Newport Beach, CA, Wedge Surf 20-25ft, 8/27/2014 - (1080p@60) - Part 5

[@mulletover3832]

Nice video, but the music makes me feel like I'm watching a Bowflex infomercial.

[@Sp4wnK3lla]

I have never seen the Wedge like this before but the music kills it horribly.

[@shanehayes9349]

Cue the music! Oooooh yeeeeah...get totally ripped with the Bowflex. *manly voice

That song lasted so long, thought I was trippin for a sec

[@jackmcandle6955]

That’s definitely a acid track

[@just1voice994]

I’m going to be humming this in my head for the rest of the day , fuck

[@Tribblepuppy]

Lived on the Balboa Peninsula (Miramar and I Street) from the mid 60's to the mid 70's, and when the swell got like this we would grab our fins and boogie type boards and try to ride those rollers. Some times I would be digging sand out of cracks and orifices for days afterwards. Definitely worth it!

[@henryssurfshowcase]

Good job getting that footage, looks tough with all the people and the waves splashing over the hump..

[@jessepipia619]

It looks like the music is the real winner here!

Don't know what y'all are talking about, this music is totally radical dudes! It's a little beach blanket bebop but so slayerish dudes!

Dudes surf this just to get destroyed,I have a home break called Dumpers that works on a big SW but no where near as heavy as this,you dudes are nuts!!

Epic video on all counts!!

[@cozzyinternet4706]

2017 and I'm just watching it.......but still amazing, the Little Nazare!!

[@ActinOut]

Plenty of people's comments have covered the music issue well. Was just thinking with those waves breaking so close to shore that all those seagulls are hanging out to clean up the fragments. It looks like riding the wave is like 5 sec then you gotta bail so you don't pound sand. Killer waves. Is there like a coastal shelf drop off just off shore making those things break so close?

[@A-FrameWedge]

You can tell it is a hurricane swell because the lips are relatively thin, a Southern Hemi pushes more water because it is farther away making the lips much thicker and twice as powerful.

[@captmack007]

bailing at 4:00 because the music.

[@rj9617]

I made it to 2:52. Arguably the worst soundtrack ever.

When the surf is going over the jetty you know it's dangerous.

Watching that huge peak come in from outside is the stuff of nightmares. Suicidal Death Waves.

The part of "prepping for the Wedge" was more exhilarating then the "shore break smash" that took place time again. ,, if anything you can say you did it,,,,,

[@mamacitadelosperros533]

Back in the 60s nobody would have taken a board out at the Wedge. It was bodysurfers only, and not that many. I was the first female, then there was another in the late 60s, but it was a small group who bodysurfed there. It broke a little differently back then and sometimes you could take off on the jetty side wave and make it across the big peak. No boards and no sponge back then. It was great!

[@Michael-cs3li]

You weren't the first female

[@Michael-cs3li]

Also there were boards, why are you lying?

One thing i remember about THE Wedge, were the whirl pools. You gotta catch the wave because of that. Gravels was safer...

[@phillipdavison2438]

I've noticed that it seems like some days the surf is bigger than other days

[@donhancock332]

Must be as many fish in the water as surfers- look at all the seagulls!

[@sector783]

The average in between wave is about a few feet overhead, so call it 10ft foot. Most set waves are double overhead. 20-25ft?? That’s ludicrous.

[@tomasstabilini4309]

9:13 Superman is flying! 😲

[@SxEshawn]

Only bodyboarding Is suitable for these type of waves. Even then your back is going to get effed up hard. The board will survive though. Even though that seems more like double to triple overhead at most. I don’t know though. Some of the OGs would know more.

[@alienzordfalcon5162]

What was the swell direction this day? It’s angled up perfect for a sarf. I live in newp and it’s not often you see the wedge this truly rideable. I’ve definitely had a few close paralyzers out there in my day. I got into my first tube as a young lad at the wedge on a monster back door close out. I will remember that vision forever. Good times. Thanks for the vid brother dawg🤙

[@Tribblepuppy]

Swell is coming from the south/southwest. Caused by a tropical storm or hurricane down off the Baja Peninsula.

[@surferdude8086]

@@Tribblepuppy You're an idiot. It didn't come off of Baja. It came off of mainland Mex. And it was a Southeast hurricane swell. "It's better to be thought a fool then to open ones mouth and remove all doubt." Abraham Lincoln

[@surferdude8086]

This particular swell was a rare SE (Southeast) hurricane swell that came off of mainland Mexico. Hurricane Marie. I was fortunate enough to have the pleasure to surf it two days at two different locations that take that direction. Newport Point was absolutely epic and believe it or not.... Doheny was really good too. Doheny faces SE directly and was super huge and more manageable for older surfers with a lot of experience who wanted the pleasure of big surf without getting beaten to death like what was happening at just about every south facing beach those 3 epic days. 🤙😀

[@s.z.9517]

15:08 Imagine you have to duck that. Also, when the wave carries boards you know it's serious.

[@zacharywaddell8852]

[@kerryemmerson8954]

Some big ass waves here. This is the one place on this coast I woulda thought would close out with any size. But surprisingly, they are holding up well at, what 10 foot plus, some of those waves. Awesome. I dont usual care or comment on the music. But in the time I wrote this comment I gotta agree with y'all. This fucking music is a worthless sa k of shit that doesn't deserve to share anything with waves. Come on man.

[@genomitchalinni8106]

Yea, I was hoping for the sound of the surf. Not your garage band.

[@howardz43]

In the early 1960's it was all bodysurfing on such waves. We few who surfed it regularly, wouldn't allow boards of any kind. They were too dangerous to bodysurfers. Now apparently it's all boards and no bodysurfing, which is kind of sad in a way! Also that music is mind-numbing repetitious.

[@dawudcharlton]

howardz43 you guys get blackball just for you. But yeah music is like a DVD menu song on loop annoying as hell. PS bodyboarder

[@1949rangerrick]

I too used to go there in the late 60s after a day surfing local spots where we were not likely to break anything or die. You are right, no boards back then. I’ve been there on days like this video and was in awe of the bravery/stupidity of the guys out there. Well, I guess it wasn’t any worse then going to Nam. I can’t help but wonder, what would the surf be like if they hadn’t built the jetty? They ruined Dana Point, but I guess that was a different situation.

[@alivation]

big and nasty but closing out so everyone that caught it got done over at the end. No way to exit cleanly.
