A RARE SOUTH SWELL AT THE WEDGE 

I remember as a teen in LA learning about a place where you could break your neck trying to ride the waves. ‘Well I gotta go there!’ So we did. 🌊

I don't normally comment on videos, considering my job doesn't want me on the internet, but your videos are what we call, "all KILLER and NO FILLER". Well done sir, carry on. Out.

That opening drop was legit

The Wedge is so interesting to watch on video, but you have to see it in person to appreciate just how explosive and dangerous that wave really is. Nearly every wave ends in a train wreck.

Shoot I dont mind a little fun getting worked on some shore break barrels But this is a whole other level of getting worked 😂, much respect!

If anyone responds to my comment ill know they are the real deal. This was my home. Born and raised in New Port bch. I was surfing here at 14 years old, the year was 1979- 80. Lance Collins and Richie Collins would be out here with my buddies and i some times. My buddy Guy Hahn and I would visit Lance Colins surf board shop almost every day. Richie Collins was very very young. I remember the first Wave Tool thruster surf boards Lance started making. They were simply the best stick you could buy back then. The other surf shop we went to often was the Frog House located on PCH. I am 57 years old now living in Louisiana with terminal cancer. If not for my childhood youth been spent growing up in south Cali I would say my life was a waste but, it was a glorious time and a better life could not have been lived. 🤙 to all my brothers out there who lived and loved the 80's in south Cali as a teenager. You may not know it but you are truly fortunate to have lived such a blessed childhood.

Blown away, by how many people complain & talk shit, about free content, that they can choose to watch, or not watch. Totally insane. Thanks for the upload 🙌

Love that October lighting, many the times I took off going right on bigger fall days only to be blinded as soon as you drop in. Nice footage at one of surfing's premier stunt waves.

12 Hurricanes in Florida but still doesn't compare to the bouncy power of the wedge, a deep water wave suddenly approaching shoreline. A neck breaking nut buster. But whoa, what a challenge. Looks rather fun.

It's a nice video...Autumn at the Wedge. l like the afternoon, autumn light and the ground breaking camera angles!

Surfings not a sport it’s a way of life, it’s a way of looking at that wave and saying, hey bud let’s party! 😆🤘

the comments are always so wholesome and dope on these kinds of surfing vids, love that. great vid bro!

0:17 "come here, my son's surfing" * dies *

It’s so cool to watch but I could never attempt it, I feel like I’d break my neck 😅

this is terrifying, I'll stay on the beach, thanks.

That air reverse was sick, especially with the lighting.. I think that was Tanner Mcdaniel?

Sage burke’s make was siiiick

The Wedge is over there by the Jetty. Looks more like Cylinders,.

Thanks for this Wedge video! Reminds me of Sandy Beach on steroids.

The guy who busted the elrollo on the bodyboard is a god

so good. favourite youtube movie I've seen this year.

Love the vid, some of the rocks ruined the shot

Great sound on tgis. Loving the rumble of the wave youve captured, great with headphones!

I love these types of videos. This one just frustrated me. The angle of the recording makes me wonder if this was their first time doing this.

Saw a little kid get sucked down the slope one night by a rogue wave. Lifeguard raced down the slope and caught the kid just as he was about to get sucked in by the under tow. Whole beach cheered for the heroic rescue. Saved his life.

This is in one of my favorite places in Newport Beach

Wedge and Pipeline are easily the most dangerous spots to surf

Guy who shot this video really screwed himself with this angle foreground , especially those rocks blew the shots, I'm surprised , cus these guys should know better, odd time of year to see this occur

I was going to go out, but I had to mow the lawn!

Aye, the Seas were hungry. They had their fill. Kudos to the chargers!

How do you duck dive that when it’s crashing right on you though

Imua SoCal Surfer 🏄🏽‍♀️

Correct me if I’m wrong, but those guys don’t where leases hey?? Why not

Such a savage wave...

These blokes have balls of steel

@0:05 - that's a heavy drop there ... can't say I've ever taken that on

Why are you so far back in the dunes. ? Wrecking a good video with foreground in the way

These guys are insane 😂

I will never ever.. ever.. ever.. ever.. surf the wedge. I said that a long long time ago. When I was 16 years old. I'm 56 now. There's one thing you can say about me.. no,.. it's not that I'm a pussy,. lol.. it's that I'm a man of my word!. And if there's another thing you can say about me,.. I have never broken my neck. Gotten close but all my vertebrae are still in place!.. but thank you, for all you brave souls that are out there pushing the limits!. You guys are f****** crazy! And I love it!

Great angles. Needed some trees to help block the view.

Yesterday afternoon? (October 23). Looks a little bit rugged, with the onshores.

Looks like a nice option to kiss the sand and support the leash industry

whoah😮🏄‍♂️

Used to body surf there..called it pounding sand ......

Awsome 👍🌊🌊🌊

Ok that second wave that had to hurt

Dude, you need to frame your shots much better.

Rocks, ice plant, waves, occasional surfer, more rocks, sand, oh look a wave, more rocks…

Bone crushing shorebreaks

Back in the 70s the wedge was almost the exclusive domain of body surfers. The shitty boards of the era just didn’t work there I guess.

Where's that guy on the jet ski?

Charging 👍

That wave will make ur board broken

When did the transition from The Wedge being a predominately body surfing wave to a board surfing wave occur ?

Anyone who surf there, does one pretty much always hit the bottom?

Appreciate the video, but please work on your angles. Nobody likes to see the blurry rocks / beach instead of the rides.

I can't imagine the amount of sand that guy ate that got pitched from the top

How much you wanna bet that if instead of sand this break had rocks ,junk cars and broken bottles, it would still be surfed.

Great footage! I'm just curious though, aren't these waves mostly travelling north up the coast? I did see a couple heading south but it seemed like more were north, unless those were all just reflections off of the wedge or something! Either way, awesome video cheers

This frankly doesn't look fun or safe.. looks pretty much like the wave is about 7ft and the sand bottom is only about 3ft beneath the bottom of that wave..

Só fechadeira

Body boarding that must be the funnest shit EVER

ouch..hurt my back watching this

South swells always break there.

So rare, they come every year. 🤔🤣

Nice vid👊

The nurses at the E.R. tell me I was at the wedge before I arrived naked because my shorts got ripped off 😆 lol

Onde é o Point?

And how is a so. Swell at the Wedge RARE? The only swell that hits there. October has plenty of south swells. Maybe call yourself clueless cal surfer? lol

Would love to know how it's possible for a south swell or even a Southeast swell to hit the wedge and break at any point considering there's a 2000 ft jetty there. It doesn't really make much sense to me. If there was a sandbar like three or 4,000 ft north of the jetty and then I can see a solid south swell hitting that. But how is South swell is making it 50 ft on the other side of a 2000 ft jetty Just doesn't make any sense.

this wave is so heavy lol sheesh it’s like one launch pad for a surfer

I don't know what you're thinking the 1st 8 minutes We're hiding from somebody behind the rock then came come out and go to the right get everybody going down this face and finishing out Why do you start with that next time

Spines are over-rated.

Surfed this. I’ll never walk again.

3:17 fckn killed it

I only ride 2-4ft waves, the thought of entering that water gives me heart palpitations haha

That boog at 2:00!!!!

This is what we call a smoke show

What’s with the weird angles We’re you trying to be all arty Didn’t work

Jeez is it worth getting smashed in that barrel for these little runs? It’s like a hit of crack - good for 10 seconds then you crash hard. I’ve never surfed or smoked crack 😂but just saying. These guys are brave.

The guy from 4:12-4:20 Hi there

too bad there's a rock or a dune on half of the shots

Never understood why people love surfing a close out

Looks and sounds like a symphony of violence.....

0:16 😧

The guy at 12 Seconds no way he survived that 🤷‍♂️

Why do people surf this? It is obviously a sponger wave. Salt Creek too crowded? Or is it the pay parking?

Don't get me wrong I love surfing, but I just don't get why anyone would want to put there time & effort into being thrown about in a huge washing machine for a 5 second thrill Whatever floats your boat l guess !

BAD ANGLE!

The dirty ol wedge! This is my faveporite spot to watch, NOT SURF, watch

Love watching your content over here in Texas. How does anyone survive having one of those waves crash down on them? That’s like a two-story building of water, right? Y’all are crazy

Wedging😉

Yewwwwww

i like seeing different angles of the wedge, but why tf are you hiding behind rocks and shit?

No pros out today understandably. Saw Bobee C. though.

Where does one go to see waves like this. I already know where to see crazy people.

I wouldn’t surf that stuff I would b too worried about breaking my board and I can’t afford that

I know nothing about surfing,but it appears those waves are not the best for surfing.

Getting workedddddd
