^ gnarly!

it's been off the hook up here past few days. i went for a run up and down ob yesterday around sunset and there were many professional camera and film people out. all eyes on the water. saw someones board in half on the ground.

i went out this afternoon and the bigger pulses around kelly's were still close to 10 foot. i took one in the face and had a ringing in my ears that lasted for a while after. good times!

We just had arguably one of the best stretches of big swell at SF Ocean Beach ever ( and NorCal in general). This surfline thread sums it up pretty perfectly.

I was fairly surprised i didnt break a leash or board... but i did get the worst neck crunching whip-lash of my life. And this pro actually broke his neck and barely survived... i immediately purchased a wakeboarding vest.

The Day this photo was shot was one of best swells of the year it just keep pump-in all day. And I missed it! Center Island point super cool bowl shaped reef break. The surf here has been off the flippen hook as of late. Today’s surf report looks pretty good so I’m on that shit!

Peace to all; Dawg

Sloat was off scale high all day Sunday and most of Monday. I didn't have the balls to get my feet wet. Kudos to anyone that paddled out and dropped in. Your rides were spectacular from the beach. As Dirty Harry said, "a man has to know his limitations".
