Sweeet at least I could bring my magic eps boards for groveling to average waves!!sure any board works down there and not a concern. Beach break has peaks and one other towards Cabo. Crappy left off the rock and more a right.
Used to go there all the time but work summers with winters off now. Last time I was there was more crowded than I ever saw it. Ccchhhhhhannnngess suck.
Used to camp on the East Cape for about a Month and that's even changing. You'll get some waves although mostly rights. Have fun
Wave Looks way better than any zippers video footage from YouTube I’ve seen hope Coronavirus won’t be in a way by July to travel with a peace of mind
I have more photos of this day. Its actually The Rock and it was pumping that day. I didnt get any of it though. Leaving that day, boards packed already and battling Staph Infection.Wave Looks way better than any zippers video footage from YouTube I’ve seen hope Coronavirus won’t be in a way by July to travel with a peace of mind
Good luck at zippers lol
Post em, that's more than pumping, that's borderline macking.I have more photos of this day. Its actually The Rock and it was pumping that day. I didnt get any of it though. Leaving that day, boards packed already and battling Staph Infection.
Yeah this is why I said good luck. Saw a blonde guy get jumped by five guys half his size just for being gringoThe only time I was ever sent in was at Zippers. It was classic.
It had been flat for a while, then they ran the QS event during the swell. I paddled out, mid morning, the day after the contest finished and it was PACKED. The QS'ers had enough and were gone, but their were probably at least 25 guys out but the same 4-5 were getting the set waves. A couple surfed ok, the others were pretty bad, but they could catch waves. I waited a while, got an in betweener, and one of the long haired Mexican dudes paddled on the shoulder. I was on my backhand and high lined past him and heard him yell, but I kept surfing. As I paddled back up the point and sat inside of the pack, shoulder hopper starts screaming from the top of the point, "fook You Gringo". "No Gringos Allowed!".
I caught another wave a little while later in the little grom bowl. I paddled halfway back up and Shoulder Hopper surfs halfway down the point, kicks out next to me, bee lines it toward me "You don't understand?!, Get the fook out"!
I answered, "No entiendo, what's is the problem?" I had not hassled anyone. I didn't drop in on anyone. I caught 2 waves to the other people's 4-5 waves. But he wasn't having it.
"Go in! No fucking Gringos!".
I sat there baffled for a moment, the groms looked at me and said "sorry, he's crazy". THen I paddled in.
I couldn't stop laughing at the whole scene. I packed up, caught my flight an hour later, and headed home.
Ive surfed Zippers heaps of times just like other spots around the world with no beefs. Did I get dropped in on? Yes for sure, but also wasn't thrown out or beat up. Have a good attitude and dont be a dick and you'll get waves.Yeah this is why I said good luck. Saw a blonde guy get jumped by five guys half his size just for being gringo
That is typically my experience. This case was a noveltyIve surfed Zippers heaps of times just like other spots around the world with no beefs. Did I get dropped in on? Yes for sure, but also wasn't thrown out or beat up. Have a good attitude and dont be a dick and you'll get waves.
Yep. That was the way I took it. Then you sprinkle 100 or so pro and want to be pro surfers and their travel mates for a contest that hogs the swell. I empathized.Having spent a lot of time in Cabo I get why they have attitudes. Planes land every few minutes with donkeys wanting a lot of waves because they only have a few days there.
Zippers used to be a fun wave but suffered greatly after they did the Marina down the way. Its been slowly getting better but pretty shitty now. Thats why The Rock is so crowded now. Two spots used to keep the crowds down but now at one zone now.Was supposed to be going in a couple weeks..stupid virus
Last trip 2 years ago, surfed the rock and it was like surfing good Leo Carrillo: crowd was mellow but competitive.
Is Zippers very sensitive to swell direction? I figured i would be surfing there mostly, but it was breaking really quick, unmakeable on the sets. Everyone was at the rock.
Zipper's had a natural channel/riptide, you could ride every wave all the way to shore, never worried about close out. Now the channel is filled in, the ride is now, take off, pump, pump, hammmer.Zippers used to be a fun wave but suffered greatly after they did the Marina down the way.
