The WEDGE - Biggest and Gnarliest Day of May Swell 2024! (RAW) 

As an old guy, I always look for bodysurfers in these videos, but after seeing what the boogie boarders are doing, I can understand everyone going to foam boards. one thing about bodysurfing, you don't get a lot of air time after the drop.

Our memories, I always thought the kneelo was because guys just couldn't hack it . Hahaha

Me too - in the early 60's to 1970. It was bone crunching but fun.

Good when they're not doing helicopter 360s on softboards at Lowers.

Totally agree! raw beefs👍

I peed on the leg of a rival photog just as the set of the day showed up....

It's not as bad as it looks, unless you are pile-driven into the sand; I dislocated a collarbone there when I was slammed on my head and shoulder into the bottom. Or the wave lands on your back while you are on your board; I damaged my pec muscles and sternum there when I made the mistake of not ditching my bodyboard and allowed a giant wave to sandwich me. The wave pushing down against the board floating up made for a lifelong injury. Both hurt now, thirty years later. Staying in the barrel is the safest. It may look violent, but the wave actually just collapses on itself and one usually just pops right back up. That said, I nearly drowned there when I was 18 (before my injuries) because I was caught outside and hammered by endless waves, barely able to surface and take a breath before another wave was upon me. It was only because I had enough sense to push off the bottom (when I could finally touch) that I was able to push my way towards the shore and didn't drown. There were no lifeguards out that day. The Wedge is usually fairly shallow, so the biggest danger really is hitting the bottom, especially further north/west in Cylinders, which is even shallower. It's not for beginners. People die there almost every year, although oftentimes it is someone who ignores warnings and gets swept off the jetty. There have been some people paralyzed. I think serious injuries and fatalities are rare for those who are experienced there.

No, just tell us all right here!

@@boblatkey7160 I'm not sure if that's the best thing to do

@@AcL-DevelsTango I think it is! People who like to keep secrets about our public beaches, and the ocean for all, or people who like to play stupid "locals only" games are truly rotten human beings. I say keep it friendly and be loving and caring to all, and share without greed.

@boblatkey7160 bro, you're right, and I'm not for all of this localism stuff. It's not about the spot. It's about the conditions. Here's the spot 33.088716,-117.311093 For the best shot at the stupidity mesmerizing but small barrels, it's gotta be a huge swell (the bigger the better) it's gotta be a low tide that's coming up if that makes sense. Best at dead wind, obviously. Is there anything I missed out on?

@@AcL-DevelsTango that's awesome! I'll check it out. Thanks man! All the best to you!

Oh yeah
