The extreme tides and recent run of high surf in Southern California brought some very interesting conditions to the region this past week. And while surfers everywhere enjoyed the fruits of El Niño, David Pu’u and I shot some mountainous waves exploding on Highway 1 at 960 frames per second in Ventura. Ever since Jack McCoy’s films, I’ve had a fascination with waves in ultra slow motion,. The Ventura Pier also took a beating during this swell.
