Historic Day of Surfing in San Diego - December 29, 2023
Спорт
Friday, December 29, 2023
I’m pretty dang happy right now. Today was by far the best session I’ve ever witnessed in San Diego. As you will see, it’s not the most organized or easy wave to read, but the potential for a session of this level has been in the making for a long time.
I want to send a huge thank you to Damien Hobgood who I’ve been shooting photos of here for nearly a decade. He used to paddle out in psycho conditions where no one thought it was possible, and it was borderline most of those days. His wave from the last El Niño in 2016 was seriously historic (Watch Surfing Magazine’s video: Just Up The Coast) and the same angle I shot that photo, is what I chose to film from today. He also helped babysit my daughter Koura this morning so I could shoot, and then helped line up our friend Kevin to continue babysitting all our kids when he paddled out.
I also want to thank Skip McCullough. La Jolla local and a core icon! You can tell he was waiting for the stars to align to show what he can do out there. Amazing performance. Someone pay this man!
What was originally supposed to be a short window of me filming this morning turned into 7:15am-3pm on the sticks, zero food or water, dodging parking tickets, editing until the late hours of the next morning, and about to drive straight to Mammoth with my daughter and girlfriend on no sleep, just pure passion!
I hope you have the same enjoyment watching this footage as I did shooting it!

I’m a San Diego native and have surfed all over SD county. I am now (and permanently) unable to get into the water due to complications from cancer surgery. I appreciate you capturing these amazing moments in SD. 🙏🏼 I live vicariously through any surf vids.

The perfect footage. No music, no special effects... It's just like being there. FINALLY! Thank you for this!
I surfed Sunset cliffs yesterday. It’s was unbelievable. Broke my favorite board. There were only 8 of us out there, very experienced locals. 5 of us broke boards. That’s a 62.5 % kill ratio lol. And the shore break paddling in from that was just insanity.

I was surfing in Pacific beach 2 days ago and my leash snapped and was in the impact zone of 10-12ft waves for a couple minutes! These waves don’t play around, I’m happy I made it back

How tf u get out
I am an old guy, ex Californian in Atlanta… what a cool watch this was. Thanks from the dirty south! Man, when the sun came out, it just went straight magical!
This used to be my spot back in the early 90's!!! Absolutely love seeing guys charge this place. Ron would be stoked!!! Miss you buddy!
Pay attention to this master of One & Done surf video with commentary and dialogue. Cover the scene with video. Color the action with pointed descriptions. Contrast with different observations. Feels like a chat among friends. Fantastic coverage. Thank you.

Great video!! Brings back memories of surfing that same spot in the late 80s and early 90s. Epic conditions!
Epic! Historical! Thankful to watch! Go Tosh!
Phenomenal video, epic waves and surfing! Thank You for your passion!
excellent! Thanks for being there, I feel like I was there too just watching this. ✌️✌️✌️
That was epic. Thank you for documenting!
Someone just give Skip the keys of the city of La Jolla please

Thanks for putting this together. Epic!
Wow those are some gnarly waves Those are some brave surfers
So glad you captured it, epic world class surf!
That's insane! I learned to surf on Pacific Beach last year and now I surf on Lake Michigan but these waves are on a whole other level!
Thanks mate, was awesome that you caught it all and edited too! Great to see!
Great video! Thanks for sharing.
Keep coming back to this. 12:05 and elsewhere mini-Chopes, super thick round barrels pealing off the clear subtropical waters of the Southern California Countercurrent. Spectacular. I've been out of surfing for a while having only just moved back to near the coast. I had no notion this was kicking off, except I could smell the salt spray from 7 miles inland! Just a really cool natural event, both mother nature and these surfers putting on a show!
Thanks for sharing the stoke! Those waves look insane 🤙
Sick footage. Appreciate it!
So sick. Team effort making this video happen!! Go Jimmy 🌊
All time day Thanks Jimmy!
THANK YOU for the great video!!!
I've seen SO many days like this at Ocean Beach that LOOK good but no one can get in the right spot as it shifts and the current moves everyone.

He's not lying lol. You have 2 sections of reef that closeout into each other on half of the waves (on the best days). You fall deep on the south end and you have a 20 minute circle back through the channel. The good ones feel like you're too deep but you are not. There's so much that goes into it. These guys are great surfers that are making it look like it's doable. Black's is way easier of a wave.

Holy hell! Great footage.
Very cool....Fiji Pipe in San Diego!!!!🌊🌊🌊
Yeah Jimmy nice footage of the boys charging. I've been sick for the last 2 weeks so I'm glad to see some local footage without leaving the house. I felt like I was there.
Great upload
The waves and weather are all that I miss from CA, but damn do I miss em.
I could smell the waves all the way in Vista on Friday. Intense churn out there!
Skip and Damo came through !!!sick boys
Good stuff. I shot for the first three hours of the day and then bailed. Seeing some of the rides you got I'm now kicking myself for not hanging around until the tide started to drop. Oh well, live and learn.
That left looks so fun and heavy!
Awesome footage 🤙🤙
You know it’s hectic when New York’s own pipe master is there
epic footage
Over Loading!!!🔥

This was my home break from 1990-1998. North swells are always shifty, the place shines on rare big southwest swells. When it walls out across the channel to the right all the way to the break named after a street, then it's really big.

much respect for catching this session and even more respect to the surfers making it out!
I live in La Jolla and have been watching the power the past few days when I walk my dog down. It’s amazing to see the surfers literally at the Cove when they are normally down at the Shores bc of where they’re breaking. Also, can you please explain to someone who is too cowardly to surf, how are the boards breaking? Is it the powerful smashing of the waves or are they hitting the rocks? You guys are incredible athletes!!!

Watch the movie North Shore. 1980s movie see that place there. (Place where the top meets bottom). Don't be there!. So the boards were there. The lip of the wave is a karate chop.
@bloblablah7409
6 ай бұрын
Sometimes when a wave is pitching, guys will bail their board so that the board is positioned parallel to the lip of the wave to distribute the energy of the lip more evenly across the board as opposed to the lip landing on the board perpendicularly where it would put more stress in one small area of the board increasing the probability of the board to snap

Boards are basically potato chips. I broke 3 one day, and it was only 7-8 feet, like this.
Great footage man

I hope todays another rad day Haha.. I went to Cari's & OS just to watch too..
Great video.
Santa always brings the surprise swells around this time of year!
