Replyi am very proud of you. my little fishy is growing into a shark. next time I will film you …
ReplyWow, I cannot believe how far that water sucked out? Crazy! Did you enjoy your shack time? LOL!

ReplyThe funny part is that although it looks pretty tame, on the way down to the beach, and when I was out in the water I had no idea what was going to happen. Only a 2 to 3 foot increase in ocean height, but expected to come at 600 MPH! I Imagined it possibly washing us in, across the beach, across the parking lot, and up the streets. LOL
@Brittany:
It ended up on the Associated Press system, and showed up on at least 50 that I know of, of news papers and shows across the world.

Reply@Eric Itzkowitz: Going out after the water sucked out, was the part that felt the sketchiest. When the wave came, it was much more normal, and I didn’t expect much. Once the water sucked out though, it reminded me of every video I have ever seen where the tourists walk out to see why the water sucked out, and then they are killed when the water rushes in. Wild to think of the water rocking back and forth in the pacific basin as if it was a bowl full of water you are carrying across the kitchen.
ReplySeems like you had fun. I’m not one to encourage such dangerous behaviour though.
ReplyDamn it ! š i wish I was in your place. Great video, it will pump your adrenaline š
ReplyRadical sports like this really make the heart beat faster and feel the body with adrenaline. Way to go! Keep them coming.
ReplyI laughed my ass off at the “You can feel the danger” caption as an old man ran by. I laughed for a good 10 minutes on that one. I think I ‘m going to rewind it and watch it again. And the shores is where I learned to surf when I first came to visit SD my senior year of high school!@purposeinc: if I saw the water suck out like that I would be running east at full throttle. Too many tourist horror stories about suck outs then the tsunami comes. That’s seriously crazy at the end when its supposed to be high tide but the tide is actually so low.
