Bodyboard Wedge POV | October 7th | 2017 (RAW FOOTAGE)

[@QmanBikerDude]

so many people cutting you off!!

[@ThePerpetualStudent]

As a surfer it saddens me to see that. Truly sucks

[@_riley_hannah_]

Perpetual Student yep same here 😢 its usally the other way around

[@ThePerpetualStudent]

Riley: very true. Groms are bold these days.

Kooks are flourishing,

[@schlickmannedits5922]

they stoled his barrel lol

[@kohdak6020]

This is why I hate wedge on big days. Everything just becomes a competition where everyone cuts everyone off. Still a great video glad to see you kept your breath with that mouth piece!

[@radjared]

Punch them in the face and see if it happens again..

[@randomhunter1236]

@@radjared internet tough guy here huh?

1:54 is that guy didn't drop in that would have been a sick wave

[@grace-gd5tj]

Leo Montano he would’ve made it out

[@chippamang]

If this was in aus, the prics dropping in would get a good yell or punch... (not being tough) but surf etiquette is a must. First time mistake, second guys in trouble. plus the barrels you could've pulled into were ace, felt bad every time you had to paddle back out for nothing. Great vid though!

[@Chrisg841]

Try surfing D'bah!

[@dissentbrah6709]

fuck oath bro, im from perth and we have a wave exactly like this. the whole time watchin this vid i cldnt stop thinkn if these cunts tried pullin that stuff here (at any surf spot in general) they would be feelin very stupid and sorry quickly. seems like americans be getting fucked on so hard these days that this sort of stuff is just the norm to them. anyways sorry for ramble, just returned from punchiin a few billys lol

Props to you going out on a big day like that, I know I would struggle out there.

[@Robloxslopry]

[@on0pe773]

At 3:59 you knew that was a wedge and you were like I wish I was at home, that shorebreak was heaves east.

[@edson9480]

I was thinking about surfing cause it looks a lot of fun what should I start with?

[@robshields161]

anyone live in san diego? This weekend was great

[@kevinhorstmann6351]

yea it was sick

[@dante599]

Rob Shields yea I went to marine street and it was 5 to 7 ft bombing

[@npcompletenate]

It was sick! I went to Hospitals in La Jolla

[@kittysmalls4602]

Tamarack was firing

[@domcars]

Yup! I went to Seaside! 7 or 8 perfect tubes and plenty more fun rides, much better than tabletops which was just closeouts. Very glassy too!

[@raimundoandresfarias6827]

where are this

[@jacoje]

This is very similar to our traffic on the 405!

[@vmodsm]

Dude sick video....I’m one for only bodysurfing but your paddle out sessions instantly brought me back to remembering the “paddle out” great video man!! Love the sounds and felt what you felt! Keep up the awesome videos

[@jack-ih7ip]

sick! I'm keen to see the edit (if there is one)

[@EstevoCarioca]

Hi, can you tell which go pro support did you used to shoot this video?

[@yrenny5692]

Great video love it !!

[@jaggersargent1030]

Question how do you GoPro a POV I have always wanted to but don’t know how

[@franktank675]

He is using a mouth attachment where it has a mouth guard attached to the go pro and u bite it to hold it still. I’m pretty sure he Uses this, which is why he doesn’t talk and only groans. But u can also get chest mounts and head mounts

[@sleepinglion1192]

Anyone know if Newport point broke this weekend? And if so, was it any good?

[@jaywarfilms4894]

Keep doing these i love em

[@luisfernandomoncadapena9069]

3:57 yeaaaaa!! Men

[@canaldeisaias]

Awesome video dude!

[@williamkampert1475]

May be a dumb question but why do surfers and boarders go leash-less at the wedge?

[@jeremythellman6473]

William Kampert the waves form close to shore so when the wave closes out you are already at the sand and getting your board isn't hard and when it gets bigger they don't want to be pulled by their board underwater after they get pitted.

[@keeganlad]

So you can ditch the board and not get sucked around with it

[@MoustacheCloud]

Plus, the waves are so turbulent, your board turns into a helicopter underwater. You don't want to be anywhere near that thing.

[@marcistrash9578]

A final reason is that when you crash the leash can get caught around you. One time I could of nearly died because when the wave crashed my neck leg and arm were tied toghther and i had to try to get out before drowning.

[@jacksonangus-alldridge5216]

William Kampert the waves are so powerful that your leash will probably break anyway

[@ethaneberhardt8238]

1:56 shaking my head

[@bohana8082]

You should try Waimea bay shore break🤙

[@alikaamasiu5624]

True I love living in Hawaii it’s great

[@toatevaga9812]

Yesah

[@j_mutch]

Love the wedge videos

[@everettshipp386]

Hey mike it seemed pretty make able is that why there were so many surfers?

[@schlickmannedits5922]

5:00 LOL that wipeout

[@genomitchalinni8106]

As kids, we would eat, early, at Carl's jr. On harbor blvd. See the bus coming, and grab some trays to use as a "Hand Gun" at the Wedge. Many memories of Balboa and that place.

[@vicmartheboat]

Any significant in the non matching fins?

[@tomasstabilini4309]

4:00 EPIC

[@VypaGaming]

I run to the shallow but having a race with the wave if it hits me before I get to the shallow I lose

[@RobloxUser999]

I am currently tight on money so I am planning to buy a boogie board to later on save for a surf board? Is this a good idea and I have never surfed in any form before but I am a hardcore skateboarder so I hope I can improve soon as possible.

[@ax10yz232]

I say go for it; while they're very different techniques, at least you'll be learning about how waves work and how to catch them, while also building up some form of paddling strength. Bear in mind though that skating, while seeming similar, is actually very different to surfing (coming from someone who has done both), so don't expect to progress faster in surfing simply because you might be a great skater.

[@byronlegge24]

Lupe Grageola bra I'm a bodyboarder I say go for a pride and fines u must get elo

[@LordFlashheart1]

Those drop ins are awesome

[@Robloxslopry]

this was awesome keep this work up

[@tetra1554]

How df do you run with palms

[@ethon4828]

I like the description.

[@httr2193]

How big are these waves

[@ALGH2101]

To get a better shot of the barrel and make the angle of view vertically higher instead of wider set your Gopro to either 1440 (BEST Quality), 960(Good), and I think 720 (not for sure about 720 but definitely the first 2) . Iv missed so may barrels from making the lens wider (Horizontally) which cuts out the top of the FOV(field of view) by setting it to things like 1080 and 1080 superview, which are great but not so much for surfing. Also when you make the FOV longer instead of wider you can stretch it out in GP Studio to give it that fuller/wider look but now you have the full barrel in view. You know you deeeeeep though when you can see the chandelerin front of you when your its set at 1080/ wide view. cheers

[@benhags28]

What kind of fins do u have

[@VypaGaming]

In the shallow I think the sea has bubble bath in

[@denislejeune9218]

So there's no priority at the Wedge?

[@radicalhipster9712]

Can’t wait for the edit

[@772Jack]

[@oscaromahoney3627]

Think it's time for a new board yet mike?

Get someone on the shore to record a bit of it. It’s difficult to appreciate how big it is with the wide eye lense

Nah man I just got a new one last week I think it's the lense might get a fish see if that makes a diffrence

[@larrywolf2558]

Don't look tiny to me. Looks f'ing giant

[@AnitaMaxWynnn]

Kronik HD yes go i to settings and picture or picture mode something like that and you will have 3 options wide medium and narrow. Use medium narrow is not good but medium makes them look like the size they are

[@kronikhd9941]

Thanks

[@pomeloco1554]

The wedge looks like the spot where I grew up in Brazil although the swells don't get enormous. If someone cuts you like that he slapped by everybody else. That's the problem in crowded spots, no more locals to maintain a certain order and respect. I know that locals can be idiotic sometimes but generally is for the best. Somebody from elsewhere that comes to our spot has to be positive minded and cool.

[@Surfssmallwaves]

Mike when you're in there getting wrecked on basically dry sand, do you hold the GoPro to keep it from getting ripped from your mouth? I've filmed (or tried) on some bigger days in LI and pulling into a closeout sucks because the thing gets ripped out (not looking to lose a tooth or something).

[@aussievapezaussievapez__3320]

[@kyleteeter7589]

I've surfed for almost twenty years now, and I have never understood why guys like the wedge. It's a closeout onto the sand. Can't actually make a barrel, no turns, short ride. I just don't get it.
