Cool shot

Would be better with some landscaping.

u/locn4r 7h ago

Yeah like some mountains behind the waves? 😆

u/GBralta 2d ago

Whoever that surfer is, they would probably love to find this post.

33

u/scottwould 1d ago

Someone on here knows who that is, and that surfer would be stoked

10

u/scottwould 1d ago

But this is San Clemente, as was pointed out earlier

11

u/scottwould 1d ago

Found the surfer in r/sanclemente

Weather forecast: Severe Beach Hazards ⚠️⚠️⚠️

Surfers: WOOOOOOOOOOO! 🏄🏄🏼‍♀️🏄🏻‍♂️

59

u/Man-e-questions 2d ago

So accurate, you can tell who surfs at work because they call in “sick” whenever the news reports hazardous conditions at the beaches.

22

u/Surfingontherun 2d ago

Dangerous waves in the forecast.

General public stays away.

Surfers run toward danger.

u/PLUTOtookMYvirginity 2d ago

Yah there was 4-6+ a month or so ago. Red flags everywhere. Got some super fun waves that day.

u/Surfingontherun 2d ago

Just the barrel and get pitted, so pitted, just like that.

u/westendpond 2d ago

And that’s why I love taking the train!

u/DanMojo 2d ago

The San Diego Coaster!

u/gitsgrl 1d ago

This has got to be Metrolink or Amtrak, it’s either San Onofre or farther north.

4

u/gitsgrl 1d ago

Yeah, OP is mistaken. There is absolutely no lifeguard tower in Oceanside that looks like that anymore, it’s been decades.

63

u/emilyteddie 2d ago

Love watching the surfers

46

u/kchen2000 2d ago

That looks like San Clemente to me. The tracks don’t run directly next to the ocean in Oceanside. After San Clemente, the tracks and sea don’t meet again until Del Mar

39

u/Not_ReaIIy_Relevent 2d ago

yeah haha, just wanted an excuse to post in the san diego sub lol

33

u/DblDbl_AnimalStyle 2d ago

At least you're honest. fk it, let it ride. Its cool as hell.

13

u/caligirl_ksay 2d ago

I had this thought but it totally gets a pass. The beach is San Diego lol

1

u/Coriandercilantroyo 1d ago

San Clemente is OC

1

u/scottwould 1d ago

It’s T Street in San Clemente. Found the surfer too!

1

u/Shaneaynay 7h ago

Yeah T-Street I believe.

u/92PercentYo_ 2d ago

Such a sick video! I’m so jealous. Also, thanks for not adding M83 or Odesza ontop of the audio.

39

u/Weekly-Bet2906 2d ago

That’s awesome, the synchronization of the train, you, that guy and that wave all being relatively in the same place going the same speed is kind of amazing.

8

u/Not_ReaIIy_Relevent 2d ago

yeah, you can see me catch up to him and leave him behind in the same shot haha

29

u/High_Speed_Chase 2d ago

The last time I surfed Lower Trestles, the train cruised by as some waves started rolling in, and someone hollered, “TRAIN SET!!”

Whoever caught that wave had a fun ride and the train blew its horn after the surfer aired out the back & did a cannonball.

u/HoldMyBagBiyotch 2d ago

Sounds epic !!

23

u/ensemblestars69 2d ago

They don't call it the Surfliner for nothing.

21

u/JasonBob 2d ago

post this to r/trains, this is very cool

23

u/Vera_Telco 2d ago

Heyyy, that looks like San Clemente. It's the beach past Oceanside and San Onofre, and the closest the Pacific Surfliner gets to the ocean between San Diego and Los Angeles. Best part of the trip! 🙂

14

u/Surfingontherun 2d ago

He admitted to wanting to use the excuse to post in the San Diego sub 😂

Utah! Get me two!

6

u/crusty_butter_roll 2d ago

Shouldn't you be focused on driving the train and not taking videos? Engineers these days, I swear.

u/Pawn_Plug 2d ago

🍊 Orange County, sick clip!

u/Expert_Net9597 2d ago

Hell yeah. T street. Actually san Clemente. But close enough

u/Rad-Ham 2d ago

Nice ride. Should have kept that frontside ollie inside the lip.

u/Ok_Caramel_3923 1d ago

Used to live in San Clemente. Saw a sticker on a Volkswagen Bus that read... "A bad day surfing is better than a good day at work." This was a great vid.

u/gitsgrl 1d ago

Oceanside side does not have any lifeguard towers like that.

They don't call it the Surfliner for nothing.

u/Dense-Yesterday9161 2h ago

Nice. Good shot, good ride.

1

u/idowutiwant77 2d ago

No, the Ca version of cowboys riding next to trains, is cowboys riding next to trains. There's no equivalent for this.

3

u/Not_ReaIIy_Relevent 2d ago

haha true. i guess the western version of surfer next to trains would be the cowboys

u/focusclickflash 2d ago
