Surfing The Wedge from the surf movie Longboard Habit...music by Rick Holmstrom

[@mellotrongirl]

Outrageous rock n roll surf. I could watch this all day

[@MultiDoubledog]

The way those waves break there, the ride may start well, but almost never ends well.

[@oceanstylekt]

mad waves and crazy surfers---it's super awesome,I hope god bless them!!

[@Distressedmullet]

I can never watch enough videos of the wedge. It's like watching a train wreck, or throwing a frog out of a car window.

[@clarkewi]

Oh how wonderful - that really looks like fun.

[@charleskoehler9873]

Never seen the Wedge more bloodthirsty… Dirty Old Wedge indeed!

[@DarrenWellhoefer]

what a great video. thanks.

[@Jim341046]

Just hilarious! At one point it's raining surfers!! lol

[@TheParkourSam]

Hey it's Sam from the video club. Good stuff! Looking forward to seeing more.

[@JulietsMan]

the most violent surf break that i know of on earth. i was almost killed there on a rideable peak that was about as big as a city bus standing upright...and u could fit the bus in the tube of that same wave. violent, scary, dangerous, beautiful and totally irresistable.

[@guitarded0081]

omg! this vid is hillarious everybody getting tossed around!! thats one difficult wave to surf but an easy wave to break your board

[@cnthunder9]

2:09 "Oh yeah I'm ridin' this wave, WHOOOAAH!"

[@richvideo]

it should...he is one of the best blues guitar players ever...thanks

[@rodtemplar]

cool vid dude, nice shots. Keep making 'em.

[@keenanlax6]

Gnarliest shore break i've ever seen.

[@kewldudesweet]

haha thats those waves are soo brutal im jus staring and laughing just thinking why!!!!!??? haha

[@nfwriter9999]

Wholly Jeebus! Metalized!

[@cstimpfl]

sickest wedge video...

[@MrPilago808]

damn this looks like so much fun

[@25yearsnow]

@bigislander72 basically it has little to do with the sandbar. There was a man-made jetty (the one you see) that was built there a while back and its creates a refracted wave. The refraction is a small wave that is then sent back to sea and hits the next incoming wave and launches the wave in the air. Basically, a wave bounces of the jetty and combines into another on-coming wave. It's like 2 waves in 1, which gives it that "explosion" effect."

[@chonapolis]

that place is insane!!!

[@gooniegod1]

never heard of this place...But it must peal nice quite often there were heaps of people there

[@ridingthenose]

The surfers here have balls man, gnarly wave for sure

[@cosmonauta2001]

So much fun!

[@SuperFish40]

haha noicee! i was bodysurfing at the wedge except not this big

[@richardfegley4460]

Rick's music is perfect for this, really bummed when he left Rod Piazza and the Mighty Flyers.

[@charleskoehler9873]

My… the Dirty Old Wedge sure was in a nasty mood that day.

[@Kyled68]

this is so sick

[@rideHPD]

the wedge is probably the one place in the world where bodyboarders are respected and admired more than surfers

[@jazzysnaps]

This is some of the best footage of surfing wipe outs on u tube five star production.

[@jmaghami]

@bigislander72 It depends on if there are off season NW wind swells will ruins the sandbar. If its consistent South swells, the bottom will be good. And the angle is also a big part of it.

[@egobis659]

ha ha ha!!!grandi! grazie!

[@ElBarsaEsUnaMierda2]

2:09 is totally SICKK!!

[@UNknO1Wn321]

i wanna try that spot i would die surfing there but if i boogie boarded i would maybe survive... and i love to fly up into the air into the water its just so fun!!

[@antiago1983]

Funny spot for surfing. Funny and not dangerous.

[@25yearsnow]

@bigislander72 oh, and the way the jetty is angled, The Wedge only gets big on S or SSW swells (spring, summer)

[@p512622439]

the f'kin WEDGE. chaos. pure chaos.

[@newerawearer]

haha so funny watching lids getting rolled. respect though ahah

[@bigislander72]

Love it. Its like medium size sketch! What day of the year was this? I went one time after BB season, mid-november. Was small for wedge, but still 8-10 foot faces. Got a few wicked barrels. Seems to break different compared to the other time I went during a large summer swell. More like a "normal" wave, but still slammin! Can anyone explain in general what happens to the sandbar throughout the year?

[@CheckThisSaw]

0:28... ooohhhhhh fight!

[@OhAnnaAnnaAnna]

i cant freakin believe there aer so many ppl in the water w/ this ahahahh wow

[@wall12345]

Indeed, but that roll is insane lol.

[@Fergy64]

backwash kills hahahah sick

[@roniii2743]

Dude... what the hell is that even called? I've never seen waves bounce and toss people like that. This place is insane.

[@HeinekenLasse]

1:21 No skimboarding for today son !

[@clarkewi]

Insane.

[@Ymril]

Ils sont couillus les mecs!

[@bbeenn]

[@vtmike13]

the skimboarders and bodyboarders there are the best

[@paskowitzz]

this is some fuuucking gnarly shit man.

[@HBCult]

this should be called "Bodyboarders Dropping in"

[@jazzysnaps]

Next to Sandies Hawaii worlds most dangerous shore break this tops all

[@surferocker95]

2:14 OMFG that would suck falling and not know when ur goin to land....but it look fuuny

[@richvideo]

[@Riaan38]

insane launches....1:43...looks nasty

[@Cre8iveSignWorks]

thare's nothin i like better than seeing bodyboarders taking gas and getting chopped up in the surf! haha

[@thuff420]

@TheNightwalker1985 You definitely wanna be experienced when you come to the wedge

[@tomtomiz]

Haha I love to watch people getting their asses kicked by the dirty old Wedge!:D

[@thebrettles]

NO kidding. looks like a mini version of mavericks, and why does the wave sometimes explode at the end? does the bottom change or something?!

[@colindominy]

The Dirty OId Wedge ... OOUCHH !!!

[@skimdeleware]

yeah its a shorebreak so it comes up really quick and theres a backwash when the water hits the sand

[@RVCAallday]

that must have been at really low tide

[@pango7]

0:26 loooool

[@gordanz92]

crap wave and super crowded.. but would be fun mucking around on that backwash :)

[@654654321321]

People ride this place because during the summer it is often has the largest waves in all of southern california.

[@navigator7005]

I like how at 1:21 there is a guy with a skimboard.

[@richvideo]

@bigislander72 hi...i dont remember exactly but it was an early fall swell about three years ago

[@cedricducasse5995]

COMME C'EST BON!!!

[@SAGESKATE1]

I dont know why but even if you get pounded every wave its still fun haha

[@dickylobster]

So sick@2:14

[@richvideo]

[@lokkk100]

crazy wave, how could someone stand on it?

[@paulslacknoise]

[@LukePuplett]

Do I spy a rock-wall running right along the back there??

[@dapwnage123]

[@clarkewi]

[@arcticrhinoturd]

I saw The Wedge and longboard in the title and was like wtf.

[@MillAreo]

utter destruction

[@WatchMusicTV]

[@hiphoppin9]

yeah i agree but surfers drop in on bodyboarders about just as much, do you bodyboard?

[@richvideo]

newport beach...CA

[@FlowFighter21]

some heavy ass shit

[@HebusxJebus]

Do many boards get snapped anyone ?

[@FattySounzUnited]

Richie, i have to know: Why do people even paddle into The Wedge? Is it a death wish? Mass suicide? I mean, wtf? Comic insanity!

[@richvideo]

adrenaline addiction?

[@MrLilDre1]

where is this place

[@mellotrongirl]

In thickness and in health...

[@alldayeveday]

party wave....

[@kyliewog1]

If Chuck Norris was a surf spot he would be The Wedge

[@IvanDrago187]

looks like death, especially with all the other surfers to crash into

[@richvideo]

@TheNightwalker1985 def dangerous ...people have died and often an ambulance is called for

[@whoevencares69]

2:01 how does that even happen?

[@alonsoxplod]

0:23 DOES HE SPIN THE BODYBOARD?

[@richvideo]

yes ...i believe there is scientific proof

[@MapleFTWStory]

Lol why would even think of bringing a SURF board there... Thats like breaking 400$

[@ironmonnkey15]

@WETxTACOxFART Because it is ridiculously hard, most surfers cant pull it off.

[@DionOrthega]

verry funny
