I feel like a bunch of California breaks--Lowers, Steamer Lane, Malibu, and Huntington--ought to be in Episode 2 for surf history. Probably the various breaks around Waikiki for the same reason.

Best wave I ve ever surfed by a mile was Desert Point. Fast, shallow and scary, but well worth it. Peace

Hi there, Dan! On the Jeffrey’s comments, it is you surfing? It seems to me YES…good surf, man! By the way, I’m almost 70 years old, from Florianópolis, just came back from Lobitos, and I had a great time at Piscinas and 3 Cruzes…cheers

Dan like you said how heavy Pipeline and Cloudbreak is it truly is insane how easy the pros make these waves look so much so that you mind surf it with them😂

Totally agree, super heavy waves in real life haha!

i am a 65 surfer i am a low intermediate. why don't you make a video where you suggest places that fits surfer of my age. but remember the over 60 likes to surf not only long board and adds in which season fits a 60 yo surfer.

The secret of surfing J Bay is that the power source of the wave is not in the trough but 3 quarters of the way up. You have to stay high and know where the wave slows down to do critical manoeuvres or ride the tube. You get to know it after some time spent. Favourite surfers that drives the point home would be Joel Parkinson, Jordy.

Surfed pumping J-Bay 2 weeks ago, fantastic wave.

@exxotixjeff2822 17 күн бұрын

It’s a shame that Dan goes all the way there , and doesn’t know how to surf down the line speed, he only wants to surf the slow part of the wave to try and improve his moves! Missing the point I think

As they always say on the WSL it is an easy (that's a relative term) wave to surf but hard to surf well. When there is size it opens up a bit but it gets super crowded and on big days and getting caught on the inside at impossibles can give you an uncomfortable work out. The paddle out can be very tricky if you don't know the key holes. The rocks are sharp with some rock banks filled with rock mussels which are not very friendly on the feet. Once you have it taped you will avoid point as it can't touch supers in terms of power, speed and hollowness (only perhaps on a really big day the top of point can pitch a proper barrel)

Seems to me actually making J Bay all the way through,would be more of a blast and impressive, than Attempting a cutback and blowing it , missing out on 100s of metres of speed wall .

Snappers accurate, best and worst surfs , it's mostly too crowded and if even half pumping and you cant hang with the pros in terms of take off position etc. you're not getting waves, that said there's heaps of uncrowded pockets along that stretch where you can have great surfs. 6-8ft Cloudbreak isn't tiny.. that's massive (in aus ratings) especially on shallow reef.. you're a sick surfer screw sending it on stuff like that, live to surf another day!

That’s true, if you only surf Snapper you’re always going to be frustrated, but down the line can be often unnoticed by the hordes
