Surfing Big Ocean Beach, San Francisco 2011

[OsgoodFielding111]

There have been sightings and possibly attacks, but it's not really that sharky compared to many surrounding spots...

[MrVictoryfilms]

Can you say Great Whites!!!

[654654321321]

Ocean Beach is a world class beach break when its on (as seen here). It is also a world class hazardous spot for getting caught inside, having a long shore current as fast as you can paddle, and getting ice cream headaches. It is a damn good place to see a great white too but honestly when you're out there it is the last thing on your mind.

0:18 it isnt not so big

0:22 HOLY SHIT!!

[Tsgarlin]

Oh, my God, the ASP is trying to make more money!! Can you believe this? What should they be doing? Feeding the starving kids of Mozambique? They're a sporting organization, not a charity organization. If you don't support them, fine. But for crying out loud, quit your whining. They want to make more money--so freakin' what! To all the whiners: do us a favor and go away ...

[KirkHuneycutt]

I'm not sure the ASP's intentions are pure with bringing surf contests to major cities and questionable locales like New York and San Francisco. Rather than exposing the sport of surfing to new and more people, aren't they just trying to make more money?

[tallgiant89]

they are for sure having jet ski assist here. otherwise it would be a contest to see just who can make it out and stand up on a wave to win haha

[raj164]

damn i hope the rip curl pro gets some wave like this i would love to see what those guys can do on these waves

[4drcanyonracer]

Nice vid. I was just out there today and that paddle out is a bitch.

[PUG1989]

fucking hope its better than that next week

[WhiteNacho]

Fuck you DICK!

[jschofaki180]

Cant wait to see the rip curl asp event here hope the waves are as epic as this

[doughellgarbage]

There's only one trick to pull on those waves.  Survival.

[Michaelechard]

Respect



[JobenPruitt]

You just gotta wonder. How the fuck does a long boarder get through that white water?

[jpkane13]

@JobenPruitt its easier to paddle through the soup on a longboard, just harder to duckdive

[lilroxgrapefruit10]

how many ft were the waves

[WhiteNacho]

Ocean beach locals are "CORE"

[alarsen54321]

@WhiteNacho Core?? As in stupid ameican fucks that think they are hardcore ??

[kllgn2]

such a narly break



[jackow1986]

San Francisco easily the best City in the World!!!

[Ibprius]

They should have jet ski assistance at the comp...nobody wants to see guys get caught inside for entire heats...

[KAMANAOKEKAI808]

@Ibprius they do they are just limited to how many times they can use the jet ski assist i think

[thedereklee9]

@Ibprius hahah dont speak for everyone i personally like seein those guys squirm

[kollakolla]

watching pros get beating inside the 50 yard lines gonna fun

[shiscabob100]

last time i went i saw a shark abt 12 feet long.

[k311y5m1th]

@shiscabob100 no kook

[peckawoodd]

yee can't wait for the rip curl competition. itd be priceless if some of the pros couldnt manage the gnarly paddle-out.

[alarsen54321]

@peckawoodd They'll have jetskies probably..lucky fucks never have to paddle in comps these days..

[k311y5m1th]

@alarsen54321 nope no jetski assist

[alarsen54321]

@k311y5m1th Good.. the way it should be..

[faroukabad]

that's big? Looks like normal Ocean Beach to me.

[epuig]

Im coming in july to SF and want to surf (not big waves), is this beach safe (sharks, currents...) when the waves are like 4 or max 6 feet? Will i need neoprene?

Thanks for the info

[johncharlesvii]

@epuig you need a 4 3 or 5 4 wetsuit year around. wave size has no effect on sharks, they will always be there. currents are dependent on swell direction, wind and size of the waves.

[JohnAndRadChris]

@epuig July will probably not be too big - it will most likely be between 3 and 6 feet any given day that month. If it gets too big, head to Linda Mar (10-15 mins south). The biggest problem is avoiding the wind - surf in the early morning and late evening if it's sunny, if it's foggy it will be semi-choppy all day. Montara and Gray Whale Cove 20 mins south handle wind better than OB and are usually a foot or two bigger. 4/3 wetsuit is fine, sharks are all hype.

[PS3Creativegaming]

Cant wait to surf here....how often is it big?

[fernandotomazi85]

RC pro search in this shit? Oo

[Pottz1616]

I can't wait to see the Slater, Dane and Taj surf this wave.

[eliseemmark]

Harder to paddle out than it is to surf

[chuletrox]

ripcurl search at this wave?

[Jonathanism1]

@chuletrox as reported by surfline

[oPorchMonkey4Life]

Good shit my man

[shutterfilms]

Looks hard to pull in with all that wind. Check out my fort point video if you get a change.

[pacspeed]

1:31 - Sickness! Legit triple OH Ocean Beach left...crazy good. Is that not one of the nicest beach break waves you've ever seen? Excellent footage!

[16fcali]

yesssss

[dallyson]

love the song, Pretty Lights rules. Its called Try to Remember- pretty lights

[2ndFloorHB]

Great swell to start the year with an excellent way! plenty of perfect waves. In California no doubt are the best waves in the world. The music of this video is totally awesome!

[thejokeexplainer]

What song is in the video?  I like.

[Eladiovicente]

Fantástico... ke ganas tengo de ir....
