Surfed it nearly every morning on my way to vero. It was usually empty maybe one other guy out. Thanks army corps of engineers, you wrecked the break and dumping sand on the reef system to protect the condos built on the dunes on barrier islands just shows corporations rule the usa. Got to enjoy it while it was there and thats some great memories. Nothing lasts in this world.

That was the absolute premier wave of Florida - we surfed it hard 69-72. You had the have your shit together because the peak was so powerful that it would have you flying off the shoulder in the blink of an eye. Taught us all how to master a full wrap cutback for sure. and then we moved to settle in NSB where that new jetty was producing great waves on both sides of Ponce inlet and could handle crowds better than the tiny arena of Sebastian. Occassionally we'd see MOnster Hole looking good, but no one ever went out there back then for obvious reasons. The idiots who redesigned Sebastian's north jetty must have been fishermen because that's who benefits for the death of first and second peaks. Looked at cams there this morning and saw the surf fishermen all set up where we would be enjoying first peak wedges in the 70's and 80's. I think they destroyed it in the mid 90's? Really sad. That 1st peak wedge would double the size of small swells and hold big swells too. Dry barrels are so hard to find on the east coast and man do I miss those sessions down there before it was publicized with the Fletcher Sharp cover photo in the surf mag and crowds exploded. And goofy footers started claiming 3rd point lefts which really fired too, as crowds expanded and we bailed out for two inlets north. At least the submerged rock ledges of the Satellite Beach area are still as good as back then. Phil Rouzer and Donnie Londini stayed in Indialantic to surf that break so I guess all of my informal surf team didn't leave warmer waters of the Cocoa area

Thanks for sharing your surf stories . It was great to be a local back then.

So many great days surfing there in the 80s and early 90s. When first peak was on it was incredible!

Thanks for putting this together! Very nice

I took it for granted that most of the surfers went there on any given day. I surfed more and better waves than any of those guys when I lived down down the road aways.. Thank you very much boys

I surfed 1st peak and im from st augustine back in the 90's this spot was nothing to fear as far as the locals trust me.

It was a sick Peak. Grew up surfing there in 80's and 90's and believe me if you weren't ripping it, you were out. Thanks for the amazing blast from the past.

I was with ya brother in the water back then too.. IT was smoking on all of the East and SE swells and Spanish House

Never caught it good down there at Sebastian, that first pic though looked like Ponce and I am glad Ponce didn't get that notoriety because it was crowded enough and when Ponce was on all those Sebastian boys would be there!

It still gets good waves on the right conditions

So once a year maybe.

Man, those Army Corps of Engineer's sand "restoration" projects in the 90's ruined so many waves along the Florida Coast. I was a Jax Beach lifeguard when they did the Jax beaches, and before that-- all the peaks were so consistent and you knew which peak would do what given the conditions. But as soon as they pumped all that sand on to the beaches, the breaks were never the same after that. Always shifting after every storm. And now I live in Rincon, PR and those same assholes are proposing a major sand restoration project here. Kooks

Surfed there 80 s 90s. Used to camp in back of Spanish house all weekends

Wow what a bummer!

Similar to the Wedge in California. Like a Gigantic Tongue! Pitching out into a perfect Right! It's Long Gone now! 1972 before leashes! Never got close enough to ride 1 next to the jetty. So Heavily guarded back in the day. It was for locals only! 🌊🏄

Never surfed Florida, the one time I went to go swimming there I was stung by jelly fish! Lol

Sick vid

I've never surfed but always respected those who do, it's such a cool sport. So sad to see something so pure get ruined for no good reason. Would have loved to been here in the 80's 👍

See you soon FL. Traded the surf board in for a snowboard. Time to wrk on my tan again

Same 🙌🤙

It really is a shame how it’s is now. That place was magical in its day!

I remember one of the Stubbie Pro contests and the heat Ross Pell was in was a freak set rolled thru. Ross completely destroyed everthing he took off on

The Rhinos rock work project will bring it back!!😃

To bad ,,, all you focused on is the snobs that ruined the inlet . The old timers like myself , we surfed there starting in the 60's . I designed my own boards and had them made in Delray . Back then , even on a bad day , to many kooks in the water . Shark pit is just a few miles north . We kept it a secret for years . Wabasso , Jupiter , Ft. Pierce , Hobe Sound , even Monster Hole . All ruined by jerks with no class . All these turkeys in this video are younger that my Grandsons . You should have been there yesterday ,,,,,,,

Especially Jupiter and ft Pierce have been ruined…even my home break of lake worth pier/ reef road is starting to get kooks everywhere especially lake worth

Thank you for staying away from the 1502

I was there

I'm from Tampa and some of my first waves were at Sebastian. I got chewed to pieces by da local OG's outdere. Unc said I looked like Jimi Hendrix on Peyote.🤣

Don't drop in on anybody! Get closer to the peak! No drop-in!!!!!!

Surfed it as a kid in 80s/90s…they destroyed the wave.

“Shark pit “ Summer of 65

it basically blows azz there now LOL damn that is sad but great video

Spanish house

An accident created a jewel. An idiot took it away (with the extended cage...) Dynamite that cage - there never was any "navigation issues" ... SITU sucks. #blast_it_back #fire_situ

Wave sucks now

Sucks now
