Dead Man's

[650palmave]

take off deep, stick the drop, shred the gnar. Do that and you'll get most waves you want out there. So called "locals"= Good load of goofballs out at this joint.

[budcarlsonfamily]

First guys to surf Dead Mans (named because this is where the coast guard finds the bodies of the golden gate bridge jumpers) were Matt Dorn, Frank Barada, Fred German and Bud Carlson.

[christianenns]

That was such a tired gloomy session.

[foot160]

San Fran surfers kinda suck

[ehunter2]

Wow..this looks like so much fun! 50 morons with the sum total IQ below the

the water temperature and all of them scrambling for a 3 second ride on

in water that looks like a sewage outfall

[jdmazz808]

reminds me of a chapter in 60809's book.... amazing.... 60809.ca

[MSCNnation]

Barely anyone in that place made a drop in. The other times they didnt even go

[dimphil]

Dead on 1 foot waves? Doubt it fag.

[wtfmickey]

thats just stupid busy.

[AKdtgp]

can anyone in san francisco make a drop?

[fosho415]

@AKdtgp looked like a few were there for their first time. it happens

[23BanachTarski]

@AKdtgp right?! It's a small, choppy swell for Dead Man's, but damn...c'mon boys! Prolly the old guys out...

[joeybutafuco]

What a bunch of KOOKS

[m1l3slovesskateing]

u no its a kooked out wave if only bodyboarders are getting waves

[StriderOP]

Unbelievable! The most kook infested spot I've ever seen! Fatkidyo96 pinned it! Where's the core locals? Time to regulate that shit boys!

[dheyo]

too many people there :/ .......

[salparadise63]

Crap wave and crap surfers.

[DrHarryDickman]

Been there, haven't done that though.

[kookbooger]

Some really fat crumble core stuff out there. Northern Cali must be kind of tough

[HaleiwaBill]

I surfed this wave quite a few times. Definitely a heavy drop and sometimes also tough to make down the line. However the locals in the particular video are making it look more difficult than it is. I aint saying the spot does not have accomplished surfers, because it does. But again I have surfed there many times when the locals ripped the shyte out of it. But not this time.

[jrgomez7]

long beach in the house.sublime for life

[zenaku680]

KOOK ALERT!

[nelly2456]

to bad everyone out couldnt surf that left looks epic

[Mr1screwloose]

if this is the grarliest wave youve ever surfed then you probably dont get out much... ; ) lol haha

[liv2surfnscate]

If you have never surfed there, then u have no right to put a comment on this page, that is the knarlyest wave in sf, anyone out there gets props, i have to say its the gnarliest wave ive ever surfed.

[joeybutafuco]

I surfed it 100s of times. probably sprayed you.

[casper2095]

overcrowded

[808Entertainment]

@casper2095 theres bearly anybody if u wanna see overcrowded go to pipe on a big swell

[marleySux]

looks fat and backwashy, hard to surf. or those guys just suck royal dick

[hughes112793]

sick.. id stay in the inside and get phat in and out barrels!

[dsimsdvs]

these are the biggest group of pussy surfers i have ever seen. not one of them can even make a drop

[sexybeastlikesgirls]

where is dead mans

[EarlMcCrackin]

In SF

[me3be3]

kind of like the drop at teahupoo

[prestonpwns1]

not even remotely close. you try making the drop at 'chopes.

[me3be3]

yea cuz it sucks out really fast just like in this vid. and i didnt say i was ever at teahuppo. its actually pretty close if it was a small day at chopes

[prestonpwns1]

i never said you have? lol, but no dude, even when it's small. 'chopes is a powerful wave bro. it's waaayy steeper, and so shallow. it's on another level. this is what groms surf

[me3be3]

true. i just meant that this resembles it. but theres only 1 chopu :)

[prestonpwns1]

like i said, there's not one similarity between this wave and teahupoo. i could surf a 6'1 in this. i'd have to surf bout a 6'6 step up at chopes with hard rails and stiff fins. and huge balls...

[reefpapa]

is fort point all reef break..? Or is it mostly sand? I can see a lot of rock.?

[Kydox]

Blind

[kdizzzle123]

looks kinda hard to surf cuz of all the water sucking up but there some nuggets!!!!

[actumaequos]

looks fun if there were only a couple guys out. Just me but I wouldnt paddle out if it was that crowded. Guess thats why i live where i do:)

[cpsrfr11]

Secret Spot??? Not with that many people out.

[ashtonf08]

oh you san fransiscians are cray-zayy

[tioN4]

Why is it called "Dead Mans" some one answer please

[fatkidyo96]

Its because the lineup looks like a Phish parking lot. You can probably smell the pachuli out there.

[surfdad001]

Cause the trail down is on the side of a cliff and it's very sketchy...not to mention the wave waiting at the bottom

[tioN4]

cool, thanks, but also is this low tide or hight tide with the rocks, and it doesnt seem like there is too much wave waiting

[greenup310]

its called deadmans because all the dead bodies that jumped off the san fransisco bridge end up in that cove

[cchhrriissttiiaann77]

theres a shitload of overcrowding for a wave thats not even that great. 40 secs LMAO i can never understand why people dont just LOOK b4 dropping in

[brad213]

You call that crowded? try scoring snapper rocks 3ft before the suns even up with a crowd less than that lol. thats not a crowd

[cchhrriissttiiaann77]

where you surf?

cali?

[brad213]

Nah. Goldcoast Australia. Snapper rocks aka kirra & surrounding area is so so overcrowded its unbeleivable.Are there many reef breaks along the west coast USA??

[cchhrriissttiiaann77]

the better the waves get the more people will come :-/

def not as many as the GC but theres a few. I surf more point breaks and beach breaks

[swiftee69]

why is evryone shoulder-hopping? these guys can't surf for shit

[r32adt3db]

Deadman's Cove is not a secret. LOL.

Just west of Fort Point, you will find Dead Man's Break. Rumor has it that, this little cove is where many of the bridge jumpers end up, hence the name, but if you don't know what you're doing, it's how you might end up, considering the rocks and the locals.

[mathewheldman]

dude central cali surf is not about localism. i surf ob every day of my life, and i never hassle new surfers. vice versa, i never ever got hassled when i first started surfing here.

socal is way more about localism bullshit

[Rdewo]

this spot is good but no one gets a good fucken wave. what a joke

[Calsurfrider]

great waves + Great music= great times

[randyp1234567]

ho brah

[aquaritarian]

Seahag, chill, my post was a neutral (albeit sarcastic) response to Barbixby's post stating SF surfers are "real" surfers. Whatever, mate, they're in, they charge, when it's there, which is not very often, at all, and when it is it's awful and cold. Whatever's...

There is medication available. Share the ocean, don't be angry or a dick.

[Dilonious]

This spot was destroyed by that big storm. Don't break no more. Everyone goes to lindamar now.

[aquaritarian]

SF surfers are real? Heavy...

[barbixy]

Not to mention how dern cold it is. LOL!

[barbixy]

I grew up there...the city, esp OB is heavy. It can look like 3-5 from the beach, then you get out there and get cleaned up by 10' sets. If you can even get out. SF surfers are real surfers. Athletes. NSSA but waggers had a contest there and couldn't even get outside.

[EarlMcCrackin]

Yeah, if this is Dead Man's, OB was probably triple overhead which usually means giant storm surf breaking all over the place. No way anyone's making it outside on those days. There are seriously Mavericks sized waves breaking out on those sandbars sometimes.

[thesuperjman]

i love this song man

[hologramlink108]

Looks like great a bodyboarding spot with that heavy tube

[bigtim94122]

you guys are smoking crack thats a board breaking machine.I have seen plenty of chest pounders get there buts handed to them there and no you can't paddle in early.

aint no aussies surfing there they got the boot along time ago by the locals

[newbeachinvasion]

@bigtim94122 locals like that dick dragger that was burning the big bad locals?

[justpullingyourleg]

@bigtim94122 deadmans in sydney is way gnarlier, not saying that this spot isnt deadly, it looks pretty dangerous. its just that deadmans in sydney breaks bigger and on a shallower reef. peace and happy surfing.

[wwalkup]

@bigtim94122 Board breaking machine is right. The first time I went out at Deadmans as far as I knew, only 2 people had ever surfed it, Steve Pfiefer and Rudy Funk. My friend Rick dropped in first, then I saw him paddling back to Eagles, and he looked like he was crying. I dropped to the next wave; my board broke into 3 pieces. When I got back to Eagles, my friend had broken a borrowed new surfboard in half, only held together by the top glass.

[jimboturner]

any1 could make it, it looks like a dribbler

[EarlMcCrackin]

Oh yeah, you can see it from Ft. Miley.

[storky1234]

Why yes I could make it. Too bad noone out there could, can anyone make a drop at this place, does anyone actually try and drop in from behind the peak? Anyone? Thirty guys sholderhopping, sick!

[sailskisurf23]

doesnt break but a few times a year. not to many spots north of sc are holding on a swell that size so of course its gonna b crowded. couple deep left tubes and its well worth ur while tho

[ffc415]

thats a lie.

[sideslipp]

It's Dead Man's in San Francisco.

[joeybutafuco]

Funny you say that because there are 4 or 5 aussie transplants that surf it

[surfcrs]

I'm a local to the area (although not dead mans) and this looks way too crowded for what it's worth. For the Aussie doubters out there, I can tell you that nearby OBSF is friggin killer and the crew is more than up for it. And it's not wimpy.....current and paddle out can suck....such things are not always shown in video very well.

[hologramlink108]

I'm new to the area but those spots by the bridge after all look like a waste of time considering the crowd and the fact that OB would be around 3 times bigger the same day with probably actually ridable waves...just a guess!

[muritai07]

I thought this would be Deadmans in Sydney, but as soon as I heard the guy going OMG on the soundtrack I could tell it was yanks.. All those guys out and so few takers, even the ones that go for it probably shouldn't be out there. What a shit wave, maybe it gets offshore sometimes but, um, my local is going to be better this arvo and I'll know everyone there. Kiwi a

[kookesgohome]

looks like southern california. i can't believe how many guys are out when its not even good

[heenaluocc]

haha people dont know how friggin heavy deadmans is

[kafeene]

lol they are getting rocked

[ppd2000]

Its a shame everybody is shit out there

[DaveRobsy]

Fun looking wave, the crew were really struggling with it though. I guess the cold must make it hard. Put some Aussies on it and it'd be a different story ;)
