Olaf- the last wave in your video is out of control.
No way I thought he'd make it.
Those guys are nutz down there.
Thanks for posting that.
Videos of Shipsterns and other cold water slabs remind me of Gritstone videos.
Totally competent guys making it by the skin on their teeth or providing us viewers with some Grade A carnage.

Sorry to get all mellow on y'all, my pulse is still pounding from the last couple videos, but here's a Brant pushing through the shore break in Edmonds Washington.

It often occurs to me this year or two, surfing has surpassed climbing. It has finally addressed its real questions, the peel is off. Terrific video, that GoPro piece Oman just put up. All-time!! Great piece of music too, amillionbilliondyingsuns: "Plush".

Was looking for some Andy Irons stuff to post, but nothing (video) seemed to capture it.

I've surfed Blacks a few times.
The most memorable being a beautiful weather weekday with no significant swell in the water. It was flat where I lived so we drove south.
From the trail, well you know, from the trail it looked meager but inviting.
By the time I was on the sand a set rolled in. Eeeeeeeeoooooowwwww!
made it out fine and got a few. I was actually pretty close to my limit and felt kind of timid.
The main peak was packed with dudes wanting those lefts, ooooh, those lefts.
So I sat at north peak, where I could watch guys getting slotted and be in position for some rights.
Got a couple good ones, took some major lumps, dialed in a new board(r.i.p Midget)and shot the sh#t with my bro Charlie(of Socorro/17mi dr fame).
Well, Charlie caught one in so I figured next one I'm in too.
An absolute gem came right to me. I'm right at the knuckle. I make the drop, it bends, throws, and I'm standing up in the barrel. One of my best ever, in fact, spit and all. I see Charles the nutty professor on the beach so I claim it. Bigtime claim. Kook claim.
I walk up the beach towards Charles and our stuff and....it's not Charles. I'm embarrassed until he says, "sick one bro, what are you riding?"
edit
There is nothing like watching those lumps roll in and then seeing them make a 90 degree turn right towards you.
Only at Blacks.
