San Clemente | (DE)TOUR: SURF TOWNS Presented by Hydro Flask

The classic California surf trip starts right now. In the premiere episode, Hunter Jones and Lex Weinstein begin their journey through the state’s surf towns in San Clemente. They meet up with Big Wave Champ and local Greg Long before paddling out at the famed break Lower Trestles, where the pros in the lineup are only outnumbered by the cobblestones and e-bikes on the shore. After Trestles, Hunter and Lex bestow the Saltiest Local Award on a longtime surfboard glasser, find out where a local shop rates on the Burrito-meter, and log some time at San Onofre’s iconic longboard wave with the Native Like Water organization. San Clemente / Trestles is the modern name of the ancient Acjachemen village site known as Panhe. The Acjachemen people have lived in the place we call Orange County for over 10,000 years and are still here stewarding the land alongside surfers, environmentalists, and others who care about our shared coastline.

T street is a good wave. Great to here the history, some of the history of San Clemente. I grew up surfing t street the peir and treastles. This town is a breading ground of shredders starting from the late 70's. Andy fomenko, dino andino archy, clay, tod griswana, Georgia and Jolene Smith and tones more. Those were the old school I looked up to. Sean and Kelly O'Connell, Shane Jenkins. There's so many rippers

“Act”ivist riding around in a Jeep? 😂😂

[headmondronary]

San O's has the best vibes when I'm pushing environmentalism in my petrol thirsty jeep. But looking cool is most important.
Typical Seppos.

[mykehines]

San O's is in San Diego county, not Orange or LA County.

[stephenwolfram]

Ahh yes the WSL corporate greenwashed and sanitized version of surfing.

[oliverkimpton]

I loved living there but I hope it doesn't get infected with more of this woke surf league indoctrination.
