It will be my first time seeing it for real. I guess i'll have to buy some binoculars.
I haven't surfed for more than a year. I used to surf in Huntington Beach (LA) and other surrounding surf spots.
Anyone up for a lunch meetup?

 

You an OC native?

 

I haven't surfed in years either. Both my boards are in my garage. Snowboarding gets my need to surf out. Plus I don't think my 3/2 suit really fits me now and I don't think it's thick enough for up here.

I used to surf, Seal Beach, Bolsa Chica, Huntington and San Onofre.

 

Bolsa Chica is the **** lol, but too much work to get back to the line after riding a wave all the way.

And no, not OC native (or Cal native for that matter.) I spent a couple years in LA (in the valley) after moving from SD for my first job. Moved here to the bay area last year for another job.

 

Ah. I am an OC native. Hated Huntington. Still do, really. Used to spend a lot of time in Newport.

 

I went to high school in Los Alamitos, I hated Huntington, but my friends liked it. We'd usually hit Bolsa.

 

Huntington is one of the lamest places on the planet. I don't care how good the waves are, the people screw it up. Write that down.

 

Yea it was a big of work to get back to the line, but that's all part of the process. Nothing like getting up at 5am, hitting the waves till 8, then going to the Jack in the Box right there and getting 2 tacos and a water and only spending $1.

The most work I spent for a wave was by far San Onofre. I longboard anyway, so it's fun for me there. But damn, the paddle out was one of the longest ever. We finally stopped going to the north side of the power plant and started hitting the south side where the camp grounds are. Park and walk down the mountain. The rocks on the beach in the breakers were hell on your feet. Black and blue like crazy. But not nearly as much of a paddle and almost always was less crowded than the other side.

 

Yea, and I just dislike riding the pier which is where the waves break best there.

 

yeah i've come across a few douches and wannabes in HB. But it's a great break by the peer and can get crowded.
Fortunately I only went there with a group of friends.

 

i have been to the north shore in hawaii
i even rode some waves there

w00t so cal
+1 to all those spots - san onofre + teh wedge
do you think so cal is better? i like SD over LA
+1 to hating it there
yeah the locals are douches

 

To Sigma_Pi:
I effing hated LA, what a cluster f***. Couldn't wait to get out of there. so SD>LA any day any time anywhere

If I had my way I'd be in SD (no offense ), but I love it here with all the nature (state parks, the fantastic coast...) and different towns. And SF is my wife's favourite city, and she's an LA native.

 

OC>SD>LA

Write that down.
