How far do you live from "your local" surf spot?
- Thread starter waxfoot
- Start date
Close enough that it's not 100 f'n degrees all summer
Far enough that a 2nd session is only a thought

I'm about a 10-20 min easy drive to where I normally surf. I would absolutely love to live next to a decent surf break, and be able to walk from my house to surf. Just being able to check it everyday, hop out for a quick before or after work surf. That would be killer. You guys that have that are lucky.
Welcome to my neighborhood. My home break is in the bottom left corner and my home is strait back from there on the bay side of the island. An incredible place to live 10 months out of the year and the other 2 months you just have to hunker down and deal with it.

Here's a little video, made by a friend of mine. It shows the character of the coastline, and our insane weather, quite well.

nice photo tho
Its not Santa Cruz. Its a East Coast summer tourist trap. This time of the year is insane with 300,000 summer residents plus god only knows how many day trippers. From September until June there are only about 10,000 year round residents. From late August until mid-June this is an absolutely awesome place to live and raise a family.
How often do you ride the ferris wheels?
Apparently there’s something about what it takes a “local” that I don’t understand.
Help me out here PPK.
He’ll give you a clue.
Which part you own?
How do you respond?
Yeah, li dat.
Actions. Out of the water.
Trestles? GTFO. After 1980? GTFO twice.
If surfing was/is the most important thing in your life wouldn’t be living in California. Not judging, but jfc for real?

Holy crap! That's insane and beautiful and looks really cold..... Kudos!
Southern tip of North Island.
Pretty rugged and cold, but a few dgs warmer than the South Island.

That's a lie.See, this is EXACTLY the sort of behavior I was talking about on the thread about competitiveness, and your position was that anyone who doesn't like it is just a jealous loser who can't compete.
I specifically said:
"Sometimes you're not doing anything wrong, and the person is just a hog."
Why do you feel the need to misrepresent me?

Most of the time the waves down the street from my house are garbage but every once in a while the place goes mental. Visiting surf legend on the wave of the day, on the day of the year for 2020. The buffer in my camera filled up long before he exited this tube.
There are certainly worse places for a grom to be a grom....... One of mine on the same day as above.

Currently about a 15 minute drive from my house to the spot I frequent the most. But I guess I'm not local enough anymore, because I've been barked at a couple times recently - both times by transplants from New Jersey - for daring to sit deep and wait my turn near "their" peak. Being native to a city and having multiple generations of your family live there doesn't count for much these days.
Sponge, about 20 years ago I got told I had "a lot of nerve riding an LA board" at one of the LJ reefs. It was a Spyder I think I found half-wrecked in someone's basement. My grandma lives within a few hundred feet of that reef. EDIT: I lied. The reef is tucked a little further away than I thought. It's almost exactly 2,000 feet from her living room to the peak.
