This is the first time I've ever filmed anything, so I apologize for any and all problems associated with motion sickness, or general nausea induced by a poorly edited video.
This is a break that works on a NW swell that's in a pretty amazing location right next to the Golden Gate Bridge. The views there are incredible, the surf is pretty nice, and the weather on this particular day was amazing. I've heard this spot is particularly "locals only" ish. Makes sense since there were like 30 surfers out there competing for not-that-many waves.>
Beautiful, but not windy weather here in the city this weekend. Hope everyone has a good one!

That wasn't too bad. I find it interesting how the pecking order works out for who get's the wave.
Seemed like the furthest to left had right's to the wave except for the obvious "newer guy" in the white helmet. He got droped in on and had his wave snaked.
Good video, but those guys suck. Get out there and show them whos' boss! ;-)
Great video, I have always heard of that spot, reckon it was in one of the sufing movies, maybe 'Endless Summer 2' or something like that.....looked bloody cold!
lol @ Alcatraz!
outdrsmn -- yeah surfing, especially at point breaks where there are high populations around, definitely has a lord-of-the-flies (did James use that expression? lol!) thing going as far as the way they govern themselves. I actually think a lot of the experienced locals wear helmets at that spot since there are tons of rocks underwater. I think the white helmet was kinda out of position, even though he was closer to the initial peak. The wave direction wasn't perfect, a lot of the sets were breaking on the seawall.
Dave -- There was a guy who surfed here who did time for beating the crap out of another guy over waves. I'll pass on that madness. These guys seemed like pretty solid surfers though, very very few missed drops. I don't belong in places where you can't miss 75% of your drop-ins. :)
Looks like a fun mushy little wave! Too bad it's so crowded and "localized," because that's a perfect beginner's left, at least on this day. I guess that's the problem with huge cities and point breaks... Lots of surfers and few waves...
i'd rather get pummeled by waves than by angry surfers LOL... that said, I have to surf that place one of these days for kicks. fort point can get good, but it's a pretty slow, mushy wave... pretty much the opposite of OB
...nice music, btw... reminds me of summer w/ the berkeley crowd hehe
