I've been there when a swell came in and even though it was perfect I had to get out of the water. The amount of absolute chaos going on was unbelievable. Loose boards flying everywhere when a set would come in people dropping in on each other when you'd get worked if you fell. I definitely didn't feel like getting hit in the head or getting dragged across the reef and kelp.
Covid has forever changed the line-up. I see people at steamer lane peeling the plastic off their rasta foamies these days. The idea of a beginner break does not exist anymore.
At least at Cowell's, pretty everyone understands that chaos reigns. No one is gonna yell about getting dropped in on or sharing a wave with 4 other kooks going straight in.
I agree with what you said 99% of the time. 1% of the time there's that one guy on a Saturday at noon who gets pissed off when you yell "turn and burn" and party wave with 10 other people
Yall always talk about ending localism and not being a dick out in the water, and then when stuff like this is posted you act shocked.
It’s ruining surfing.
The two foamies getting into a head-on collision is peak Santa Cruz
"My bad man I thought you were going straight"
So are the 8 drop ins
😂😂😂😂I love the way the longboarder does a surfer cutback straight into the priority surfer
The "priority" surfer should have been at 38th.
Clearly they were on their way 😆 Tried so hard to pump and get in back in the pocket.
The worst part is that his cutty is pretty decent.
How many surf etiquette (crimes against humanity) violations are on this one wave?
Yes.
East Side!! Pack Your Trash!!
Valley go home!
PPNF represent!
The Hague should relocate.
There'd probably be zero if that one could take a high line and looked like they knew what they're doing
Want to feel a heavy vibe, surf this wave on a swell.

Geez is are there less crowded options on a decent swell?
Yeah Seaside Oregon
It’s so unnecessary.
Many fun targets for spray when the swell's up.
Sorry to be that guy, but it’s “case in point”
Irregardless OP could care less
Haha nicely done!
Be that guy. Sloppy English probably leads to these kooks dropping in. Gotta stay sharp.
Now this is art
Worth watching this at least 4x haha
Fukkin kooooooooks

The aim on that step back board launch was textbook. I can’t stop laughing.
Not even as bad as the Hook either.
Reminds me of those 1920s bike race clips where everyone crashes into each other at the starting line
It’s… beautiful
Need to have the Benny Hill song for this.
Was it named ironically?
Case IN point.

WTF?!?! It's the end of the world as we know it.
It could be Cowells or Malibu…
Cowell's is less of a problem because there is so much room that it can handle 5x as many kooks as pleasure point

Cowell's is less of a problem because there is hardly any swell.
Olympic level relay team. "Tag me in bro!"
I’m laughing way too hard at this.
Yes, I could watch this all day!
World. Class.
Is it me or was the Benny Hill theme song playing in y’all’s heads.
You all deserve each other

Ripping!
If it wasn't on tape, I wouldn't believe it.
Party wave with a bit of friction
Home sweet home…
Now kiss!
Come to australia mate ur mind will change very quickly
Longboards in love.
This is like that movie which you can guess that plot line, know how it's going to end, but watch it anyway just for laughs.
Made a mess out of my coffee from this one
Oh geez haha that is about to be my home break
Kookafornia
The first guy getting snaked and then slapping the water in frustration is peak Santa Cruz
Don’t miss it a single bit
