.

[KingStar1984]

Enjoying that ninja suit huh? :p

[helpmefindparents]

Yes, Kingstar1984. But it doesn't make that swishing sound when I'm in the water.

[ericsurf6]

Nice right Ken, where is this spot?  We've got big waves in Japan right now too!

[NichiBeiTrader]

Eric, it was El Porto. I happen to know the guy and his son that Ken interviewed! Small world.

[helpmefindparents]

This area is between Venice and Hermosa. Today it's 3-5 there:) I'm getting in one last day before the rain comes.

[geroldkid]

The waves look great.

[helpmefindparents]

Yes. I'm about to go out right now for some morning waves. It's still big.

[Hikosaemon]

Iina! Nice waves!

But it must be freezing out there right now...

Put on a decent wetsuit and get out there, Ken! I'd love to see some video of you tackling these waves on your boogie board.

Peace

[nananaAri]

it hasn't been that cold. this whole week has been in the 80's and 90's

[helpmefindparents]

That's right:)

[helpmefindparents]

The water temp is 55-59 and air has been 70-80 so it's not so bad. I wear a 4/3 wetsuit with a hood. It's the one I got for xmas in video #58

[tabithascobra]

ooo nice waves... so the weather is nice right now... good. i hope it's like that when i go in 10 days

[helpmefindparents]

Yes, it has been about 80 degrees lately, but it is supposed to rain this week. HOpefully it will be nice again when you arrive.
