King Tides surfed by the royal Kings from Hawaii who first touched down in Santa Cruz...

...The reason we should have been dubbed "Surf City USA." But anyway...

This video shot by Howard “Boots” McGhee at Privates Beach close to Capitola, shows you the power of the ocean and the havoc it can cause.

Be careful out there!

Now, look at those riptides

Riptides are the ones that come together in the middle of the surf that are really that strong.

Whoa… Check this out…

Surfer zine just reported this:

When you get caught in a riptide, especially during a King Tide, PLEASE GET OUT. That’s usually what pulls people down, surfers and swimmers alike.

Always have an exit strategy of where to get out of the ocean especially with a King Tide and large waves…… in fact don’t plan anything, just don’t go!
