Just In: Seal Beach’s Cinderella Day!

Garbage closeout turned into a beauty queen today!

Seal Beach, in Orange County, California, is a garbage closeout shore pound 364 days of the year. One of those spots that’s not even worth checking.Out of the way, always terrible.

But if you live nearby, you get lucky once in a while. Today everyone got very lucky indeed.

The clip’s a half-hour long, no soundtrack, from Mike Lucas Media, and there isn’t a dull moment.

Have a watch.

So is Mike Lucas media literally a guy named Mike Lucas who owns an iPhone and is able to operate its video recording function?

sick wave, but fucked-up shallow. The wave at 6:13 literally broke my back. Got picked up and dropped onto my feet, the weight of the wave scrunched me like an accordion, and now my L1 vertebrae has a compression fracture.

Seal Beach, gently sandwiched between a naval weapons depot ( logo: a seal balancing an atom on its nose as missiles leap playfully from the water) and L.A. World Port, industrial strength gutter to millions. Get some…

That logo is so beautifully, gloriously Cold War. Chas would love it.

Edit: the seal’s actually balancing a globe on his snout. Not quite as cool as I remembered, but still not bad.

Katin should make some trunks with that logo as the pattern.

Is this what it’s come to: don’t even edit the shit anymore? I guess the future holds unmanned cameras capturing random, out of focus, out of frame images of nobodys. Awesome.

When first is more important than best, it’s just a race to the bottom.

Prefer this to stupid sunrise through trees shots and silhouettes of cunts checking the surf with their fucking cappuccinos

Raw Footage! Fuck yeah! Special treat for all of those who, like me, would take amateur homemade porn over scum, if ego-shattering, professional productions any day. Some highlights for the busy man though:

2:00 to 2:30 – Carnage fest. Somebody tags @kookslams on this gold mine please.
3:08 – Well done bro! 8.87 for this little nugget to no-claim
9:53 – He just sat there and enjoyed the VISION… Pottz?
11:34 – Badge of honour mate, enjoy your broken ribs.
12:51 – Fuck me, a kneeboarder! You still have those in Cali? Awesome!
13:08 – Alphamaling the outer reef… Will he pull out the Irons’ special: shorebreak connection to carnage?
20:08 – We see here that WAVE SELECTION will be crucial today… Pottz?
21:05 – Ahahahaha
24:28 – Board has enough, decides to commit suicide.
26:20 – See, he was eaten alive by what I call the tube monster™©
27:35 – RastaBro recaps the session in one wave + anti-claim, we salute you soldier of the gnar.
29:35 – One of those amateur moments when you realize that pro surfers are real athletes. Airs are a lot tougher than what they look like.

And LOL at all those brand-new, shiny Christmas boards getting destroyed on their first outings. And LOL at how most people completely refuse to ride backside when conditions are getting dumpy. GOOD STUFF!
