Jon Wayne Freeman Takes His Quest for Old Guy Airs to Trestles | Ultra Core Surf Hour Episode 2

"It's kind of a shit show, to be honest with you, but I'm excited."

Last week we left our everyman hero on his quest to complete the rumored-to-be-impossible middle-aged aerial. After last week's disappointing training session ended in a collision with our water photographer, Jon and his high-flying sensei Kevin Schulz head to Lower Trestles, known to some (probably just Jon, actually) as "The Yosemite of Surfing." Between his skyward attempts, Jon gives a tour of the magical cobblestone kingdom, including a breakdown of the popular modes of transit on the trail, how to pick the right porta potty and oh so much more.

"It's Tuesday morning and there's about 500 people here," said Jon before his session. "Nobody has a job, everybody's on electric bikes and rode in on their Sprinter vans. It's kind of a shit show, to be honest with you, but I'm excited! I really think it's gonna happen for me today."

Was Jon right? Will he be the latest invitee to the Red Bull Airborne series? Press play above to find out, and click here to watch part one of Jon's aerial saga. Next week on "The Ultra-Core Surf Hour", Jon will be back and pulling into some Laird-Millennium-Wave-level tubes at Newport's Wedge. See you then.

"That's called the towel change, if you don't know that on then I can't help you." Oh my gosh I was laughing so hard!

[emick]

A 100% goofy footer video I must be dreaming

[billygottron]

Great surfing...by Schulz. Incredible JWF!

Electric bikes, sprinter vans, home school kids.

[kevinbellock]

This just inspired me to ride my flying manta way more

[someoneelse]

I was hopeful

But it doesn't look like we're getting that air any time soon😭

[treefrog-oz]

JWF really nice surfing buddy! You rip!

[kylecarnohanmusic]

I would totally claim those airs. That’s why I never let anyone film me.

[tannergauge]

I surfed trestles years ago with stab, but that was to my tires for taking waves nobody else was on🤷🏼‍♂️

[joemommaz]

Reminds me of the old Corky Carroll vids🤙

[grapsta]

whats the fat board Jon is riding ?...I want one

[ModestReaction]

You need to make this a series and show progression. Also I wish this episode ties in better context wise with last episode

[luxuryhomes]

there is always poop smeared on the walls of those

[AintS]

Been everywhere in the US and Trestles takes the cake for having the highest population of 💩 heads in the lineup!
Especially the old geaser pleaser longboards hogging the lineup. They miss one wave on their own and it'll come to blows if you take the wave that they fell on.. I mean, sure you could follow me out of the water to my Jeep, but I think that base police would call that trespassing.
I liked Newport Beach, that was a whole lot better and the people were crazy... Fun times!

[ryanhoefling]

Here's some food for thought. Instead of calling toilet paper actually "toilet paper" we just accept the term Butt Napkins or possibly shit tickets?

[Lmnop]

Really Surfer Magazine? You fire Nathan Cool (surf forecaster) and hire this guy?? Good going

[sunsensational]

My best airs are when nobody’s watching!
