No, It's at Ocean Beach in San Francisco, CA. Near Golden Gate Park. Can miss all the Vans. Not sure if it's happening or what day.

The REAL Ocean Beach. 
San Francisco.
Due west of the Richmond District, Golden Gate Park, and the Sunset District.
Where cold Alaskan swell pounds massive sand bars and pumps 20-25ft surf all winter.. Where currents run faster than one can paddle... Where rips can help you out.. only to keep you out. And where surfers wait for it to get small enough to paddle out... not the other way around... 
Hosted the Ripcurl Search this year. We're SOMEBODY! <in my best Steve Martin voice"
The Pros ripped it up... and put on a great show. Who knew one could get barreled for so long in a BEACH BREAK. Freakin' Kelly Slater. Beyond human.
BTW.. Its cold here. Don't forget to bring a warm hoodie.

Yeah, once the sun starts going down you better have a warm jacket. Last year the weather was nice and the bonfires with xmas trees in them got toasty fast.
I will be there hiding from madspaniard like usual. |
