“Scripps Pier is really a welcoming place”

Karl Yoder and Colin O’Niell, both mid 30’s and self-described San Diego “transplants” from the Midwest and East Coast respectively, talk about adjacent Scripps Pier.

Laughing the whole time both Yoder and O’Niell talk on the temperament of the local surfers and beach goers at Scripp’s Pier.

“Scripps Pier is really a welcoming place,” said O’Niell. “It’s mostly just anyone having a good time, but there are definitely magical waves here from time to time.”

O’Niell and Yoder scan their memories for memorable moments they shared out in the water. They both land on the spring of 2020 simultaneously and break out into smiles.

“We went surfing in the bioluminescence at night at pitch black,” said Yoder and O’Niell. “It was one of the wildest things that we’ve ever done. It was so sick, whole body’s glowing, waves are glowing.”
