One California Day - Joe & Tom Curren, Sandspit - Full Part - Jason Baffa [HD]

I and about 200 other people surged there with Tom one day in the 1982 El Niño super Swell. The faces were about 10-12 ‘ and the wave didn’t break like it does in this video. Back then it was a giant challenging wall out in front of the rocks and to make the wave you had to withstand a 6 foot backwash coming straight at you.

I specifically remember watching 2 out of the 201 people taking their picks of set waves and getting insanely barreled over the next 2-3 days. Then I would see Tommy at school the next day as if it never happened ! We used to call it the “SandBar”.

Joe you are rad
