[@klipkop5334]

Man, I just love your videos, but especially the RAW versions. I really enjoy the fact that there's no music and it's like I'm just parking off at the beach watching these riders get a beating! Awesome!

[@ManofWater]

thanks brotha glad i could share

[@karendixon401]

These waves are horrible for surfing ..way too tumultuous. I worked at Hoag Hospital nearby and unfortunately a 17 yr old was slammed to the sand in these waves and was paralyzed from the neck down..😪

[@ploxboi36]

18:00 guy misses the barrel of his life...

[@Flvbybcn]

Like your raw footage from the Wedge! Good job! Dog digging the sand is also nice :) What is the sea depth in wave breaking zone? Looks like no more than couple feets!

[@lipetopgame1232]

Algum brasileiro pensando que no Brasil não tem ondas assim

[@holasanja6618]

3:29 damn what a sick one that dudes shredding

[@sleestack9831]

You can hear ,@jacuzzisurfer going nutz at 0:55

[@pablomalaga4676]

20 feet?

[@clementlecaroux2101]

big balls at 0:52 !!

[@hookilledtobymilder]

Sketchhhhhhhhh

[@jefferyestrada5227]

So nice to get the raw footage and hear the waves and no stupid background music. Thanks!

[@Asyy-82]

DONT SAY STUPID YOUR STUPID

[@badreddinetchilavek9558]

Jeffery Estrada iiii

[@rlyrooster9665]

[@IridescentPharaoh476]

[@rorysurf]

[@ManofWater]

[@ManofWater]

the guy left who he was talking to and i just prayed that he wouldn't come talk to me lol

[@stfuliberal]

Its called being a human being dumb fuck. Move back to the middle east.

[@ManofWater]

😂 ^^^ someones having a bad day

[@maxjtj31]

4:52 Wilhelm scream

[@Manofpeasable]

This reminds me, I have to get my washing machine repaired.

[@ManofWater]

😂

[@SAKISFASOULADAS]

wat yior naeme.

[@FullUhFools]

8:08 “Weee!!!!! Ouch that was sand.”

[@anwarmario1125]

3:28 is the best !!!!!!

[@Travel_Cebu222]

Was it you?

[@HoStevie]

*Yewwww same day edit! And that thumbnail oh my gawd*

[@umas3103]

the wedge has some crazy shit, the wave can be 6ft and jack up to 25

[@ianhopp]

I was watching the wedge to see if I wanted to go, and when i saw the waves i was just like, Fuck this shit I'm going to do nothing all day

[@ManofWater]

hahaha yeah when the backwash is pumping it gets pretty gnarly

[@benshipp1814]

I actually get so happy when you post these raw footage vids they're so entertaining

[@reyvaldo2967]

Incirdible men i what your is how mind

[@djizzah]

did that guy recite the whole lord of the rings trilogy?

[@theveganoptimist2723]

Beautiful footage! We live in such a magical place. Thanx for sharing. 😎

[@ManofWater]

thank you ! glad i could share

[@rhayrtassio6367]

tem brasileiro por ai

[@markfitzgerald5031]

This place is called Earth....it's majestic.

[@gamestelo]

tem não

[@currentteeth4078]

The Vegan Optimist until we destroy it

[@Manofpeasable]

This looks like reasonably unhealthy surfing. Fun, but I remember body surfing near here and being 6 feet up in a wave and seeing nothing but a floor of sand in front of me. Almost broke my back and walked in with 2 pounds of sand in my shorts. Life is good!

[@ManofWater]

yeah man definitely a penalty to pay if you end up in the wrong spot lol

[@tiegogarcia5231]

Who brings a carbon wrapped board to the wedge? I saw like 2-3 out there

[@asfnobambu]

It is too shallow !!! This should be forbidden... One can easily break the neck there.

[@theAussie01]

I broke my neck surfing in head high surf.......your right.....this is very dangerous.

[@mauloathompson7643]

Thomas Soares thats if you go over the falls

[@rahkinrah1963]

+Thomas-been there, been crushed, lucky with a broken nose...

[@lip171]

Surfing heavy shorebreak is an art. Believe it or not but there's a skill involved on how to wipe out correctly, to avoid breaking any necks/backs but it does take some time to perfect.

[@ficokr1673]

Roman how do you learn it then without breaking your neck

[@mannabelle9001]

my favorite part was probably the dog

[@joeblackman100]

Great bit of footage to wake up to while I'm on holiday!

[@ManofWater]

legit man ! more on the way

[@metr0labs]

9:05 The Jimmy Legs

[@jimmypham8853]

So funny

[@randydewees7338]

The place that spawns fifty made up "I body surfed at the Wedge in the day" for every one that actually did. Worse than "I was at Woodstock!".

[@benliebermann5001]

1:02 is the sick thumbnail shot Great filming

[@ManofWater]

thanks man

[@MoustacheCloud]

Such a beautiful thumbnail.

[@Ell198679]

Are the bigger waves further out more chill since they aren't shore break. I almost felt safer with the larger waves at the wedge. But iono.

[@Tdub0911]

In Seattle now, but quit this place 30 years ago. Winter swell, went bodysurfing, dropped in late, fell off the top and all the water was gone. Crunch, crunch, crunch, all the vertibrae in my neck cracked as I hit face first in the sand.

[@gabsurfff]

that guy at 4:50 saw his whole life in front of his eyes

[@CousinsDoStuff]

so true

[@sheldonamante9498]

Lotta barrels but the wedge is uh fucking ugly wave.

[@ph0kused]

BEAST MODE! sick up mike! 1000k steps tomorrow

[@joachimbessert5011]

Bodyboarder are better than surfer in this video xD

[@RichArtLove]

The Wedge is a BODY SURFING BREAK. Please take the silly ego trip with the hard boards elsewhere, like any one of hundreds of actual surf spots along the coast where there are no body surfers. If you want awesome barrels Newport Point is just up the road (you drove past it on the way to the Wedge.)

[@ManofWater]

says the guy hiding behind a fake profile

[@dimebag32080]

Definitely a couple of sick ones out there boys...

[@hoopgal3216]

These guys are nuts! We have nothing like this in Florida. That wave is crazy! Thanks for filming and posting - I am a subscriber and I love watching all your videos!

[@ManofWater]

thank you appreciate it !

[@isaiahnunez4224]

I think that only happens one boats come

[@bodhipov8018]

Why can’t Australia have surf like that

[@rogersocalbeaches5734]

They should bring back the trifecta series and to hold an event here. The Wedge, Sandspit, and some other sketchy place in So Cal. Maybe get some CT riders out in these conditions and see what happens. Even if you hate the idea you would still watch it.

[@tiegogarcia5231]

They should do seal beach when the swell hits as well

[@rogersocalbeaches5734]

Yes, Seal Beach, excellent idea. That would be perfect. Some mutant surf trifecta event series. More people watch these videos than just about any where and alot of these guys should be getting paid for this shit. Like when Redbull had JOB down there that was cool. Its funny that you suggested Seal Beach because the week JOB was in town for the Redbull thing, didnt the Seal Beach pier burn down? I think he was actually in Seal beach too that day doing some jetski stunts for Redbull or something. They never said what caused that fire. Hmm. Any way, who wouldnt want to see what the top guys at these three spots in particular. Id like to see what would come out of something like that.

[@ManofWater]

that would be sick, and yeah the pier burned down must have been about March or February

[@rorysurf]

clark little around 19min

[@malaihiboi]

Damn, some good size bombs you guys got. I wish our South swells got this big... Nice one.

[@conorsheridan2998]

I can't believe u were in these waves. They look so much smaller on gopro

[@edisantos7]

damn.. your videos are crazy mike. That spot has such a crazy wave omg.

[@lucianodavid1331]

Go in the water Mike!

[@channela-s-m-r8951]

Diamante Cosenza Italy equal

[@Vyclops]

0:16 when you see that thing crash onto shore

[@dannyhuffman3587]

I was watching the cam this morning and I saw 1:44 😂😂

[@quasarkneepro7758]

Danny Huffman so....

[@jogadorsoquenao1955]

Ola

[@michaelrch]

The take off at 0:50 is unbelievable! The drop is 20ft straight down from the lip to the base and he doesn’t nose dive. No idea how he pulls it off! And then the wave rears up like a mountain behind him at 0:56 as he rides away. Awesome 😎

[@lewispriest1946]

Cannot wait to see more seal beach vids like this👍

[@ManofWater]

had my eye on it for passed couple weeks, looks like wedge may still have a month left of break or so

[@brenolineu3468]

MANO GOSTO MUITO DE VIDEOS ASSIM

[@wraeclastjanitor8849]

5:44 wow that thing is just towering! Amazing wave

[@MsBuBBLesvA]

omg how big are these waves

[@ManofWater]

about 12-15ft if i recall

[@hattiegt_]

I HAD THE WORST DREAM EVER ok so basically a like 500000 feet long wave came and I just ducked IN THE SAND

[@dojahman]

He was just like totally like yeah like dude like woah

[@brotherpine7867]

Where is the footage of you riding? You got some sick ones!

[@ManofWater]

thanks brotha !

[@domino2278]

thx for posting.. awesome

[@CameronC.]

3:47 was that the same dude who nosedived in the begging? lmaooooo

[@hatboy8458]

[@APSurfs]

[@archiezeidler4557]

[@conorsheridan2998]

Archie Zeidler he did

[@midorigurin2612]

I like Big waves at the beach Walton also has big waves 🌊

[@LucasRodrigues-dl9vy]

I'm from Brazil, I really like your work, congratulations

[@ManofWater]

thank you Lucas !

[@jnsano]

Hmmm, boogie board or shortboard, or body surf it.....choices, choices.

[@coopernicholas1234]

Hey mike loving the big swell videos lately. Quick question I follow your Instagram and I see you post videos on there from your computer, how do you do it. Thanks bud

[@ManofWater]

for sure man thank you, i take my mp4 file and upload it to dropbox, then on the dropbox app download it to my phone, then use a program called square ready video and its ready to upload

[@kyleteeter7589]

I don't understand the appeal of the wedge. It's a big closeout. You drop in, and get smashed, and can't make it out of any barrels. It's a pretty shitty wave. I don't get why so many guys like it.

[@j5555785]

hell yeah 8:04!

[@jenniejansen5727]

🙀🙀🙀🙀🙀

[@paulocesardauxfilho2755]

Mike, I´ve been watching your clips for almost two years. Thank you so much for your time shooting these clips and sharing with us. Greetings from Brazil!

[@ManofWater]

[@markkelly1775]

[@SergioPerez-md2vv]

Don,t scsred the wales😏😏😏😏😏😏😏😏😏😏😏

[@evanschaben]

Most hair raising 4 seconds in surfing

[@silvertonedavis8196]

crushed 3 vertabre their 1973

[@follys.midwestrugbyunion2523]

close outs dont seem worth riding

[@RaptorWRLD]

did they ever find and kill the shark that killed that surfer?

[@ManofWater]

to my knowledge no

[@DrAtmo]

I better ride my bike and get some speed.

[@iyaddidou3500]

[@thelastrebelshow1627]

The back wash actually softens the blow of the wave on the inside. Not always but sometimes. A short ride but the sections are awesome!

[@corvus6865]

Watched this while taking a shit

[@l1lo507]

Wow awesome vid 😳✌🏽

[@nickford2350]

Looks rubbish closing out

[@OM3N1R]

Awesome as always. Is all that clicking you changing aperture or shutter speed?

[@ManofWater]

thanks man, thats the shutter, usually keep the f stop around f9 with the blaring sun, and use the shutter to change exposure ranges between 1k-4k shutter

[@White80Y123]

clips at 12:23 and 14:18, are sick

[@chunkyfather29]

Those waves are too short to surf.

[@surfdogdude]

SO 100% NOT FUN! Give me a perfect right point over this trash!

[@rozanarostam2100]

Wow its like a tsunami!

[@WheresJeanninePacifica]

at 3:36 a dog gets a sand barrel

[@reecemorgan1980]

Love your work bro keep it coming

[@ManofWater]

thanks Reece !

[@johnmcculloch5736]
