Short Film Highlights Epic Thanksgiving Swell at San Fran’s Ocean Beach

Ocean Beach off San Francisco is one of the heaviest beach breaks in the world. When big northwest winter swells hit the sands of OB, the place thunders to life. Known for riffling barrels and hour-long paddle-outs, Ocean Beach is not for the faint of heart. Not to mention it’s loaded with White Sharks. This past Thanksgiving weekend the swell was firing and filmer Jeff Chavolla opted to capture what he calls, Ocean Beach on Fire.
