Yeah, but 60 people out is way different than the top 10 Wozzle surfers, along with MF, KS, and 40 b-grade pros and junior pros. Would be fun to watch, but an absolute nightmare to catch anything

Back to the spectator part. How cool is it to hear the crack of the fins at the beginning of an aerial, the quiet glide till the surfer connects with the wave, watch a big floater as the surfer glides by, or getting sprayed by a massive cutback? It’s all real and you can paddle out and watch the show.

Like watching KS surf out of all of them
But wish I can surf like Medina
If that makes sense

Even if we removed all waves on which he did airs he was ahead of the others with the best speed generation and off the lips.
I haven't been to Southern California, nor have I been studying surf reports from magicseaweed or elsewhere, but just from watching many videos of trestles and reading the erBB community surf report I get the impression it's not a windy place and gets a lot of clean conditions. Gets some sort of wave most days, a lot of small wave days. Am I close?
Vic Au is quite different. Windy with weather patterns which last several days in a row rather than some morning or evening glass off. For example several days in a row of offshore, then several days in a row of onshore winds would be typical. We have a lot of high cliffs which mean that a very strong offshore can be fine to surf in.
Usually calm/very light offshore in the morning with light-moderate winds starting later morning into afternoon.
Long period swell means a lot of spots blow out easy even in light winds.
Are we watching the same thing? Medina looked like the was loading and unloading with full effort, give it all you got style. Riping like no one else probably ever, doing the 1% of airs that are perfectly placed and functional. Unbelievable but so un-Parko, who usually looked like he was waiting for a bus while he did his thing.
Slater looked like he was still riding too small of boards and trying to disengage from the wave when he shouldn't so that he could do the spinny tricks the kids do. He needs to add some volume and length back to his boards. Says a guy who can't throw even one of those turns down and wouldn't paddle out in that level crowd
Oh and Connor coffin surfs like "some guy"
it was funny to see that kid snake him. Little shlt shoulda got a dunk for that.
