In the early 1990's I spent a couple of weeks in Tenerife. Surfing and soaking up the sun and nightlife. We rented a little shack for peanuts but we splurged on a 4wd vehicle which was sort a knock off jeep CJ. We spent a number of days driving the coastlines just to search out other spots. One day we came across this one wave which was a lot like the Wedge.... big shore break that was quickly hollow at different times and then closed out quickly. Basically a big nasty drop and then fend for your life. Of course the only house for miles was right on the bluff by this beach. We didn't care and paddled out, we were soon joined by the guy who lived in the house who gave us fair warning and had the place wired. The break had a name but I can't remember it, my old age is kicking in....
Surfed some really fun uncrowded spots on that trip. After a few days of solid, clean chest to head high stuff we woke up one morning and it wasn't beautiful and sunny like it had been.... a quick trip to the beach and we found what we had come for. |
Phew, I found myself leaning hard into that wave Baz, just watching the video haha.
There is a wave just like it in Port Elizabeth, South Africa, right at the concrete entrance to the harbor. Not as quite as mean as the wedge, but the same sort of wave. |
The saltwater is dripping out of my nose....just by watching that video....lol!
The narration is what made it though - that guy is a trip! And a big good on ya to those kids having a freaking blast! |

Darn, one of the pic's is missing :(
|
Yep Bill that missing pic is a loss, but understandable on our forum here.
This amazing slow motion video of the beauty that only surfers get to see , may make up for it. Beautiful water photography. https://vimeo.com/289001328?ref=fb-share&fbclid=IwAR081csoGuyoSYSEtxX4K3Araurv3icUmWC jvx0HiVyfTkQ33cizenhIv-i0 Cheers Richard |

Rich - thanks for the link to that video. Rather ominous soundtrack but so do many of those waves look too! Did you catch the Sir David Attenborough narration? :) Jamie O'Brien, Backdoor https://scontent.ftpa1-2.fna.fbcdn.n...03&oe=5E5330FF |
Yep, the one of the chick carving a bottom turn.

That 90-second ride reminds of a ride a friend had at Rincon, near Santa Barbara. He caught the wave at Rincon and rode it for so long he could barely stand on the board by the end. He made it past La Conchita, about 2.5 miles away and had to hitch a ride back to Rincon. He surfed all over the world and that was his best ride, ever. Right where he grew up.

I love windsurfing.
|
That’s awesome! I always thought this might be fun to try if I find myself in Texas at some point. These oil tanker generated waves just go on... and on... and on... for like... minutes.
