Longboard Surfer Shoots The Pier At Manhattan Beach - Old Guys Rule!

A Longboard Surfer shoots the pier at Manhattan Beach, California. Old Guys Rule! That's a lot of lumber to navigate between the giant barnacled concrete pillars, but this guy shoots through without a problem. Sure, it's dangerous, but he doesn't have anyone else trying to steal his waves. I end the video with shots of surfers and boogie boarders battling for waves. One boogie boarder almost gets his head taken off. Good times in Manhattan Beach. Surfing, boogie boarding and body surfing. Extreme sports, extreme surfing.

Looks like someone is drowning at the upper left corner of the video

@jgalvez213 You're right. That's a swimmer. People like to swim from the Hermosa pier to the Manhattan pier and back. They even do an annual race to find how who is fastest.

@volksdragonvw Cool. It's amazing that you were able to find the video on YouTube. It must have been weird when you discovered it. Great job shooting the pier. I used to do that on a boogie board when I was a little kid. I hope you like the video.

I've got an old book from my youth in SoCal called 'Surftoons'. One of the 'toons shows an old couple on HB pier watching a surfer dead-center a piling. "If that's what they call 'shooting the pier', that whippersnapper's a good shot!"

I was a point break man myself. Sunset Bl and north.

@gordonemoore I remember going under the pier on a boogie board a few times when I was a kid. I never tried it on a surfboard. The waves are still breaking in Malibu. You can see some shots of surfers in my Suzuki GS650G Motorcycle Ride video.
