Best wave at Santa Cruz

is that Dave? surfing the wave?

Check this out: In the giant south summer swell in 1993, 1994, or 1995, I went out at the Lane. Because it was a south, there was no middle peak, as always. Only the point and the slot. It looked so big that it looked like the end of the world. We got waves from the point to the Dream Inn. Only time I've ever seen the point connect to the Dream Inn. Tom Powers was out on his Mav's gun. Same here. My Haut 10' 4." The crew that went to Big Sur? (Out of their fucking minds to drive south of Monterey on a South swell that size. If you know Renneker, you know where they went. Jeff Clark, Mark Renneker, Grant, Don Curry. I don't know who else. Don was in such good shape, Jeff Clark told me he was the only one who didn't almost drown.

Awesome video…mad respect to all of the west side troops Vince Ruffo Flea Froggy Barney Rat Boy

Love when middle peak is going off and Glassy 🎯💯

Awesome

We just had bodyboarding contest there and it was good 🎯💯

Hmmm

Nice ❤❤❤

OW YEAH

Nice, surfed Steamers when I was a kid only 50 years ago on my O’Neil board. Still remember due to back injuries no longer being able to stand for long and giving it up in 1997

Legend has it this song ALSO goes on for another 30 minutes

うほー！良い波でござるっ！

that's so eye candy to watch

magnificent

That's a great wave. and not many surfers in the water.

Great ride🌊

My legs started burning just watching this.

Nice ride bradah 🤙🏾

great longboarding lesson fm someone really good at it. loved how he used the whitewater to stay in the wave when the shoulder went flat

Looks better than my El Porto break, but that looks weak and boring to me

Wow such a long enjoyable ride and a big gentle wave!!

Longboarders. 😂

Thank you for sharing this beautiful ride.

Reminded me of rush hour traffic commuting dam crowded out there!

🤔💯very good

I haven't ben on a surfboard since I moved to Colorado with my wife in 1987 and I do miss the waves!
After watchimg this vid, I miss it even more!!

That is truly a rad. Brake reminds me of San Miguel and Mexico off the point I surfed a wave probably good mile and a half before I finally hit the shore. I was so tired and then I had to walk all the way back but it was worth it seem like an endless wave. Just kept reforming. I got barrel probably three or four times. It was awesome.

Legend has it, he retired after this. Satisfied for the rest of his life.

What a nice longboard wave......lucky u

You mean longest wave. Wouldn’t say that’s the best wave by any means. Ok, sure, if you are a logger maybe 🥱

WOW

My quads are burning!

Looks more like dodging people than enjoying the wave, but what do I know.

Onde FICA ESTA PRAIA ?

Not the best wave in SC by a long shot…good for a long board. MITCHELLS COVE on a giant swell connects from natural bridges.😮

I am 67 got my Mike Eaton Bonzer, mom would drive me from San Jose over through Santa's village down the mountains by Neil Youngs ranch to Steamers and just had cut offs 1969, still listening to Steely Dan and the Doobie Brothers! I miss those days but I'll be 68 soon with the wife and kids, vegetarian, and praying for peace in the Middle East! Mahalo kids!

I've got to surf steamer lane and pleasure point my only trip to Santa Cruz. Such a cool place with cool people

This is how you dream

Heaven on a stick.

Love how he rode the wave. Didn’t just stay in the pocket trying to get to the front, so much more entertaining to watch someone use the whole wave.

Surf’s better then most people drive. Weaving dodging like a ninja

Awesome wave
It actually unbreaks itself

Is it SL?

Looks like a steamy pile of mushy shit to me.

I only counted 300 people paddling out.

This guy knows this wave. And how to enjoy it while dodging the traffic

😮😍

Yes, my friends, California has seen better days. It's true if you've heard the old slogan, the 80s was The last great decade. Crowded yes, compared to the rest of the nation. But still very manageable sorry you missed it better luck next time nuff said

The pleasures of a longboard.

That's the friendliest wave I've ever seen
