Gulf of the Farallones

That's really cool. Thanks for sharing.

Leatherbacks are pretty much the coolest animals on Earth. Hopefully we don't kill them all.

I love how the visibility in Fall just makes this part of the world even more rad.

18 months out there would be really cool...talk about living in the elements. They must have had some really shitty weather days....but days like this would make it all worth it.

Apparently, there is a decent break out there. But even Location Turtle knows better than to go. Doesn't even bother censoring "Farallones".

This article mentions 4 breaks. http://thayerwalker.com/Site/Stories_2_files/TSJ%2017.4%20Farallon%203.p... .
Apparently they've never been surfed in the last 30-40 years according to marine researchers that live there.
They chose to 'mind surf' it instead.
But they did find the formula to surf safely - good swell + wind + orca's in the vicinity to chase out all the landlords..

Whose the landlord's landlord? Is that like a bank or credit union? What color of pajamas do they wear?

I think the article deetr0n referenced appeared in a back issue of The Surfer's Journal. Susan Casey's The Devil's Teeth also contains interesting information about the Farallones, with mention of some breaks, although I find her writing littered with meaningless superlatives that undermine any credibility she may have. http://www.amazon.com/Devils-Teeth-Obsession-Survival-Americas/dp/080507...

Cool pics, 415noe! Thanks for sharing!

Surfing the Farallones would make Ano Nuevo seem like playing in the kiddie pool. Keep the cameras rolling if you do

Love it.
