Something fun about watching people hydrolock a engine from being stupid. :)

[yellowcow13]

That first Explorer took a beating

[pismobeachday]

@yellowcow13 Yes it did, but it made it. The Toyota with the trailer next...not so lucky!

[digdogdig84]

Did anyone else notice a Ford F-150 driving by as the Ford Super Duty pulled out a Ford Ranger??

[pismobeachday]

@digdogdig84

I recorded and created this video, and I didn't notice.....

[zoso1234]

It looks like fun, but too bad it destroyed all the clams!!!

[michaelsendaniel]

That isn't that high. We went a couple years back where an F250 got swallowed up by the river. As in, it was completely submerged. Made it through with the Pathfinder though ;)

[the99psd]

holy shit look at 2:22 that trailer is freakin huge

[alexrex20]

is this saltwater?

[pismobeachday]

@alexrex20 It's where the fresh water creek from the foothills meets the ocean water, so it's a mix. Depending on how fast the creek is flowing, high surf, etc determines how much salt water is at this crossing point.

great video,, i miss going there, i grew up going there in my uncles willys jeep,, now i live in wisconsin and we drive on the water not threw it,, since they all freeze solid here in winter

[toolinmaine]

"how to ruin a camper" Fucking campers cant keep rain out... let alone seawater.

[JVPRCNG]

did anyone tell the driver @ 0:43 that they call it an air intake for a reason??

[pismobeachday]

@JVPRCNG

Booze tends to cloud the mind at times like these.....

[JVPRCNG]

@pismobeachday I'll go with that. Maybe it should be called Party Beach instead of Pismo Beach..lol

[Jufrauen]

That red truck that said carroll. Is that the guy from GMFS?

[pismobeachday]

@Jufrauen

Well you said guy, so most people don't know that about Carroll. GMFS what does this mean?

[Jufrauen]

@pismobeachday

GM Full Size forum.

[pismobeachday]

@Jufrauen

Nope...it's not this Carroll.

[TeXJ2424]

Funny vid!

[pismobeachday]

@TeXJ2424

Yeah...had to step it a notch with this video...the others were a bit slow! Thanks....."TEX"

[TeXJ2424]

@pismobeachday haha @ tex, Its a play on XJ=cherokee and me being in Texas.

[guitardude303]

Isnt the saltwater bad for the trucks?

[pismobeachday]

@guitardude303

Salt water is not good for vehicles. Most people pressure wash truck and trailers as soon as they get off the beach or get home. If not, it get ugly real quick! The rust finds places you never see, like electronic boards! I've heard of people putting sprinkler heads under the truck and let it run for awhile. What ever works....

[guitardude303]

@pismobeachday Yeah I was Gonna say! I would hate to see someones new truck get rusted up! Thanks for replying back.

[L0rdsprinkl]

Going next Wednesday, can't wait! I'm sure you've heard of this story. But I was taking a stroll on the beach and right next to the area they have fenced off for animals. There was a seal that washed up with a HUGE chunk missing on its side. I might be exaggerating a bit, because it was like four years ago, but this chunk was HUGE!

[pismobeachday]

@L0rdsprinkl Yeah...I have a friend who flew over the shoreline in Pismo/Avilia/etc. and he said just off the beach there are sharks. Yes..sharks! Unless you plan to boogie board out past the waves and wear a black wetsuit you'll be fine. The danger most people don't realize when you in the water waste deep, is the rip currents. In some area's on the beach it's bad, and that current can take someone out to sea at any moment. Forget the sharks...think rip currents! Ask the state Life Guards.

[elluigui]

Whats the best time to cross?

[pismobeachday]

@elluigui "Low Tide"

[pismobeachday]

@pismobeachday This video was taken after a big rain storm came through with high surf. In the summer it's a very very small creek, not a problem!

[86TRX250RHONDA]

I like how all the fords r pulling stuff! Fords rule

[TheSpeedygon]

I was there!!

[pismobeachday]

@TheSpeedygon Are you in the video?

[661Mickey]

Nice video..!

[pismobeachday]

@661Mickey Thanks for the positive comment........it is fun! Pismo or Bust!

[RaPiiDxSnipeZz]

i hate that creek its fucking nasty

[pismobeachlocal]

Nice video. I love watching everyone attempt to cross the creek. I remember as a kid all of us heading down on busy weekends watching all the valley rats get stuck. Good times. What a wonderful place to be from!

[pismobeachday]

Yes, very bad for vehicles. Most truck and toyhaulers will start to show effects of salt water (rust) within a few days if not pressure washed asap. Electrical issues start within a year or two. The newer vehicles have better protection and way more plastic so it doesn't effect them as much. The creek crossing is fresh water from the foothills so depending on timing when crossing will determine how much salt water vs fresh water gets on vehicles.

[pismobeachday]

Yes, very bad for vehicles. Most truck and toyhaulers will start to show effects of salt water (rust) within a few days if not pressure washed asap. Electrical issues start within a year or two. Older vehicles tend to get the worse of it of course, but the newer vehicles have better protection and way more plastic so it doesn't effect them as much. Rims on the tires stick out the most...rust and dull if not cleaned right away.

[PowerhouseRoy]

Isnt this bad for the truck? I mean salt water eats away at body panels and whatnot. SMH

[Sodiumreactor]

@PowerhouseRoy Just hit the car wash on your way home and spray the underbody real good.

[pismobeachday]

You have to pay $5 for day pass or $10 for a night pass. It's a state park, so yes...you have to pay, but it's not that much considering hotels in the area run $150+ per night.
