Great job on your description of pavones. Swell direction really is key. When you get the right one, it is insane.

[juli_toledo]

Loving your work, Dan. Congrats for the sponsor. Keep it up!

[Bigdgg]

Awesome rundown Dan, enjoyed your armchair surf adventure!

[davidmorefield]

Love the time and effort you put into these. Would be stoked to have even some of these places checked off the list. I hit pavones in April and your video really helped! Had the longest wave of my life!!

I love the honesty I'm subbing in Mr Harmon see you down the line

J Bay is frigging awesome and Shaun Thompson ruled that place in the 70’s and 80’s . The only problem is it’s very sharky 🦈 😅

[liammonninger]

I feel like a bunch of California breaks--Lowers, Steamer Lane, Malibu, and Huntington--ought to be in Episode 2 for surf history. Probably the various breaks around Waikiki for the same reason.

[gilles]

so interesting your video's. thanks allot.

Hi there, Dan! On the Jeffrey’s comments, it is you surfing? It seems to me YES…good surf, man!
By the way, I’m almost 70 years old, from Florianópolis, just came back from Lobitos, and I had a great time at Piscinas and 3 Cruzes…cheers

HB local here. Like all other breaks, they have their days that they go off, but HB is few and far between. What makes HB is it's consistently. At least you get out in the water. Now Rincon, Malibu and Lowers are great waves with insane crowds. So glad I surfed these spots through the 70s-90s when getting waves was a lot easier. Now, there's no way. The animals can have it.

[HughMalone-wm]

Pipe was the most insane shit I’ve ever been a part of. I just like head high a frame beach breaks. Idc if it’s head high mushy or head high pumping. But that’s about all I want to deal with

[BiggyF]

Dan like you said how heavy Pipeline and Cloudbreak is it truly is insane how easy the pros make these waves look so much so that you mind surf it with them😂

[BiggyF]

The secret of surfing J Bay is that the power source of the wave is not in the trough but 3 quarters of the way up. You have to stay high and know where the wave slows down to do critical manoeuvres or ride the tube. You get to know it after some time spent. Favourite surfers that drives the point home would be Joel Parkinson, Jordy.

i am a 65 surfer i am a low intermediate. why don't you make a video where you suggest places that fits surfer of my age. but remember the over 60 likes to surf not only long board and adds in which season fits a 60 yo surfer.

[UziMusic]

Snappers accurate, best and worst surfs, it's mostly too crowded and if even half pumping and you cant hang with the pros in terms of take off position etc. you're not getting waves, that said there's heaps of uncrowded pockets along that stretch where you can have great surfs. 6-8ft Cloudbreak isn't tiny.. that's massive (in aus ratings) especially on shallow reef.. you're a sick surfer screw sending it on stuff like that, live to surf another day!

[bicyclingbum]

Being a core lord who's scared of flying they all suck and nothing compares to your local beachie on its day 🤙

[Ozone]

You should add Teahupoo and Supertubos to the list
