If you don’t surf you'd probably have no idea that San Francisco has waves. And if you do surf, chances are that while you might know Ocean Beach can occasionally pack a punch, you’re probably still unaware that once you get back on the sand you’ll find one of the most radical, staunch and diverse surfing communities in North America waiting to welcome you with open arms.
From the generational owners of working class watering holes and cutting edge surf shops to female chargers pushing it as hard as anyone in big waves and tech wizards who’ve only recently moved to the city yet love surfing Kelly’s Cove more than the internet, San Francisco the surf town has something for everyone.
In the first episode of the latest series of No Contest, host Ashton Goggans is rediscovering the mythical City By The Bay and he’s brought some of Red Bull’s favourite athletes along for the ride. He’ll surf in the shadow of the Golden Gate Bridge with @JamieOBrienJOB and @IanWalsh before Izzi Gomez ventures a little further south to take on the most famous big wave on the American mainland, Mavericks.
To top it all off, Ashton dives into the local food and bar scene with a cast of colourful culinary characters that can’t be beat. Hit play now and get to know the home of some of California’s greatest beach breaks like never before. Enjoy!

San Francisco hasn't had the best publicity recently. This peek into the surfing culture and the culture of the "avenues" of SF is wonderful! Ocean Beach is the harshest, least glamorous place you can find, and to have this thriving underground group of surfers who live and work and surf here is great to watch. Thank you, from a long time (former) resident of SF!

I've been surfing and bodyboarding for about 30 years and OB is the only place I ever gave up on paddling out because I got so worked before even making it out to the lineup. I was in college and in really good shape. And when you get out, the current is insane. Don't get fooled by the footage, you have to be a beast to be able to surf that place when it's big.

Yeah there was one huge day (probably a clean triple overhead) every time I just about made it to the line up, a set rolled in and pushed me back 100 yards. This went on for about 40 minutes and I was just completely out of energy so after another 100 yard drag in I just gave up and rode a the whitewater in. Damn that was a bitter moment.

Well done video. Made me nostalgic. I grew up surfing Ocean Beach in the 80's and lived in the City for +10 years after college. I still remember certain days and waves vividly. Of glorious waves, absolute throggings, rejections and the ever present cold. I remember pre-surfline days when you'd listen to the buoy reports and call Wise surf shop for the report. The excitement of when fall started to kick in and the constant winds finally started to take a reprieve. Or paddling out at firing 10-12ft Noreiga with almost no one out. Or when the inside bars would go mental in a beat downs and barrel fest. The occasional magic that Sloat could deliver, or souths at Kelly's. I miss surfing power regularly and being in shape because of it. I don't miss the wind though!

I started surfing at Taraval by myself in 1994. After a few months , someone leaned out the window and invited me up for tea and a hot shower . I met “ The Village” , a group of dedicated surfers with the Mayor, Doc , Bob etc. What a kind group of generous,fearless , borderline psychotic guys. We avoided FT Point because it was so agro unless OB was closed out. OB was mellow because if you made it out , people respect you just for making it out. It’s very yuppie , tech bro now, but they have been charmed by the kindness and the generous community. It’s nice to see it go from one to no women to always some out.

@benhay6937 6 ай бұрын

Moved out to SF from southern east coast in the early 90's. Got my ass handed to me often on OB, but eventually made me a "durable" surfer for sure! lived in several spots in the Avenues, over the years. "spooky" to think how I used to solo charge on cold, foggy, drift days and survived. The Conditions can make for a very unique surf spot that only other surfers who spent time there will understand. Nice to see some old faces on the videos and glad some of the surfers got into restaurants and so on in the neighborhood. Shame that the politicians let the people down. Crime was never really an issue in the Avenues back in those days.

At Ocean Beach most surfers ask, "Is it small enough for me to surf today?" Only the few go out when the swell is pounding so hard it sounds like cannon fire but the rest watch safely on shore. That is when you can score relatively uncrowded waves but the price is steep.

Here's a memory from the 70's when Pee Wee and Bones ruled and Truelove would beat you up. O'Neill gave us the Seal Suit so we were warm. Only "aliens" (non locals) from down south Santa Cruz wore hoods. We called them squid lids. Bob Wise supplied us with custom leashes from his shop on Vicente. He had a spool of the heaviest bungee cord around that he sold by the foot. Those leashes DID NOT BREAK but they did stretch out. Anyone who went out with a custom Wise leash surely has memories like mine. Triple overhead set bearing down on you while your board tombstones 30 feet away. Trying to rub out the charlie horse in your leg (which got stretched 10 feet by that leash) while simultaneously sucking as much air as possible into your lungs before trying to dive under the next wave. Yes! Good times!??? This is what we paddled 45 minutes straight for? Mental illness at its finest. No fentanyl back then, just people dropping dead on the beach at Kelly's with their heads in bags from sniffing glue. And how about the "drought years", 75-76 with warm offshores for weeks? Anyone remember that?

6:28 Key words are "a few days a year, Ocean Beach is the best Beach Break in North America." Those conditions are best for the local people who live there. You hear the forecast, go to the Beach, wait, wait, wait, then it's perfect for 1-4 hours, then the tide changes, the sandbar changes and the perfect conditions fizzles out. The Water Temperature is typically 50-55 degrees F, not 65. A Hooded 4-5mm wetsuit with Booties and maybe Gloves will keep you warm enough to Surf.

@@RedBullSurfing I remember sitting on the beach with Kai Lenny’s parents around 20 years ago. There was almost no wind and he was (maybe 10 years old) on his windsurf board spinning all around while floating there, barely moving.

Ocean Beach can get very big and perfect. In 1988, I paddled out on a big day, got caught in the lineup trying to get out and almost drowned. Closest I ever came to death. Its a big and powerful wave, the current is tough, and theres White Sharks everywhere.

Why does the map show Apple in SF? Apple doesn’t have historical ties to SF. It’s based out of Cupertino.

@shrimpflea 6 ай бұрын

Not sure. Apple was founded in Los Altos which is nearer to San Jose.
