The Oregon coast is home to some of the finest seafood on the planet. But getting to it is another story. Today, we're joining one of the most unique fisheries in America, where the only way to reach the fishing grounds is by launching our boat directly off the beach and through the surf. If we can make it out and fill the boat, we'll be having one of the best feasts of our lives. If not, then we're cooked. Let's get out there. What is up, guys? And

welcome back to another video. We are on the beloved Oregon coast, and I couldn't be more stoked. I'm here the night before because we're getting some real goodness tomorrow morning. I've been trying to do this trip that we're doing

Speaker A

tomorrow for a very long time. It's one of the most niche, I would say, fishing experiences you could have, and it's right here under Oregon coast. I don't know why it's taken me this long to do it. We're starting at like 5:00 a.m., so

Speaker A

didn't want to do the 2-hour drive at 3:00 a.m. A lot of you guys don't know, but I don't live on the Oregon coast.

Yes, sir. You're up front, my boy. This thing grips. We need one of these for back home. So, we got Levi. He's going to be our captain today. We got Ian. We got Derek.

Speaker A

I'm actually like 2 hours inland, so anytime I'm out here, I had to drive 2 hours to get here. But she is a beauty.

Oregon coast in the summertime is honestly unmatched. [music] [music] [music] [music] Good morning, guys.

I'm pumped. A parrot. What is Marty? Waves are looking nice and small. What's the biggest waves you've ever launched? Oo, we've hit 20 footers.

Speaker A

Today I'm finally going out and doing one of the most unique fisheries Oregon has to offer and one of the only places in America that even does this, which is the Dory Fishery. It's this boat. We're going to go to our favorite beach in

Speaker A

Came straight up real hard. It's like a suburban gang only. Are you not allowed to be a Dory launcher if you don't have a Suburban?

Speaker A

Oregon, which is Pacific City and launch, go fishing, go trolling, go crabbing, and go diving as well.

Speaker A

This is Chase. 10 years ago when I was like very into extreme sports, Chase had a uh YouTube channel called Adrenaline Addiction. It's like one of my favorite YouTube channels of all time. 10 years later, he's still alive, still doing his

Speaker A

Yes, sir. You're up front, my boy. This thing grips. We need one of these for back home. So, we got Levi. He's going to be our captain today. We got Ian. We got Derek.

Speaker A

Now, he was efficient. Heck yeah. Let's run it. This is sick. I'm I'm pumped on this. Kyle, you ready to troll?

Speaker A

And then we got one of my homies, Chase. Almost forgot my name. [laughter] I know he has adrenaline addiction. Can you tell us a little bit about what we're doing today?

Speaker A

You guys know it's going to be a heater of a day when Ian is around. Heater.

Speaker A

Uh, we're going to go take this Dory off of the beach here in Pacific City.

Speaker A

Go ahead. That was smooth work, boys. Yeah, thank you. We've done it twice now together, I think. Twice.

Speaker A

We're going to go where they're fish. What are we going after today? Some rockfish, ling cod. Probably going to troll for some salmon. End with some crab.

Speaker A

We got two options we could catch. Coo and king salmon, both of which we're able to keep. What are we running? Just flashers.

Speaker A

I'm pumped. A parrot. What is Marty? Waves are looking nice and small. What's the biggest waves you've ever launched? Oo, we've hit 20 footers.

Speaker A

Yeah. Today we don't have any. Fish on. Smoke that thing in. Keep that tip out there like that.

Speaker A

What? Yeah, we split seams in boats. You launched from those 20 foot walls. It wasn't supposed to be. It was showing like fours and fives and they just came up out of nowhere.

Speaker A

Oh, no. Too far out. Back here. There we go. Yes, sir. Oh, nice. That's a keeper.

Speaker A

Came straight up real hard. It's like a suburban gang only. Are you not allowed to be a Dory launcher if you don't have a Suburban?

Speaker A

We had one yesterday. Good morning. That thing chomped that. Ian getting it done. Getting it done, baby. [laughter] Way to get her. It's going to taste real good.

Speaker A

No, there's actually a F-150 right there which slashes. Okay, sick. You ready? Yeah, I'm ready.

Speaker A

You're the fatty. Study the technique. Study the technique. I got no t I got no technique.

Speaker A

This is Chase. 10 years ago when I was like very into extreme sports, Chase had a, uh, YouTube channel called Adrenaline Addiction. It's like one of my favorite YouTube channels of all time. 10 years later, he's still alive, still doing his

Speaker A

Yeah. Straight up. Straight up. Yes, sir. [laughter] Okay. Let some line out here. Good stuff, bro.

Speaker A

thing, and we crossed paths. He's from Montana, but he was here for the weekend paragliding up here, so it turned out sick.

Speaker A

So, you fly and fish. I haven't fished in a long time. [laughter] Yeah, this boat's pretty like rocky.

Speaker A

Now, he was efficient. Heck yeah. Let's run it. This is sick. I'm, I'm pumped on this. Kyle, you ready to troll?

Speaker A

Yeah. That's why they call it Nas Carlos. That's actually how we got the name.

Speaker A

Yeah. Let's do this. Tell me we got some good plans for, for later. We got some good plans. Yeah, we are going to rip. That's for sure.

Speaker A

Where's the dorsal fin? This guy there's a little fin back here and if it has it that means it's a wild and we can't keep it when they leave the hatchery. The hatchery like lasers it off.

Speaker A

You guys know it's going to be a heater of a day when Ian is around. Heater.

Speaker A

He said this is his first salmon ever indeed. Monumental day. So we got our two salmon. It's already 8:30. So, we're probably going to call it quits. Get into some other type of fishing.

Speaker A

That was quick work and the swimming shorts. Yeah, I feel like the odds of something bad happening are not far off. Having a boat full of clients and just having a wave just hit the side of this thing.

Speaker A

First salmon. [music] That was very lucky. Nice catches. Thank you. Pull up with the magic rock. Whoever wants to dive can start diving. Just got some fishing rods from that guy. Going to start digging the bottom for rockfish

Speaker A

Go ahead. That was smooth work, boys. Yeah, thank you. We've done it twice now together, I think. Twice.

Speaker A

I'm going to catch a big boy with this Walmart rod. All right. This [laughter] rod is crazy.

Speaker A

[music] [music] So, first thing we're going to start doing is start trolling for some salmon.

Speaker A

All right, let it fly. He said let it sink for like 10 seconds. Sometimes it won't even feel like a bite. It'll feel like it's just getting heavy. It'll feel like the bottom and it's not the bottom. It'll be a big old

Speaker A

We got two options we could catch. Coho and king salmon, both of which we're able to keep. What are we running? Just flashers.

Speaker A

Do some first cast magic. Are you having fun, pal? No, I'm not. It's [laughter] been fun, pal. Really cold.

Speaker A

Flashers with the spinner on it as well as these little spin fish is what we call them. Is there bait inside sometimes?

Speaker A

[laughter] Oh gosh. Okay, lots on. We got fish on, boys. Better be Frank the tank on.

Speaker A

Yeah. Today we don't have any. Fish on. Smoke that thing in. Keep that tip out there like that.

Speaker A

Bob the slot, boys. We got one on. [laughter] That was fun. That was a fun fight on the light tackle.

Speaker A

Keep, keep reeling. Keep reeling. I'm bringing the rod tip up. Yes, sir. Yes, sir.

Speaker A

Bluegill goes away pretty quick though. Let's get it on. Is bobbing and weaving. Guys, I quickly want to interrupt this video and bring you the sponsor of today's video, which is bigwatergu.com.

Speaker A

Oh, no. Too far out. Back here. There we go. Yes, sir. Oh, nice. That's a keeper.

Speaker A

who have already purchased something and can vouch for me that what I make is very high quality and I try to price it as best as possible for the premium quality that I sell. I just dropped some new hoodies, we got some hats, we got

Speaker A

That's a keeper. Ian smoking. No chance. Good job, man. Nice. That's a, that's a chromy.

Speaker A

bigwaterguy.com. And for everyone who has bought something, I really want to say thank you from the bottom of my heart. It helps these videos keep happening and it helps me pump them out as often as possible. So if you want to

Speaker A

We had one yesterday. Good morning. That thing chomped that. Ian getting it done. Getting it done, baby. [laughter] Way to get her. It's going to taste real good.

Speaker A

Yeah, buddy. Bob's neighbor Frank. Yeah, Frank. Guys, kill like maybe Bob the Slob's younger cousin or something.

Speaker A

Oh yeah. Well, at least we're not going hungry today. That's already good. [music] [music] Oh, baby. Fish on.

Speaker A

Is that valid? That's pretty good. That's valid. Now it's my turn, baby. Dude, I love this condition.

Speaker A

You're the fatty. Study the technique. Study the technique. I got no t I got no technique.

Speaker A

We got Debo going in. There it is. Motor's off. So, we're Yeah. Oh, yeah, boys. We're so on.

Speaker A

10ear wing suiting in China. I got to get stable. China. The police are chasing me. [laughter] towards me. Pull up this way.

Speaker A

Oh that's him baby. Oh my god. Yeah. Look at this guy. That's the boys.

Speaker A

Yeah. Straight up. Straight up. Yes, sir. [laughter] Okay. Let some line out here. Good stuff, bro.

Speaker A

All right. All right. Let's get one more. It's a lot of fun fighting these things on the small tackle on another dude. [laughter] I got you.

Speaker A

Forgot we were fisher. [laughter] That's what happens. Keeper. Okay, baby. Another keeper. It's been like 45 minutes since our last fish.

Speaker A

The four per person. Four. Yeah. You're out. I'm in. [laughter] You're out. I'm in. He said you're out.

Speaker A

So, you fly and fish. I haven't fished in a long time. [laughter] Yeah, this boat's pretty like rocky.

Speaker A

All right, I limited out. I got my four. Now it's time for the boys to lock in.

Speaker A

If everyone goes to one end, like we're, we're rolling. Probably not. Close. They said that this dory that we're on is more meant for speed. It's like one of the fastest dory boats in the fleet.

Speaker A

But you're getting really good at getting out of it. Yes, sir. Yes, sir. [laughter] Oh, dude. Don't say that.

Speaker A

Yeah. That's why they call it Nas Carlos. That's actually how we got the name.

Speaker A

Nice. Another tank. There's a tank. How do you feel about that? I feel real good about that. [laughter] Bro, it's about to be a celebration when Chase brings one into the boat. So, we brought all our dive gear and the only

Speaker A

So that's two. That's another keeper chrome. So we have wild and hatcheries. Wild you're not allowed to keep and wild have the little dorsal fin in the back. This one does not have a dorsal fin which means it's a keeper.

Speaker A

terrible viz. So really even debating about going in. Most likely at this point we'll not because we already got salmon, some rockfish. We got enough meat. Plus they got crab pots soaking from yesterday that we're going to go

Speaker A

Where's the dorsal fin? This guy there's a little fin back here and if it has it that means it's a wild and we can't keep it when they leave the hatchery. The hatchery like lasers it off.

Speaker A

and suit up in extra time. Where's Derek? We haven't seen Derek in about 30 minutes.

Speaker A

They cut it off so they know the way to track them. That makes sense.

Speaker A

Curse. Oh my gosh. Chase, you got to give it one more time. All right. All right. It's almost like you got to forget it's there. I want the orange one now. [laughter] Come on, Chase. Once you catch one, we

Speaker A

He said this is his first salmon ever indeed. Monumental day. So we got our two salmon. It's already 8:30. So, we're probably going to call it quits. Get into some other type of fishing.

Speaker A

He had good luck with the salmon. Get her done. Chase, I don't even want to look back there anymore.

Speaker A

Honestly, two salmon is better than none. It's one of those things where you just don't know. You either get into them or you don't. So, at least we got some food. And Chase caught his first salmon.

Speaker A

That's a China. [laughter] They got wicked colors though. They're endangered cuz they come from so far.

Speaker A

First salmon. [music] That was very lucky. Nice catches. Thank you. Pull up with the magic rock. Whoever wants to dive can start diving. Just got some fishing rods from that guy. Going to start digging the bottom for rockfish

Speaker A

What was it? Like 5 ft. Sery too. Hard to dive. Yeah, it's pretty aggressive out here today. Pretty rough seas. Bad viz and fish on.

Speaker A

ling cod. You guys use these soft baits? Yeah. Ready? Beat the brakes off some sea bass.

Speaker A

He might have just got your link for you. It's cold, too. Really? What's the temp?

Speaker A

I'm going to catch a big boy with this Walmart rod. All right. This [laughter] rod is crazy.

Speaker A

Nice. We'll take that, boys. Buzzer beater. There we go. Hey, no swimming in the boat. [laughter] No swimming in the boat.

Speaker A

Are we dropping to the bottom and jigging? Yeah, that or you can cast towards the rock and just slowly reel in. Let it sink 10 seconds maybe.

Speaker A

All right, boys. The little Barbie rod did what Derek couldn't. Wow. Yeah, I know.

Speaker A

All right, let it fly. He said let it sink for like 10 seconds. Sometimes it won't even feel like a bite. It'll feel like it's just getting heavy. It'll feel like the bottom and it's not the bottom. It'll be a big old

Speaker A

No. It's a nice bluish one, which these are harder to come by. We're going to fillet this guy up. His meat will literally be completely blue. Pretty sick. He's fresh. As fresh as he gets. We got a serious haul. Salmon, linkod, rockfish.

Speaker A

How fast do you want to reel? Nice and slow. Just like that. Come on, Chase. First cast.

Speaker A

Yeah. Fresh kelp. It's tradition. And you got to you got to rip that thing.

Speaker A

Do some first cast magic. Are you having fun, pal? No, I'm not. It's [laughter] been fun, pal. Really cold.

Speaker A

It's like celery. Yeah. It's like salty celery. Salty. That's good. [laughter] Why do you go in like that?

Speaker A

Really miserable. You even put water in there? Yeah, I put ocean water in there.

Speaker A

First thing we've eaten today. Yeah. Probably good with all that. You need more than this or is this good?

Speaker A

[laughter] Oh gosh. Okay, lots on. We got fish on, boys. Better be Frank the tank on.

Speaker A

the rock scallops. They're just like if you don't know what you're looking for. Fly up on the rock. Yeah. The way you see them is when they're underwater, they open. They're filter feeding and you can see like a line of orange.

Speaker A

Frank the tank coming up. Oh T

Speaker A

Yeah. Slice it. They release. Oh yeah. Pops right off. Now we're talking right here. This is that premium. I'm going to get you a little slice right now. Your first uh raw scallop.

Speaker A

Oh wow. That's delicious. That's good. [laughter] That's real good. You like that? Delicious. I want to start diving down.

Speaker A

That is amazing. M. Oh my god, that's good. Have you guys ever had it raw?

No. No. We usually don't have a functioning sink and grill and fireplace and TV. Got a serious operation going.

Speaker A

Ian brought some appetizer. Potato salad with dungeonous crab in there. Oh yeah, the whole kitchen. Crabs are about to start boiling. The boat made it back too.

Speaker A

She has some eggs. Is there no eggs? No egg plumber. Got a couple nice healthy scallop today.

Speaker A

You want to find some sort of slit opening. Get your knife. Run along the top edge. It releases.

Speaker A

You pop that. Rip all that off. Oh, look at this parasite that just crawled out of there.

Speaker A

It's a worm. Whoa. Stop. Giant worm. See that chunker? Look at that little fella. The whole operation happened on this side.

Speaker A

eggs. The tiniest salmon eggs I've ever seen actually. Where should I put them? Gut basket right there.

Speaker A

Wait, you want to throw them out? There. No, there's not much to eat there. I'm all about eating eggs, but those are just uneatable.

Speaker A

You can raw dog them. Nope. [laughter] I'm not doing any more of that. Scallops are done. There's a serious fish processing operation going on here, too.

Speaker A

Going into the drink. You put salt, water, salt in there. You did full of bugs going in.

Speaker A

I'm going to set a 10-minute timer on those. Can't wait for crab crab in a long time.

Speaker A

It's going to hit, bro. Dungeie's uh Chase has also never had a dungeonous crab, which a lot of people say they're like some of the best tasting crab, and I think Alaskan king crab and all those are a lot better, but dungeonous is

Speaker A

fire. I personally think that the meat on a dungeonous like [clears throat] if there was the quantity of meat that a king crab had a dun that would be the best crab. But I think that the sweetness the sweetness of the

Speaker A

dungeonous crab is like unmatched. Yeah. Yeah. So we're going to boil half the crabs and the other half Ian got a special recipe prepared. So we're going to chuck these guys.

Speaker A

We're going to Ian requested that we save the head butter. So, we're going to keep the sauce in here. Guts, gills, everything comes off. That's a very clean half right there.

Speaker A

That's a secret sauce right there. All right. Most likely That's all we need right there. Chase is not buying them, but this is like the liquid gold.

Speaker A

Nasty. We just slurp that. [laughter] Is it good? When it's cooked, it is. Okay, we'll wait for that to get cooked.

Speaker A

Right now, I'm chopping up some ginger. Getting some aromatics going. Ginger, lemongrass, shallot, garlic, and I'm going to use those actually in both recipes that I'm using today. Those will kind of be like a base of the flavors.

Speaker A

The crab one is going to get more of like a mince. And then the one that I'm going to do for the salmon is going to get put in this mortar and pestle here and kind of just made into like a

Speaker A

paste down like compound butter on it. So the crabs, we want to save the head butter. So, we're going to crack it the same way we did when it was raw.

Speaker A

It's ready to rip. See this head butter right there? Take your crab. Dip into there.

Speaker A

Gas. And then we got Ian seaweed compow. [laughter] Seaweed compow. The seaweed kow. Is it really good? Holy smokes.

Speaker A

That tastes like Alfredo. So good. It does taste good. You can kind of taste it like like that, you know, like umami like uh seaweed flavor from it, you know, like Yeah.

Speaker A

So good. Delicious. For the first meal of the day, this dunge like a million bucks.

Speaker A

Yeah. Right. What's your first dungeon experience like? It's incredible. [laughter] Like so good. I don't even want to talk.

Speaker A

Just eat. It's amazing. Yeah. They're hitting right now. This This butter sauce. Yeah. This is some Oregon seaweed that he harvested here and blended up into some compound butter.

Speaker A

Mhm. Yeah. But I harvested the seaweed then dried it, made it into a powder and then I mixed it up with the butter and a couple of other ingredients like garlic, salt, some lemon zest I think is also in

Speaker A

there. It tastes fire. Truly. What do you got going on here? Um, in there is going to be what's going to be going on the salmon and it's just like a mixture of aromatics and some peppers.

Speaker A

So, it's lemongrass, ginger, garlic, peppers of varying spice levels, local reineer cherries, and then I'm going to put some fish sauce in there, a little bit of sugar, pound it all down into a paste. And then we'll put that in with

Speaker A

the salmon. I'm going to cover the salmon leaves. And then we'll put that in when we're baking it to kind of flavor it all throughout.

Speaker A

Oh, there it is. Better watch out, bro. You're in the splash. Straight [laughter] up.

Speaker A

True. Little ASMR. This is sugar. Just a little bit. What are we doing here? Going to make a a garlic lemongrass like spicy chili oil kind of thing for the crab. We're going to cook a crab like right in there.

Speaker A

It'll release all of its crabby goodness and it'll make it even more of a well-rounded dish. This is uh shrimp paste in soybean oil. And this is minced crab in spices. impressive how you even find these things.

Speaker A

You got to know where to look. They add like a really nice uh flavor to things.

Speaker A

Your first time. I add some chili oil in here. Homemade of course. And then, yeah, going to toss the crabs in.

Speaker A

I really like what you got going on there Ian. So, this is the the crab butter, but raw. Animal has it in. So, it just kind of steeps in there.

Speaker A

In my truck right there. Wish I didn't see what's going in this. This is what's going on behind the scenes at uh at your local restaurant, Thai Vietnamese restaurant.

Speaker A

I don't know if they're eating that good. Like, he's still twishing. That's how you know it's fresh when it's still hitting the stinky leg. Let's slice these doing an excellent job. By the way, do my best.

Speaker A

I wanted to let you know that. Doing the very best. I was busy snoozing.

Speaker A

So, yeah, this is the salmon that we caught wrapped in a taro leaf. And then I'm going to wrap it in this tin foil as well. But before that, I'm going to put some of this right on there.

Speaker A

That's so cool. Yeah, taro is a root, but this is just a leaf. Like when you wrap something in a leaf and then cook it like that, it adds like a really nice flavor to things. And they just go straight in the grill for

Speaker A

about 20 minutes. This is what a couple crabs people I think are now moving finding homes in this little I am just like making it like a crude dough but in the shell and then I'm going to top it with some some

Speaker A

seasonings. The viz wasn't great. Sesame oil. The light doesn't do anything to help. I didn't see I I almost didn't really get a good look at it. Just like same thing. It like just took off.

Speaker A

[laughter] All right. Scallop crudeau. That is all we're going to do to it. All right. Try that.

Speaker A

Just try a piece. Yeah. Get a cucumber and a cucumber and an edge. So good. That is so good.

Speaker A

Should I go drop one in Chase's mouth? Oh my gosh. The spicy kicks in. And I don't [laughter] way to open up.

Speaker A

He didn't even stutter. He just opened me up. What is it? Trust. Scallop. Scalliner. Thumbs up.

Speaker A

[laughter] All right. Back to sleep. Dreaming of scout. Back to sleep. Wow. Holy smokes.

Speaker A

That's what we like to see right now. Got to recharge. Wow. Can you feed it to me? [laughter] What a tremendous way to wake up that was.

Speaker A

I'm almost jealous of what you just experienced. We can do it to you. That's amazing. It's that crunch or something.

Speaker A

Some sort of like Vietnamese salt. What was that? It's a Vietnamese chili and lime salt.

Speaker A

It was made by some local person and they gave it to me and I was really pumped about it in Vietnam.

Speaker A

In Vietnam. Regular. Delicious. Yeah. Let me get a quick photo of that. Uh there's rice right here, too. Go really well with rice.

Speaker A

And the oven will also go really well with the crab with the uh rice.

Speaker A

Worth it. Worth the hassle. All right. 20 minutes has elapsed. It's looking like Oh, yeah. This leaf. Actually, you can eat this leaf, too.

Speaker A

Yeah, that's looking rightous. Put a little bit of fish sauce on a little chili oil.

Speaker A

It's always a good time when Ian's around. We're eating good. It's ready, boys. Ready.

Speaker A

Go level that thing, Chase. Holy smokes. YouTube video. Whatever's going on here. I presentation on point here. Nice.

Speaker A

Take a big pick. Wow. We got an absolute banger of a meal. Crab legs. We have the salmon we caught today and some crazy sauce.

Speaker A

So much insane flavor on that salmon, rice, and that crab sauce. Oh my gosh. Whatever the sauce you cook these crabs in is actually insane.

Speaker A

Oh my god, this is absurdly good. never disappoints. What's that saying right now? It's saying a whole lot. [laughter] It's speaking to me. Yeah, it's definitely speaking to me. There's something in Vietnamese I don't understand, but [laughter] I do very much appreciate it. Yeah.

Speaker A

Chase, talk to me. Incredible. So many different flavors. I'm glad Ian went to say Thailand. I dialed this in.

Speaker A

Yeah, for real. Ian spending two months in Southeast Asia this winter was great for everyone.

Speaker A

It was a good move. Everyone's eating portion number one. Dererick's already on seconds. I'm getting more of this sauce before it's gone. Sorry guys.

Speaker A

I cleared some of the crabs out so you can see the sauce. And this is that crab sauce on some rice.

Speaker A

This in itself without any meat is just insane. Hey, throw some salmon in there.

Speaker A

Well, thanks for making it happen today. Absolutely. It was a good time. Good to meet you.

Speaker A

Thanks for making it happen, Captain. Yeah, everything got whacked. Everyone ate, everyone here had a lot of food.

Speaker A

I'm absolutely stuffed, guys. It does not get better than what just happened. We do a lot of spear fishing content here and we're not allowed to spearfish salmon in Oregon and it's pretty seasonal with the crabs. So, the fact

Speaker A

that we got salmon in there today, we got some crabs. I love it because we don't get to do it often. What a day.

Speaker A

What a beautiful day. Big shout out to Doug and his family and uh Levi for taking us out. That was just like a homie trip. They're not charters, so like I can't plug their business. They don't really have one, but there's

Speaker A

plenty of companies here in Pacific City that do these dory fisheries. If you guys ever want to come out and do the same thing we just did, um there's multiple companies in the area that do it. I've never been on any of them

Speaker A

obviously, but I know they're out here. Some of the guys been on them. So, we're going to finish up, hang out with them a little bit, clean up, and then I'm spending the night tonight and tomorrow.

Speaker A

We got something different, but really fun playing something I love doing. I'm not going to spoil it yet. We're going to surprise you guys. So, we'll see you guys then. We're so back, guys. I'm actually very excited for what's about

Speaker A

to happen in the next couple minutes because you only know me as a free diver and a spear fisherman and a guy that eats questionable things. But before I started doing that, I had a lot of hobbies in my life. All sorts of things.

Speaker A

I always knew I wanted to do social media, but I always thought it would be in the extreme sports world. You know, snowboarding skateboarding cliff jumping, kite boarding, kite surfing.

Speaker A

All those sports consumed my life for a very long time. And I was what you would call an adrenaline junkie for a long time. But I do this now and I'm very happy. A lot better on the body. I get

Speaker A

to bring home very good food, eat good food. I love free diving, spear fishing, all that. But what we're doing today is special. We're going to go kite surfing on the Oregon coast. I'm going to introduce you guys to a literal local

Speaker A

legend. And I don't say that lightly. Before I was doing social media full-time, I used to go out with this guy. He's like um I don't want to lie. I think he's like 73 or 74. And he spends

Speaker A

he's retired. He spends all summer kite boarding, just chasing the wind. Really cool guy. I used to ride with them all the time, but I haven't kite surfed up the coast in a very long time. So hopefully I still remember how to do it.

Speaker A

Hopefully the wind is there and we're pulling up. I'm 5 minutes away. I'm excited to bring you guys along. This is a fun one. And it's active here. I'm excited for you guys to meet my boy Leon. He's literally a legend. There he

Speaker A

is. Local legend Leon in the flesh. You guys aren't ready to meet this guy.

Speaker A

That's all I got to say. You guys are not ready. Mr. Leon. Local legend. [laughter] Good to see you, man.

Speaker A

What's up, man? Good to see you. I was just telling them meeting a serious local legend today. [laughter] Leon is saying it's a little borderline right now. We need pretty strong wind to ride really good.

Speaker A

Yeah. I mean, there were gust 14 11 12 13 13 almost 2015 14 and 12.

Speaker A

So anyway, it's What does that mean for us? Well, makes it hard to get out through the surf cuz you know you need that punch. Anyway, I'm thinking I'm going to go up. See that log past those people?

Speaker A

Yeah. I'm thinking of doing a self launch that I got a carabiner cuz it's just too crowded.

Speaker A

Yeah, it's a lot going on. I think this is the first time you guys are going to watch me get into a wet suit and not have to lube it up. That's one thing that sucks about filming kite boarding

Speaker A

stuff is it's just windy. It's hard to talk in the camera. So, I'm going to get suited up. I'm going to The thing with kite boarding, how it works is you have different kites and different sizes for different windstrings. And right now,

Speaker A

the wind is weak. So, I'm going to put up my biggest kite, just the largest volume for the air to hit. And you know what I'm saying? And I just confirmed with him that he is turning 76 in October, which is insane. This guy

Speaker A

kites like 100 days a year. I look up to him a lot cuz he just gets after it. In the offseason, he's a painter and an artist. Makes music, makes really nice paintings. Haven't rode with him like 2

Speaker A

years, so I'm stoked. For this style of riding, I have my surfboard and my twin tip.

Speaker A

Local legend putting up 13 and 12. I have 13 and 12. This is a great kite.

Speaker A

Is it super durable, big air? Are you going to do a couple big airs for us today?

Speaker A

Yeah, right. The [laughter] wind comes up. None like you. You're the king. Yeah, right. I'll be lucky if I could leave the ground today.

Speaker A

Look at all this blood. That's yours? Yeah. For what? No, just, you know, he's getting cut. Who knows? I don't know.

Speaker A

Leo's a savage. He's got blood all over his kite. I don't even know if I remember how to work this need. Oh my gosh. All over the truck. For a guy who spends as much time as I do in the sun, I was not blessed in

Speaker A

the skin genetic department. I don't tan. I just get pink, burn, red, and then freckle up, and then I'm back to pale white the following day. Well, like 2 3 days later.

Speaker A

Ponchos always save the day. We already know that. This way I could just get naked in front of people. You guys already know the drill. This is a 54 wet suit. It's different than a dive suit. The neopre

Speaker A

inside inside is a closed cell versus diving is open cell. Not going to nerd out about it, but basically one sucks onto your body really hard. The diving one and keeps you warm. This one still allows a lot of water inside, which is

Speaker A

why I could put this one on dry. And the other one I need water and lube for.

Speaker A

Love your videos, man. Thank you, bro. I appreciate it. Thank you. It's been a while since I put this thing on. I promise you one thing. I was a lot skinnier last time I had this thing on, too. Oh gosh. And here, instead of like

Speaker A

dive booties, I'm wearing like actual water shoes. Wow, this thing barely fits around my stomach. Pause. For real. It's a little alarming.

Speaker A

So, typically with kite boarding, let me explain it to you. You have your kite, you have your lines, you have your bar, which is then connected to your harness, and all you're doing is using the wind.

Speaker A

It's like wakeboarding instead of the boat. We can't afford a boat, so we use the free wind that's in the air. It's a life hack. It's like, why spend 200k on a wakeboat when you could just use the

Speaker A

free wind that's like just there? That's what we're doing. Usually, when you're launching, you want a friend to help you launch, but Leon's that guy, so he jimmy rigged a self-launch system, which only OG's do. This is a very OG thing. So,

Speaker A

I'm going to record how Leon does it and then I'm going to go run my own lines.

Speaker A

What day is this for you this season? How many times you've been out this year?

Speaker A

25 30 2530 and it's only less than halfway through the season. Yeah. One one season I I got 90 sessions.

Speaker A

90 sessions is crazy. Okay. All right. Show us how it's done. So, it's carabined up. He's going to let the wind take it and it's going to stay in one position. Yeah.

Speaker A

Yeah. Go get him, Tiger. That's a OG move right there. Young bugs don't know nothing about that. Clip off to the falling down route. That's OG status. Clip into the harness. Safety on. Everything on. There he goes.

Speaker A

Light. Pretty light. Once I get past the brake, that's where there's the wind. Yeah. I'll see you out there, big dog.

Speaker A

Yeah. Hopefully there's enough wind to ride. It's definitely light. Okay, bro. See you. We're gonna untangle these lines.

Speaker A

All right, guys. Let me say one thing before I get started. Kiteboarding is genuinely one of the funnest things I've ever done.

Speaker A

Could be very dangerous. I've had some very scary encounters, especially on the Oregon coast when the waves get big.

Speaker A

Besides that, it's a lot of fun. I'm super pumped and I cannot wait to get back on the water. Let's run it.

Speaker A

Let's just like riding a bike. Woohoo! Not good. Wind is super light. It's really hard to kind of get me get all 250 going.

Speaker A

[music] [music] [music] [music] Silence [music] all inside my head. [music] All inside my head all inside my head inside my Heat. Heat.

Speaker A

Heat. Heat. Heat. Heat. All inside my head inside [music] my head. Well, that was a bit of a pooper.

Speaker A

That's the way it goes. I've got out here many times before where you make the drive, you get out here and the wind isn't as good as forecasted, but luckily I used to do this a lot and I have a lot

Speaker A

of content. So, I hope you guys enjoy that uh journey. For now, as of today, that wasn't that fun and we kind of got skunked. Leon's still riding, but I also got like 50 lbs on Leon. This new 215

Speaker A

build really paying the price for it. This is the first time putting this harness on where I had something not fit me like it used to because of my weight. Catching Cook's been catching up to me. I'm super

Speaker A

hot, though, so I'm going to go cool off in the ocean. Yeah buddy. Needed that.

Speaker A

Let's see if we can catch Leon. He's right there. Yeah, buddy. Yeah, the local legend right there.

Speaker A

a legend, guys. Thank you so much for watching that video. I hope you enjoyed it. I'm actually currently living on this boat in remote Alaska for 5 days, filming another banger for you guys. And I just want to say that it is a huge help. If

Speaker A

you do watch the videos, I can't help but notice that a lot of you are not subscribed. You know, I never ask. Very cringey in my opinion, but I have to ask sometimes. If you do watch, you love the

Speaker A

channel, hit that like button, subscribe. It helps a lot. I really do put everything into these videos. Like this one for example. It's my wife's birthday today and I'm in remote Alaska filming some absolute heaters for you guys. But with that being said, thank

Speaker A

you so much for watching and we'll see you on the next one. Heal.
