I drove five and a half hours to chase this swell to Santa Cruz.
I finally got off my lazy backside and took a long road trip to chase a swell. I really need to do this more. Not only did I have a blast but I filmed some insane waves at Steamer Lane in Santa Cruz. Added bonus... there were tons of talented surfers in town prepping for the Coldwater Classic WSL surf contest.
SPECIAL THANKS to Kevin Mendez for sharing his drone footage with me. Those clips are beautiful.
Thanks for watching! I'm Brad Jacobson and I'll sea ya on the sand.
Music: Matt Large, Ondolut, Elliott Holmes and White Bones.

Hey, that’s me in the thumbnail. Thanks for the shots Brad. On Friday 11/25 the swell got huge and I ended up snapping my leash and losing that board. Heaviest swim in and hold downs I’ve ever had out there.

Spent a lot of time in that water back in the day. Santa Cruz used to be my Shangri La. Man I miss those days. PS Watch out for all the damned vampires. 😉

I don’t surf but I do live in Santa Cruz and it was fun to see it from a different perspective. I walk along west cliff fairly often and love the view so much.

Great video!! No matter how long I surf still love Indicators and Cowell's. If it is a good day, 3-4 ft and the sand bottom is right, you can catch a wave for about 200-250 yards. Good times!! Keep it up Brad! 🌊🤙🎨

I moved from HB to Soledad in 2010. Surfed the Lane through that winter, great waves, surfed it mid afternoon and it would still be good. Good vibes, no hassles at all when small, big or bigger... Did I say it was cold, yes, ice cold but a great experience. Thanks for the post and bringing back some nice memories of Santa Cruz. Subbed

California is surfers' heaven. If you are willing to drive, there are waves to be had all year round. At steamers, when it is fifteen feet or bigger, 10 minutes further north at Natural Bridges State Park is a totally tubular right breaking on a slab of rocks.

@drewsacks
@drewsacks Год назад
Great video! Can I ask what kind of tripod/or at least pan head that you use. For me it's not for shooting surfing but I need something that's smooth and doesn't demand two years of getting used to. I know that Sachtler tripods are the top of the line, and they have several different options. But any feedback would be super appreciated. Thanks.
@BradJacobson
@BradJacobson Год назад
I use Monfrotto legs with a spreader and an older Monfrotto 501 head. I’ll update the legs to carbon next
@drewsacks
@drewsacks Год назад
@@BradJacobson Hi Brad. Cool of you to respond to my question re: kit. I've used a Monfrotto head a few times and struggled a bit. That said, I imagine if I were to use one more often I'd have a better feel for it. Your pans are super smooth. It's good to know that one doesn't have to have a Sachtler tripod to get those results. I gather the carbon legs would be lighter than what you've been using up till now? One last thing: I grew up surfing in So. Cal. I live in NY now and so many surf videos become a bit repetitive after a while, but the way you put yours together with you in them, it makes them really personal and fun to watch. Keep up the good work.
