Facts. My aunt lived in a house on Clint Eastwoods ranch property out there. It was when I was little, she moved outta that place before i started surfing but when I got older and saw the footage I was like.....WTF?!?!? That place looks so treacherous and uninviting....the entire coastline in Monterey looks scary and cold
4:22 must be 45ft foot above him Weird breaking waves.Alex grey is catching some mean waves lately shipsterns in Australia and teahupoo what a charger!
"music sucks big time, crazy footage when you cut the sound and you're stone...." I actually think the music kicks ass. It fits the video pretty well IMO. I'll admit it's very 80's and that's probably not everyone's cup of tea. Having grown up in the 80's, it's right up my alley.
I surfed a WSA contest once at Pescadero back in the 70's. 3-5 feet and glassy. I saw the name on the video title and got nostalgic, thinking I was gonna see something like that. I was wrong. Holy shit.
Talk about a dangerous break? The waves break close to shore and the boulders and whatever lies beneath the surface make for a harrowing ride! There are spots all over the world that given the right direction of the swell, that produce massive waves, not yet recognized ! Look at Nazare? The locals knew of the incredible waves, but it took years for the " surfing world " to take notice and set their sights. So many unexplored and untouched places to find and throw it all on the line for the bravest and best surfers and water enthusiasts humanity has to offer...
Yeah it's Ghost Tree alright. And you can see why it's insanely dangerous. You don't reach those rocks gentle like. There's a seldom working, similar boneyard called Schoodic Point in Maine -- the East Coast's Waimea heaving at 0:40 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-SVs--h90agM.html ..... and ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-cXVvFkh54Ic.html
I was relieved when they banned tow-ins at this spot. I worried every time guys would tackle it on skis. We watched this point since the 70's when we started surfing. Always wrote it off for paddling because of it's proximity to those sharp granite rocks. No room for error. Just too frickin dangerous.
"Hawaiian Standards" is BS. The only part of the wave size that matters is the face. By "Hawaiian Standards" a 30 foot wave at Teahupo'o Tahiti would be 3 feet, i.e., the back side of the wave. @allensaunders449 in this thread replied to you best: "Sure they are macho man".
