USCG Station Cape Disappointment Surf Training 2011 

I have been a licensed Merchant Mariner for over 25 years. Thank you USCG for watching out for all of us out on the water. You all are awesome!

10 years in the Marines love me some Coast Guard thanks for all the hard work USCG always there when we need you awesome

I'm nearly 60 years old and The Triumph has been at Cape D since I was a little kid. Love the USCG!

I did this in 1978. It was one of the most exillerating experiences of my life. Coasties Rock!! Keep the top side UP

Thank you men and woman of the coast guard for everything you guys do on a daily bases. ITS AMAZING

Deck Seaman and rescue swimmer, '83-'86, Group Monterey Small Boats (41'and 44' qualified), these videos bring back good and scary memories of some of my proudest days. We also trained for rescues with helo opps. Great to be able to give family and friends a look into my USCG years, as few people have any idea of what we do . My deepest respect and admiration for today's "shallow water sailors ", the world's a much scarier place now and still young people step up . Semper Paratus, the fewer, the prouder, the Coast Guard.

Simple Apparatus keeps us alive & well. Thanx Coasties.....

Old USAF type here. Nothing but respect for the USCG. Thanks for being there, folks.

Great video! I could watch this all day! Keep up the great work USCG!! We love ya!! 🇺🇸

Awesome. Thanks for the ride! You people are heroes. Thanks for your service. 💖🇺🇸

Great video! It's good to see Big "T" still playing out there. I was stationed there from 2006-10, and I do miss it. Keep up the good work and stay safe out there.

I swear this video is the most fun anyone can (legally) have on RU-vid! Excellent production work to create this incredible viewing experience. And thank you, Coast Guard, for working so hard to keep us all safe!

Gotta love those 47's and 52's! Keep up the good work from a veteran Coastie! Cheers!

My son's in BM school right now, he wants to be a Surfman. Hope he gets the opportunity!

Good stuff. Thank you. Semper Paratus

Badass! Starting my journey to become a Surfman!

Great GoPro action, well done from a former Coastie BM3 who spent many a night at Cape D on TDY from Station Portland.

nice job guys!!! Been to the cape 4 times. now member of the check of the month club

This looks fun as hell and also terrifying.

Cool and the jackets are really nice!!! Way to go Dana!

Brave hero’s every day. So much respect ✊

Love me some Coasties

BM1 Sta Cape D 1988-89. Waited my entire career for that assignment.

Awesome. I love it! Yes, I am crazy enough to do it too! USCG Small Boat SAR BM2 & Coxswain of 41 UTBs but didn't get a chance to operate as Coxswain of 44 MLB back in the 80's (Cape May India 114). Was the first female BM, Coxswain & Federal Maritime LE Boarding Officer I was aware of at the time in the early 80s. Ran SAR for 4+ years in Alaska, Florida & California then on to Law Enforcement PD. How I wish I would have stayed in to get to Cape D for heavy surf training and on one of the Polar Icebreakers! So, you young Coasties, stay in, experience all that you can because down the road you are going to kick yourself for not trying for those fun units! You have many years ahead of you so Just do it! You won't regret it! Semper Paratus all the way. Oh, Happy Birthday Coast Guard on August 4th!

Miss this place....

At 2:20 (2011) MOB Practice dummy gets tossed over the side...........waiting............ Still waiting........ 2919.....USCG MOB Practice dummy picked up outside Tokyo harbour.

Good stuff man, love those 52s

Hey "Coasties" Thank you all for keeping of us sailors safe! BTW- nothing like this on the Chesapeake Bay. Looks like your sinus cavities get a pretty thorough rinsing out there. Nothing like a little (or a lot) of salt water up the ol' schnozz to clear things out! Lewis and Clark were disappointed their canoes couldn't handle it.

thanks for ur devosion

Thank god for these big balled members of the Coast Gaurd

It's these videos that make me wish I was still in. (MLB school 89') 😊

I was born a water baby, meaning I was meant to be a mariner. Ilove deep water and the challenges it presents, while recognizing mother nature is in control! Help the helpless is my motto!

Amazing footage

Love the Triumph.......such a tank.

Why do they have to put the worst music over the vi- never mind it’s 2012

Hats off to the Coast Guard heroes at the Columbia bar who continue to save lives in this dangerous area.

I am #443 and am in the vid a few times. 1:08 is me facing driving, all of the 52' footage from 3:11 on is me driving, and then at 3:38 high fiving because of what we did at 3:46. the last shot of the 52' squaring up is me also. I thought we were going to get tossed......thanks for the comments everyone!!!

Awesome GoPro footage!!

I made it halfway and couldn't take that music anymore..

God bless those men

Coxswain qualifed as a surfman much respect out there

Much better music video than the original that goes with the song.

Great video. Nice work.

Love it!

Ahhhhh the 52's. Last of the great lifeboats left in the WORLD! Surfman #115.

Looks like fun!!

I gotta feeling this training was anything but a "Disappointment" for the crews. ;-)

Awesome!

Wild :), love it!!!

badass!

Great video. I was in Chatham Mass. in 2019 hoping to get a few pictures of the 47 footer. Sadly,it’s too shallow for it there. I have a rc model of the 36’ and 44’ from there and wanted to do a 47 from there as well. Did the 42 NLB go through testing at Cape D? Also, I’m sure the black eyed peas would approve of the video. Take care of yourselves and stay safe out there. 🍻🌲

The music is fine, that's what we do as Coasties, we always hope it will be a good night and we will make our mission.

Oh you missed the triumph!! The good ole days!!!

Hotel 114 Alameda California....1977.. boot-camp .Welcome to the hotel California, I'll never forget it.........I shoulda went to whitewater school. Proud to be a Coastie...Semper Paratus...Always ready baby...!! I ended up going to school at Governors island N.Y. and became an ET....

Keep door closed at all times while at sea. Stay safe people!!

Man O man does this video bring back memories wow I was stationed there in 1969-1971 but we didn't have fancy boats as you have now but did have the Triumph still going strong I see along with the 44309 44304 and an old 40 ftr., and surfer drills on the south jetty what memories . and NO women

Very cool🇱🇷

Nice video

Crewman on a MLB in Coos Bay, miss it.

Those 52's look a lot more stable than the 44's I ran in R.I.

Looks wet. I think I saw a renegade that still "rides" the waves. God bless.

I'd rather be in a 44 MLB before GPS. Kids these days have it too easy.

step one mute lol love you coast guard

The Black Eyed Peas thought they were losing money or something? I hope they all go down on a mega-yacht someday wishing the Coast Guard was there to save them. If they were good people, they would have donated the track. Deleting two albums from my iTunes....now.

Never had a chance to run the Triumph.

OK, Coasties, what happened with "Oscar?" His mother wants to know why he don't write, anymore!

into the green room we go....

That looks like fun.

I have the highest regard for the US Coast Guard!

Anyone else catch that man surfing out in a kayak?

Get rid of the music and let's hear the engines

I am trying to share on my facebook, but I am having problems. Does this video have some kind of protection barrier? Thanks

I think that song was meant for the navy....😂

Let's hear the noise of the sea, of the engine, of the people. Like that, it has almost no interest...

How can you find more annoying music?

When ships were wood and men were steel MLB 30201 MLB 44409 MLB 44376 Tillamook bay

The Hoodlum Navy

Poor Oscar! Hahaha

I wanna try this 😁😂

The music makes it unwatchable.

Before they used Motor life boats.

what's the purpose of throwing the dummy out there?

ha....minute 2:38! It will be a while before there is a better surf drills video than this! BZ

Gay music..

Not for weekend sailors.

Great footage........lame music.

it would be okay without the music. That music is awful.

Just deep six the music. Terrible.

Could have done without that lame ass song. Great vid tho

Ditch the stupid music--such a bunch o' scuz-buckets.

Audio killing a great video. Simply awful mic work makes it even harder to tolerate.👎👎👎

Nice video
