Surfing Wedging Slabs in Puerto Rico with Dylan Graves

- How did all this weirdness begin? Here Dylan kicks off the season by revisiting the surf spot that first made him think differently about the waves we choose to ride. Isabela, Puerto Rico is a wild, side-washed beach-break that challenges most ideas of how to even take off. The island is rich with conventionally better waves, yet for Dylan and his buddies Aron Geiger, Carlos Cruz, Hector Santamaria and others, Isabela is their playground of choice. “Yes,” says Dylan at one point, “other spots were pumping. But I didn’t care! This is all I’ve ever wanted.” It’s also kind of their little secret. Yet decades of land exploitation in the area has put Isabela and other surf zones under threat, and it’s time to surrender the secret in order to save it. As Dylan says: “I’d rather share my favorite spot with everyone in the world, rather than lose it forever.”

“I would rather share my favourite spot with everyone in the world, rather than lose it forever” - Beautiful, actually brought a tear to my eye. Lovely stuff
🤙Same 🤩
Same! It was the “you have to be there for the ocean the same way she’s been there for you,” for me. That absolutely hit home, not gonna lie, I was just casually eating my lunch like 🥹 lol
locals in Isabella ought to read this… some real lovely folk.
Isabella is a gem
Beyond stoked these are finally out! Wahoo!
We were love you DG bro ❤️ thank you so much for keeping the series going this is why I surf for the oddities and maddness and most of all for the FUN.
I'm sticking around for weird waves season 5 and 6 and 7 😅etc 🤙🌝🤙 yeeeeeew!
Epic work yet again Dylan!
Same
As a 62 year surfer l go to the uncrowded so l am like you dude good show and thanks Vans
Beautiful work Dylan love this series
I would watch anything Dylan was involved in. So humble and cool✌️
Us too 🤘🏽
Thanks to corrupt governments with 0 ecological conciousness to allow these places to be at risk. Certain places go beyond monetary value! Very cool Dylan saludos 🤙🏽
Yup
Secret Spot... So many stories... That's where I started surfing, I think near 1987... Always my summer spot... At first we use to park cars on the western cliff to be able to watch it from the peak. My car tires (Ford Laser) parked over pointy rock formations. Once, from the lineup I saw my hood open and 2 guys f' around. Caught a wave all the way to the channel and ran, they left and couldn't take my battery and who knows what else... After a while people parked behind the lost dunes or if u had a 4x4 , over the top of dune entrances. So many times shared that lineup with Carlitos Cabrero and his bro, only. I think they had a Vitara (red?). We use to go a lot on Yellow 4x4 Suzuki a lot ...Carlitos Cruz shared lots of waves with us during our College years... I remember later on watching Dylan, Bryan and the other boys... Have not surfed for a while, but yesterday I pick some south coast little waves... The waves are calling me again!
Yeww! Go get it! 🤙
Surfline has been killing it with these series. Maps to nowhere was amazing and now this!
Stoked you have been enjoying them!
lol what are you talking about? this isn't a surfline series, it's Dylan's and the last 3 seasons were partnered with Vans.
@@ItsMe-oi9dy yeah credit to Dylan
@@ItsMe-oi9dyFacts! Better be paying him well for this
@@ItsMe-oi9dyyep! This is Dylan’s brainchild. We are just stoked to share it with you all 🤙🏽
I lived in PR for 3 years as a teenager in the early 80s. The people there are amazing! Hospitable and welcoming. It’s hard for me to watch anything filmed in PR because my heart gets sad.
Facts I used to spend time down there in Februarys growing up. Prob been there more than a dozen tkmes.. I don't surf I bodyboard, winter of 2002 will never forget the swell we hit in Rincon. Best waves of my life to date.
The Secret Sport
I used to ride that wave in the '90s and early 2000s. Back in the early '90s, you had to bring someone who didn't surf just to watch the car because there were so many break-ins. There's a left on the other side of the beach that gets hollow with the right swell. The best way to get in was by jumping off the rocks or entering through the middle of the beach on the channel.
Dylan Graves, what you and your team are doing is fantastic. I remember the dunes; it's sad that the government doesn't care about our beaches. I recall seeing Brian and Dylan when they were just kids, surfing all over the place. I even remember one contest by the Puerto Rican Surfing Federation that Brian won when he was about 10 or 12 years old in the open surf. Keep up the great work! 🤙🤙
Surfline now putting out better content than stab 👏🏽
Great work team!
More weird waves!? Yes please
Comin' atcha! Every Wednesday for the next 4 weeks.
By far one of my favorite series to chill and unwind on CZcams. Love every episode in every season. I will be on the hunt to find somewhere unique in Japan 🤙
Best surf show I’ve ever seen. Thank you! 🤙🏾
Love this video and love that wave I feel the same way! It really reminds me of how the Sebastian inlet used to break before the man came in and fu*caked it up.. killer video yeah boys🤙
Stoked you dig it Max 🤙
The energy that is released when the two waves meet is amazing. Loved this video. We need more content like this.
What a spot! And what a crew! Love your work Dylan 😎
Que locura este spot! Boriqua surfing level and vibes all the way UP!!
Great episode bro! Cool seeing Barb and some of the others i was introduced to way back when!! Keep the stoke!!
Such a rad spot! Pumped for the series!!!
Rehabbing an ACL repair until the end of the year, this kept me going. Can't wait to paddle back out. Thanks for this, Dylan is the man.
So good too see all the familiar faces! Dylan thank you sooo much for getting Tito some exposure! He is the best.
Great episode man
Love it
So happy to see this series back!
So well done, from start to finish. Great job to all involved!
This was so entertaining for me. I love that crazy wave of yours! I've alway enjoyed mutant waves too. Like when Pupakea connects into a backwash Ehukai shorebreak with a backwash fan out that's taller than the whole wave and I just pump down the line for speed and blast at it to see how high I can get on the fan out. There is loads of fun surfing to be had surfing shifting cross up stuff that keeps you guessing at it.
Epic Secret Spot! Carlosssss el maquinaaaaaa!!! Que bueno quedo este episodio corillo!!
🤯 Amazing break! Brilliant vids as always 🤙🏻
Love it! Excited for the new season!!
Epic, great job Dylan 👍
Though I didn't surf it. I never forgot the first time I saw secret spot. I've always wanted to come back and get my share. Maybe one day. I can remember it just like yesterday. Reminded me of my home break at Sebastian years ago before the screwed it up .
oh man! season 4 does not disappoint. So excited!
I love this serie!
Brutal mano.. súper chulo. 🔥
Yeww can’t wait to watch it when I get home
Thank you for making these types of videos. Specially from PR it also makes me feel proud where I come frome. Es uno de mi spots favorito. Eso sí que es un Secret!
I love Secret Spot! I've never seen it that big! Way cool!
Gotta love his humility and commitment to the ecosystem and surfing community! Dylan has always highlighted the locals and communities of every spot he surfs. It's never about him, it's always about the Ohana. Thanks for sharing this special wave! I think it's the same spot he took Mikey February to awhile back?
Thank you pelicans it's a blessing to be around you
Another great episode! Viva La Pelicans
Stoked for a new weird season. Thanks team.

Dylan graves is a treasure to the world of surfing
North side Pr is soo chill. I got invited to visit there for a few months twice and my friend at the time Grayson would let me cruise his beach Geo that had a whole ecosystem living inside of it and just go surf all the spots around the area. No shirt no shoes, boardies a little sack of green and the board. Good times! Eating pinchos down at wildies a having a medalia or two.
Second time stayed at Toths place with my buddy sparrow…same thing 3 months of surf and pr beach vibes. Honestly would contemplate moving there.
You guys got 9s @10s at last wsl Brasil all day❤
The surfers in this surf very well!
Love it
