Craig. Hi to you and your family.
I was on the Santa Cruz pier in 2019. My then wife and my son and I agreed it was dodgy back then, had the part wobbles and did not seem right.
It’s very old, steeped in history. Had a good crab chowder there but.
Not surprised to see it drifting into Steamer Lane.
All those businesses on it wouldn’t be happy. Merry Xmas . AW
Cheers AW, you too!
How are the guys floating on the pier.
WHARF RESCUE | Three people were on the end of the Santa Cruz Wharf when it collapsed into the ocean. Two of them were rescued and one was able to get out on their own. No injuries were reported.

Crazy, the guys on the pier, there’s also a swell running right through the debris. And there’s a skid steer Bobcat hanging in there also, only in America, classic.
We were there in April, early Spring, cool but pleasant, water temperature, freezing as it is there much of the year.
It’s part of that cold current that pushes into San Francisco. Heaps of seals/sea lions basking on bearers under the entire length of the pier. Sharky as apparently. Known fatalities.
Watched heaps of surfers at heaps of spots, all round the headland and point, reminded me of Torquay, a wave around every cove and corner. All the best. AW
Annnnnd it’s goodnight from Pete

Cheers AW , look forward to catching up next year , stay safe and healthy ….. ps … some of us dig looking and learning from your building skills , that is a good thread as is the botany nerds . Interesting today how the I love bali thread kicked off in a good discussion .
Far out that is a sick angle of that drop. Amazing his whole body was extended, arms above his head, on his tippytoes and still stuck it.
This guy faded just a bit too far and got well & truly lit up . Incredible spit on the first wave .
Supa that is incredible!
Really looking forward to TBs footage from yesterday, never seen anything like this before .
Getting spat out never looked so good.

Supafreak Oh you are way too kind with your words. Much appreciated. I’m a bit of an overzealous poster, commenting on any topic, I enjoy it, but more so, it gets the ball rolling and before you know it, heaps of us are involved and that can only be a good thing, using ya scone, thinking and writing, it’s the best. Hours pass and we’ve all learnt something new.
‘From Little Things Big Things Grow’- Vincent Lingiari and Paul Kelly.
Down at 13th beach at present listening to ‘How To Make Gravy’, the best Xmas song going.
Well, we all enjoy the I Love Bali thread, how could you not.
Of late , you’ve been the man on the gearstick as well as the wheel. I love how we have regional Swellnetters reporting in from all parts of the globe, builds a great perspective of life.
Keep those sets coming. Terima kasih. AW

5'11 Dylan Tow Board
The most amazing thing about this, is that Albee managed to paddle into this giant, he was very close to getting under the lip . I can picture him popping up and in a maxwell smart voice saying “ missed it by that much “ @ udo any idea what length he’s riding ?
Some highlights of the tow session . A close up of the guy that faded too much on a giant , puts into perspective how big it was .
