Buddha Pool

Jerry Valdez at Buddha Pool.

The Buddha Pool. One of the best! It has been heralded as one of the great gems from the 1970′s pool era. A perfect offset keyhole. Ten foot deep, perfect radius transitions, no kinks and smooth bullnose coping. The San Fernando OG pool players claim it was a top ten. Wes Humpston and TA both hit it and gave it stellar status. Jerry Valdez was in on it from the go and he lists it in his top five of all time.

There will be more on the Buddha pool in the upcoming William Sharp Book that Bill and I are working on. It is going to be an awesome thing. History. Pools. The pioneers of our lifestyle. Skate- Ozzie

  1. Sheeze….Jerry Valdez with legendary power and finesse just coming up under the coping and slamming a tail tap. Would have loved to have been there during that session and heard the crack of that pivot. Truly one of the most gifted vert riders of all time. Total Respect
