Additional Information
Spot used to be ultra low-key, but now it's pretty much packed whenever it breaks. Due to this fact, I have no reservations about showing pictures of it here. The fact is that this is a heavy wave, and doesn't break all that often... so if you are not a local or do not know exactly what you are doing, please don't surf here. Its easy to get jacked here, one way or another. It's called 'Deadman's' for a reason...
Atmosphere
Some days you'll see fifty + guys out here (and not because these pictures are online). The Deadman's of old is over- it's pretty much become a mainstream spot now. But as you can see, it still has its quiet moments...

flock dat sit - Worst ever. Haven't even checked it since '94 when there were already 50+ guys in the water, less than 5 could even make the drop. The best place to find agro's and kooks. I'm suprised I haven't seen anything about people being airlifted out yet. Mostly pure puss-bags and idiots surfing a classic wave. If you have any skill at all do yourself a favor and find an empty sandbar at OB or come to the real NorCal.

how lame - how can a wave that breaks about 10 times a year have any locals? say hi to me the next time it works, i'll be the guy in the black wetsuit with the white board.
