I love surfing here on my Wavestorm. I usually come in a minivan, and bring along some friends. Never less than 6 of us. We bring lunch and set up at the base of the cliff. I love to ride with my Go Pro mounted to by board, and post all our antics to cheer up the bay boys that might have missed the session.
+ggm66 Me too. Every time I take my Wavestorm out there, the locals give me some pointers and then treat me to drinks and steak dinner at the Admiral Risty just a bit south.
+SilentGaming SG beaches are public and by the very definition not secret it's fair use by anyone being a dick about it just makes it harder on everyone
+van wray oh really? Here's more info on these scumbags: Bay Boys’ gang-like intimidation, vandalism and harassment of outsiders denies surfers access to the reeling righthander at Palos Verdes’ Lunada Bay. The suit identifies individuals who it calls several members of the gang: Sang Lee, Brant Blakeman, Angelo Ferrara,Frank Ferrara, Nicholas Ferrara, Charlie Ferrara, and Michael Rae Papayans, and Alan Johnston. ALL OF THEM FROM PALOS VERDES CALIFORNIA.
+SilentGaming SG It isn't a secret spot tho. The only reason people haven't been surfing there is because they don't want to deal with the ass holes that surf there
Locals are so nice here with lots of Aloha spirit to spare. They shared so many 10-footer waves with me that I lost count of how many I got. They were always cheering me, even when I drop on them accidentally. After the session, I exchanged emails with them, and they invited me to their homes for lunch and coffee. Blessed Lunada Bay!
I updated this video to 720 hd format, it features even more wasted waves, also added the left on the other side of the bay, some of the biggest "Avalanche" video available, here's the link.... ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-shp2FoCGpqk.html
its like waimea out there...word on the street is they're going to start having a contest here, same style as the Eddie...supposedly it's gonna be called the "Timmy"...named after a local tweaker who has camped in the bay for over a decade.
You guys are right, It is basically like surfing big Upper Trestles. Still a lot of fun but Redondo Breakwater is a much heavier wave plenty hollow there.

This place is great. I surf here every holiday. There’s never any stress. Don’t listen to the old wives tales. The bay is the most happy go lucky bunch of hippie trust fundies. They love shootin the breeze. Half of ‘‘em don’t even surf, they just watch and cheer ya on. They’ll even offer ya a beer on the way out. They absolutely love meeting new people. So stock up the van, bring the kids, invite cousin Jimmy, bring plenty of sunscreen and your folding chairs because the bay is for everyone at all levels.

That looks like a fun break. Looks a lot like K38 on a big swell. I lived in an abandon house on K39 cliff overlooking at 17 years old after my mom kicked me out for catching me with some girl I had met at a concert the night before. It was my paradise at the time. Old school Mexican style.
Nice spot...looks like it would take epic height and volume to make this place shut down..... swells swing in pretty quickly, and tightly stacked, so she doesn't give up her charms too easily. A bigger and faster version of the right at Garbage/Sunset Cliffs/Pt. Loma. Even the surroundings look the same.

I shot this on my 2/3 inch 3 chip camera with a SVHS recorder. Special note: everybody was cool this day my buddy was out there and we're from Huntington Beach. I went and surfed Redondo Breakwater after this with 7 guys out and they were cool also!

Well the drop isnt that vertical. More shoulder than anything. But I am impressed with the size of the wall of the wave.. And if heavy local-ism persist here, its due to the fact that nobody has heard " Lunada, and because its not a world class break or a surfing destination. So the locals wanna think they have something special.. Instead of Lunada, it should be called "Younada Beach" I have never surfed there. But it infuriates me when I hear surfers practicing anti- surfing attitudes. Everyone is entitled to the ocean. God gave every one equal rights to it. And to patrol a surf break like a great white, is to play god, and karma comes to those who practice
Beautiful point break, but 3 seconds into it the power just fizzles. It looks good on take-off if you have someone taking snaps. Basically, a bust. Any big waves that might show some potential goes unridden.
Hi Tristan, things seemed to be under control last winter due to heavy law enforcement, this next winter who knows? The day in this video everyone seemed cool, you're are right about surfing these places on the biggest days, hassles go down. It's your car that can get messed up most times, especially this place! Even parking a 1/2 mile away in front of someone's house. Make sure to take off any revealing plate frames or stickers on your car that shows you're from out of town can help? I did this video with a friend -link below- with a lot of details about Lunada Bay featuring a very rare last inside look of the demolished Hut Fortress Clubhouse.... ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-6qgU_SN1Vus.html
Damn, thought this was a better wave. Does anybody ever sit deeper on a, say, 7'6"? IMHO-it would greatly enhance the fun level. Antiquated performance level based on this vid.
the bombs looked fun. a few looking a little hairy. Didn't understand why everybody was taking off on the shoulder and not the biggest part of the peak. saw a few guys catch a few bombs but hey, they were have a lot of fun. Plenty of room on those waves for 2 or 3 guys. Look at Waimea when its 15 plus, 4 guys on a wave! If all your doing is going straight with a few bottom turns you should be able to do circles around each other.

Cool to see, remember seeing a photo of this place in Surfer mag about a million years ago and didn't know CA got that big. That was 20 years before anyone surfed Mavericks, tho. Looks about 12 to 15 to me, maybe some bigger set waves . I have seen Pipe and Sunset Beach in the winter, probably 10-12. Guys were freefalling down the face, much more dangerous than how they ride today. Before the Aussies hit HI so only about 10 guys out and almost no one on the beach. Now I know where Lunada Bay is. Beautiful place.
looks like a great wave that first guy had the best one and he fell ,i bet he was bummed. Looks like you could get some deeper ones than the ones ridden but its easy to say that here watching compared to being out there. Sunset beach is way heavier but for LA this is a pretty good point break. Good they keep the crowd down cuz every other place in so cal has way too many guys who have no respect for anyone. Not to sure about throwing rocks or busting up cars though but some order has to be kept to keep it the way it is.
Said like a true Legend. RIP. You wrote me a signed note/ autograph I have it hung up in my house look at it everyday. Surf N SK8 for life. Hope you,re ripping where ever you are now.
Hey man I really got to confess to the Lunada Bay boys it was me who popped your tires destroy your cars and everything else. I was really Vindicated on you guys because you guys tried to push me off the cliff I shouldn't have done that to your cars and your trucks and stuff but anyways over twenty years have passed by so I had to get this off my shoulders now living in the different part of the world and there's no locals here on a beautiful island so yeah don't have that problem anymore thank God so sorry about that guys but now you know who did it peace and love to you guys God bless.
That break looks a lot like the place I moved to for the summer and would go to often for weekends etc.. At the start of summer after my 3rd year of HS I went to a concert and brought home a girl. My Mom opened my door in the morning and said who is that. I nugged her asked her name and told her. I got booted and moved into an abandoned house on the middle of the cliff oceanfront opposite the break. The cove was full of lobster and food was great and cheap. Beer was 25 cents a bottle in the bars. I sold boat rides from Ensenada to Todos Santos to surf and fish turned in bottles from campers on the cliff top on the break side too. 17 years old and could by liquer go to bars and nightclubs and have girls over for after parties. It had a block wall with iron gate a big fire pit and shed under a water tower to lock stuff up. I had a 4x4 too. PARADISE BACK THEN. It was K38 Baja Mexico 30 years ago. GOOD TIMES GREAT WAVES
I appreciate hearing surf stories like that Brian, when times were so much simpler to live and enjoy life! Also gas was about. 27 cents a gallon- We must be running out of dinosaurs to fill our cars right?
Yes those times were nice the things I thought about were not what the Gov. was doing etc.. It was how was the waves and where are the hot girls. Not caring what others think of me. Well I still don't. I sometimes think back how simple it was and enjoyable it was. Like this song.. ..ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-TrrTJRjgimM.html
Yup, it's called "Dominator". With the right swell, tide & offshore wind that left is amazingly hollow, clean, fast & dangerous! Peaks on multiple boils above rocky reef turrets. the entire ride is over razor sharp reef. Often nobody is out there. But, for a wild open surf break & nobody to hassle you... It's a true wild wave to experience ! I've lived in PV for over 50yrs & have surfed most every wild unvisited reef break there is around here & that is one of my top favorite for remote clean hollow & fast. Good Luck!
Lunada Bay IS a very dangerous place to surf. Frequent open ocean rogue wave sets are common. Anyone without excellent waterman skills should be nowhere near the water. Like it or not by keeping people unfamiliar with Lunada Bays character out of the water HAS saved too many lives to count and truthfully tell me if you lived there would you act any different?
I once caught Lunada on a low, low tide. Was anything but mushy. Still, the locals are full of shit. Where do you think they surf in the summertime, definitely not in Palos Verdes which has no waves from June through August. Rich hypocrites.
does it ever get hollow..? looks like giant San onofre.. I hear the P.V estates "Locals" are very friendly and inviting to ALL fellow surfers, boogie boarders and Kneeriders..
Hey Bay Boys, how would you feel if I were to sit deep and pick off a few of those unridden set waves? Feel free to drop in, you can have the shoulder!
Wow! Dave Lerman "The Worlds Greatest Showman" It is an honor for me to have you visit my RU-vid channel Sir. I upgraded this video to a little better quality, also featuring "Avalanche" and a few more wasted waves by The Bad Boys, check it out.... ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-shp2FoCGpqk.html
Since this place hardly ever breaks,where do the "bay boys and girls surf the rest of the time?Why they hop in their brand new SUV's that mom and dad bought them and go to another beach.
So basically only the gentlest, Sunset like waves that you could catch with a Costco board get ridden and anything heavy is completely avoided. No wonder they want know one to see them.
This is pretty much why their asinine tactics work. Its a long drive, barely ever breaks, and then its not that good. No one wants to deal with it for mushy big waves on a big swell.
Major's bay Kauai is better. It's hollow on the inside after a long wall. This wave holds up well for body surfing, then it goes soft. It's obvious that these kooks don't have the cajones to body surf this wave. It's doable with just fins.
i surf p. v cove and on a big day's ,really big it does get your attention. this day here does like fun but not really "looks are different out in the water" i've seen and been out on15 plus day's it took me over 30 min to get out. when i did make it out there it had my total attention, then some and that's slightly describing that situation .
It appears to me that no one can read the line up and position them selves to take off in the primary take off zone....if these are locals here, wow, thought they would be able to read the line up better then us who see it by cam....I figured this lineup/take off zone awhile ago!
Thats funny. So the local kooks arent too vigilant about catching the sets. Funny. This winter I'm gonna be organizing "Lunada Bay Surf Tours". We'll be bussing in some real surfers 👍😂🏄🏽
I watched that localism video the other day and thought that there might actually be some heavy hitters out there who know what they’re doing and nowhere to sit when the big waves come all I saw was a bunch of local shoulder hoppers guys that never catch waves in Hawaii.
Hi Seawolfaka, have you seen my Luanda Bay Hut Fortress video? It pretty much shows everything about down at the bay. Check it out when you can, here’s the link, thanks for dropping by!.. m.ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-6qgU_SN1Vus.html
Yeah, Brah...It was like Nazare out there....Totally, like triple overhead. I'd call this place "fatty-Mc Mushburgers. I thought when a set rolled in you were supposed to head for the peak?
Like your videos- the comments here crack me up! All the armchair warriors telling us how THEY would do it better! Get out there and show us how YOU would handle these waves! Yea Right!
+bwolf2d Thanks for visiting, this Lunada Bay video is actually bigger than it looks! Video always knocks it down a little and I am taping from about 100 feet up on a cliff. The guy that blew this thumb nail cover shot 0:19 came in after that wave and told me he was dragged and pinned underwater for 2 and a half more waves after that! He said he was seeing stars and almost faded to black! If you notice the clean up set starting approx 2:57 a couple of those guys did not come up for awhile also!.....
