Historic Blacks Beach XXL San Diego 20-25ft Surf
Рет қаралды 413,334
4 ай бұрынWhat an absolute trip to be home in New Jersey for the biggest swell I've ever seen & end up in California for this Historic Blacks Beach XXL San Diego 20-25ft Surf forecast. According to Surfline the San Pedro buoy reached a whopping 16.7ft @ 18 seconds, the biggest ever recorded since the buoy was installed in 2004. The swell is potentially getting bigger today so wish me luck & I can't wait to share the vlogs! FOR THE DREAM!! - Ben

lmfao here come these guys. Everyone is riding a 10 ft plus sized gun. Look at some of the set wave shots. Easy 20-25 ft faces. No one would have a 10ft gun in 8 ft surf. I would love to see your 5-6 if this is 8 lol. They are also filming from the cliff at blacks, it throws the perspective off a bit. You would be shitting your pants if you paddled in this.@@jennyco7709

Surfed Blacks many times back in the day, I’ve never seen it pumping over 8’-10’. First time I surfed Blacks was back in 1976 at 15 yrs old. The walk down the cliffs of Torrey Pines with my Bonzer in hand was always brutal. Surf was generally good at Blacks but just up the road was Swamis’ with a right point break it rocked when the swell came in. BTW, we mustn’t over look the beautiful summer visuals as Blacks was a nudie beach where the collage girls could always be seen working on their tans. Yep…. back in the day. Thanks Ben Gravy

Ben so glad you got a taste of blacks pumping. Been surfing there from 1973 till 2015.had to quit surfing I'm 70 and time for you young studs to dominate . Back in the 1980s I was out on a similar day's as yours and was the furthest guy out and got thrashed in the spin cycle by a 30ft Rouge wave and almost drowned but survived to surf another day. A gnarly freaking break. Kd.

Having gate access to the lower parking lot is a dream! My first memories of surfing Black's on a big(ish) day (10-12') was getting my ass kicked on the paddle out just to almost make the drop on a set wave, then being caught inside while a 5 wave set came through. Making the hike back up to the glider port was a rough one. Thanks for sparking the memories!

Back then there was only two people that were crazy enough to be out that day.. me and this guy Marcus and he was way crazier than I was haha. I caught a mid-set wave and when I tried to paddle back out a giant cleanup came in and just wrecked me and the board. I was under for what felt like an eternity😢😂
