Flood Control Mug 11oz

In the early days of surfing, this legendary surf spot was considered the best in all of California for size and conditions. The setup was a breakwater built to direct the LA River water flow straight out to sea while protecting the Naval shipyard directly on the other side of the jetty. This created a sandbar which produced a backwards wedge effect, and then another sandbar right point a long distance from shore. There was a submarine canyon just offshore and, being in the San Pedro Harbor, it created a swell magnet to this exact spot, which faced south, so the San Pedro hills and Palos Verdes peninsula blocked the prevailing winds. A few aerial photos have been coming out recently, and after hours of searching, sometimes gems appear like those with the Naval Pacific Fleet they were sent to Pearl Harbor and met their ultimate fate. This photo is hard to believe, because the scale is just massive. The waves are really big and the distance to shore is incredible. The old-timers would tell stories of 20-foot waves — that if Huntington was three-foot, Flood Control would be twice that or more — and with this photo, we can see now that they weren’t exaggerating.”
