Spots that are good for Skimboarding waves are often good for Bodyboarding as well so confrontations and collisions are somewhat common between these two groups
I like the part where boogie board guys are supposed to somehow know a skim board guy is going to come flying off of the shore onto the wave he's already riding and then give him said wave
Watching people get drowned by the waves gives me PTSD flashback from the amount of times I've almost suffocated from being toppled by a wave. And yet, I still put myself through that because it's fun.
Yup we get people that are well known and respected in each area. So normally they get first chance at a nice wave and the other people stay out the way
@@armd_ndngruss2287 problemo is how do you define that? It’s stupid. Shouldn’t matter who’s who. First up or closest to peak is the most fair/consistent way. Your locals only or popularity contest thing is garbage.
I was born in Hoag Memorial Hospital and The Dirty Wedge was my stomping grounds as a Newport grommit. Great footage thisismov and the struggle is real.
New Zealand is a gift indeed, but don't discount how legendary the Wedge is. Despite the captured conflicts in this one video are: the Wedge crew are a really cool example of how different forms of waveriding get along together. Visit the Wedge some day. You won't regret it.
In Australia no Way a guy running out from the beach would try and ride a wave someone has paddled for . They would get the dropped in on every time. Doesn't mean shit how long u waited on the beach for. Its called a line up . I guess the bodyboarders get the waves when the waves are good. Maybe they should make a water park for the skimboarders.It would suit them better i think and they would stop being a hazard for all water men.
@@gattabat yeah right. You can tell you know nothing about everything. Yeah mate when its massive u see pretty much 0 skimers. Boogers charge big barrels. Yeah mate good talk great words.
This has been going on for 30 years or better. The skimboarders are alot better now, and there's to many. They can catch every wave of the set. You want a wave, you have to drop in on someone.
At 1:17, regardless of what happened before, I would have blindsided that jerk for assaulting the old man. People love picking on week people. Drives me nuts
How is it picking on him? You can't just rule out what happened before the fight. Little guy could've been doin sketchy douchey shyt to him or something. No one looks that pissed for no reason so let's not johnny jump to conclusions here.
@@garrywhite13371337 nah bro, a lot of dudes get pissed like that for really silly things.. I had a fella in Australia who threatened me and said the worse things you can imagine just because "I was on his way on a wave", and he clearly said "going left" so I went right, but somehow he figured he could change direction and he did, but I was already there...
Looks like the wedge can also be known as snake city..though hard to tell who's snaking who. Seemed like more bodyboarders getting cut to me. Like the rivalry between skaters and scooter kids and as congested as the freeway. There really are good waves elsewhere without that drama.
They are still "learning". Not about skim boarding or bodyboarding but just on how to share with others without constantly "flexing muscles or intellect" to overwhelm the weaker others until the day you meet the inferior ones and you bowed your head and be humble again.
This lady in hawaii full speed hit me face to face with her body board I almost got knocked out. Because she was riding a wave and the wave collapsed on me and then when i was trying to breach the water my board hit me square on the head. She said “sorry” I was 14....
@@bry8636 wut? think you missed the point... any body getting beefy over splashing around in the kiddie pool is not hard.. they are a kooky manchild.. getting saucy over closeouts.. pathetic..
There is no more etiquette anymore. When someone has the right of way bail. When I surfed in the 90’s that’s what we did. Now I live in Utah and ski the winters. 🤙
Crowded spots are never fun, I hate cutting people off without realising and getting cut off myself 50% of the time people lose their shit...bro I'm not out here to ruin your day there's too many of us and not everyone is even catching the wave
Im from LaMirada CA. This was something that we would not attempt. 3-5 all day everyday. But this hell no. And these dudes could fight. Surfers in general. Living 17 miles from beach and taking the bus....it was boogie boards only on the bus. No surfboards. So technically I'm not and never was a surfer. But I was at the beach 60-70 days out of our long as summers out of school back then about 90days. Love for it all. Maybe ill surf one day. I here there is a nice wave pool in Houston about 20 mins away.......
I use to skimboard and surf. I don’t really understand the skimboarders using the boards to surf. They’re meant more for the shore, or at least starting there. You can see this is true because they have to pump the board until the wave is big enough. Otherwise, they sink.
I prefer bodyboarding. Feels more like I'm communing with the ocean, not challenging it and defying the inevitable. And I'll never understand how you top-heavy boys, of all people, prefer surfing; what good does all that power in your shoulders do you out there? 😖
Here in Argentina there are no skimboarders, but yes a Lot of bodyboarders and surfers . I am a bodyboarder , but i have many surfers Friends , and ride together. And , yes , sometimes the things go bad. When a bodyboarder fight with a longboard or funboard is terrible. Sorry My poor English
The Wedge: Legendary wave, Not worth the stress for me. It’s a dangerous enough wave without worrying about everyone else. I’m just glad that I don’t have to deal with the SoCal crowds. That shit looks stressful lol. I love watching talented skimmers, but I can’t imagine having to figure out who has priority in heavy shore break with multiple people coming at the same wave from different angles. I’ll let the skimmers and the bodyboarders battle it out. I’m not trying to snap my board or worse…..my neck

This video makes me love New Zealand even more. Miles and miles of beaches and not a soul in sight. All the surf you could ever dream of.
New Zealand is a gift indeed, but don't discount how legendary the Wedge is.

I suppose the body borders are on the wave first?
Cali at its finest thank god I live in HI
Me too at least here we have some sort of line up, I’ve been to Cali to body lard once and it was just utter chaos.
Where is this beach?
As fun as Wedge has always looked, its super crowded & fights just waiting to happen
It’s also just so dangerous on some days, waves come from everywhere you’re bound to get slammed on the sand at least once.
At least there was a couple harmonious exchanges 😂
definitely a secret spot
So damn glad my local is uncrowded.
2:02 is my favorite part
Newport Beach zoning needs to put a huge sign out in front of the wedge that says NO KOOKS ALLOWED!
2:02 wholesome
Legend has it, bodyboarders always survive.
Ya gotta love those cranky surfers. They never seem to be happy even when they get a great wave.
this is one hell of a party wave :)
Lol looks like a merging lanes during freeway peak hour, absolute toys everywhere on both sides of “the fence”
With the old dude would’ve clocked the tall kook looking for a fight
In Australia we just burley up the water and turn the surf spot into a fishing spot
It's called wave rage, instead of road rage. Don't drop in and make me upset, my lane. When traffic on waves like that - later day.
Excellent footage.
This is like that south park episode with the scooter people running into everything.
In a line up that heavy, respect is gone and it becomes an F-U session.
Wow! I haven't seen a fight on the beach since the 80s!
We need a part two with a kayaker
They are still "learning". Not about skim boarding or bodyboarding but just on how to share with others without constantly "flexing muscles or intellect" to overwhelm the weaker others until the day you meet the inferior ones and you bowed your head and be humble again.
Is there more to the wedge or are their other breaks
These skimboarders are like kids with scooters at a skatepark
Share the ocean bro!! plenty of waves for everyone to have fun keep the peace!!

There is no more etiquette anymore. When someone has the right of way bail. When I surfed in the 90’s that’s what we did. Now I live in Utah and ski the winters. 🤙
Utah is sick
I see a bunch of skimboarders who think they own the ocean and antagonize body boarders like a bunch of teenagers
This should be a sport
It’s Wedge....everyone snakes everyone on that wave. It’s accepted.
What beach is this?
Its not their board, its being American.
I’m surprised no one took a board straight to the face at any point in this
Meanwhile, seagulls be like, "ALL you all get out of our fishing spot!"
Damn. I feel like bodyboarders just love getting thrashed on the rim drop. It's like a 1/2% make for these dudes and they take 6 ft drops willingly.

What's with all the dropping in on each other? Has basic surf etiquette left your local beach?
We lived on Miramar, 1974-78, and we bodysurfed exclusively. In the 70s, no one ever surfed big Wedge. Now it looks like a zoo.
If you are first on the wave it is yours, normally surfers and bodyboarders
