So its a battle of words and wits for who has the ultimate homebreak? Well, I'll put up Ocean Beach San Francisco as my nominee...  OB is a 3 mile long stretch of gnarly beach on the western part of SF.  Surf can range from nothing to 50 Ft. depending on the swell.  I've surfed days @ 15 Ft. where I almost sh*t my wetsuite and i've surfed days @ 3 Ft with barreling perfection.  Unfortunately its not perfect year round, but come late summer early fall it lights up!

A few fond memories of OB:

My First Day Ever... 6-7 Ft. super hollow almond barrels... was riding a FUNBOARD!  Can you believe that!  was with good local friends who timed the paddle out perfect.. not even a duck dive.  Very uncommon for OB... usually its 10-30 minutes of white water paddling to get to the outside.

November 2, 2005... dawn patrol session where my friend got knock off his board during a backside rail turn by a great white... (read story here.. http://www.sharkresearchcommittee.com/pacific_coast_shark_news_2005.htm)

December 05... 15 Ft day I referenced... I surfed all morning and had a blast with some friends... scary-big, but fun!  ate lunch with some other friends and bragged about session.  They went out in the afternoon and one got sucked out to sea... was picked up in the shipping lane of the golden gate 2 hrs later by the coast gaurd and dropped off at a neighboring beach closer the the actual bridge (baker beach for those of you familiar).  He said he stopped trying to fight the currents when he notice two dorsal fins circling him... heavy...

Many other great days there where it was empty and macking... too many to distinguish.  Certainlty recall a few days where it was way too gnarly to paddle out (20 ft faces and a 1/4 mile of pounding white water)

If you can learn to surf here and get a good handle on this wave... you can surf almost anywhere...

Whatchu got fa these?
