This Is The Only Clip You Need To Watch From San Diego’s Recent Swell Bender

At the moment, there are plenty of reasons to not live in California. Shutdowns, curfews, and the atrocious taxation of income. One thing that has certainly not been an issue the past few months is wave quality. Southern California has been on an all-out swell bender since December.

This swell recap comes from a barrel-lovin’ pirate crew. Skip McCullough’s backside tube riding is more sorcery than skill. Tosh Tudor continues to take off later, sit deeper, and put weird boards in weird places. I don’t think Papa Joel’s surf DNA skipped a generation; if anything, it mutated and grew stronger.

Other disgustingly talented features include Nick Melanson, Shane borderland, Mick Davey, Johnny Noris, and more. Live vicariously through the talented group here, courtesy of local filmmakers Cameron Vurbeff, Hunter Groom, and Max Beyer.
