I grew up body surfing, boogie boarding and surfing the wedge.
I have never seen ANYONE back door a wave like that at the wedge! That was legendary Koa!! SICK!!!
Blew my mind!! 🤯
I went there in the winter of 97. I saw many people backdoor waves similar to this multiple times. Nonetheless it was a fantastic wave.
Same here
winter? It only breaks on a south
people have been backdooring from the side wave like that forever...
Winter of any year including ’97 was flat. I think they have been backdooring Wedge since time began. Some of these comments are hilarious 😂.
As an Old Timer that surfed the Wedge on a long board back in the 60’s this brought back a lot of thrill memories. Gnarley then, gnarley now. Thanks Koa!
Small day at the wedge. No XXL HERE.
Like Bruce Brown says... "You should have been here. " ...
Mahalo to you and glad you enjoyed one of our fun spots ! Ventura county here!
Great Vlog really captured the nutty vibe of The Wedge 🤙🏼🦘ps some great touches with the audio effects
50 years as a Hawaii surfer, and I would call the big ones 6-8 ' Hawaiian scale.
Yesssss!
50 years as a surfer and I call them overhead
... well overhead.
Post skate content
Why?
Skate post content.
@@raff23able😂😂😂😂😂😂
And rap
16’ peaks
We aint riding the back..... dang last time I was there was 90. Man bad ass camera to see dude gets sucked over the fall from above.
Sandy cracks.. the OC has always been all about that bizz😮😂
That was so much fun Koa!
Yewwww!! 🤙🌊🙏Nice one!
Great to see yew guys 🤙 that barrel was so sick🙌
That was soooo fun!!!!!
nice production values, really showing the stuff that makes this wave attractive , and famous for broken collar bones among body surfers, because there is no side wave for them . The inclusion of the young man was a genius move, as some spectators might not realize overcoming fear is part of the attraction, knowing that making every wave is an impossibility that has to be accepted.
10:22 I’d probably call the 12ft in my book. Estimating you are 6ft and it’s about double overhead. Absolutely sick wave. You should come down to SD sometime and surf seaside with the groms! Would be sick to see you shred here 🤙
I too rode the wedge in the late 60 and 70s before Danny quok on my 6'4 small face surfboard / frog house TK &Bruce owners
That is FREAKING AWESOME and it’s Lit🔥🔥. I laughed so much 😂!! That wave is insane and lots of wipeouts!!😆. Amazing video - well done!! I loved it.
I love when Hawaiians hit wedge. You guys kill it. 🤙
First time seeing your stuff. Really fun...editing and music are amazing. New sub today. You've got mad skills carving up that washing machine.
Thanks for the sub!!! Enjoy the journey!!
That was fun to watch!
Thank you Koa, it is a great surfing video!
Thank you too!
I've body-surfed the Wedge many times. The Wedge is a freakish wave for sure. Koa welcome to CA!
Great surfing and editing. Stoked in Florida.
Stoked you're getting what we call "Bounce" waves they then become true Wedge waves. Best of luck in all your future endeavors🤙🏼Uncle Bobby
Really great vid. Anyone know the rock band ripping throughout?
Good editing on this 👍
excellent content as always ❣
Nice video!!!!
its dirty its old and wedgey
Did you hire Jamie’s editor? 😂
Insane vid , absolutely love the channel keep up the good work dude !!
Thank you bru!!!!!
Can’t wait to get one of his boards I will be the first one
Coming soooo sooo sooo sooon!
We have always measured waves from the back as well, making a 4 - 5 ft wave have an 8 - 10 ft face, even in South Africa where we use the metric system. Probably an influence from the old surf mags back in the day
Ripped it Koa; peace from a 70's wedgie !
You ripped it brother, oh yeah super fun video 🎉actually for real I'm part of the old wedge crew Ron,Greg Terry late 70z still the same crazy anyway respect 🙏 Koa
Hell yeah thanks for watching bru!!
Love seeing the beach angle directly after the go pro angle
Ripping on your bioogie-board bro is always fun. It's all love.\m/
Sand was just about perfect
So funny video .. great californian spot ..
I'm not from Hawaii, grew up and learned to surf in California, however, my friends and I always measured waves from the back, or to put it another way, from the swell size. Sometimes we would explain to people who weren't surfers that a 6ft wave could have a 10 ft face depending on where it was breaking. So, I actually think we were using the same scale that Hawaiians use, which I have always thought was weird when people talk of the "Hawaiian Scale." You estimated that it was about 8 feet on the Hawaiian scale and I would say that the larger waves in the video looked about 6 feet to me, but the Wedge does really jack the size up.
Trav surely getting some flipper rubs right there.
Florida scale that’s tow in conditions.
The f in wedge. Its the same wave i saw and tried to ride 48 years ago... when nobody would think of taking a stand up surfboard out. The beat down is too much. Once was enough. So much respect for you gladiators. The crowd watching seems to be smaller than back then.... and way more cameras. Still it is quite the show
Amazing video! It's so great that you share your love for the ocean. Surfing is such an amazing water activity and it's lovely to see you enjoy it, keep going with these great videos. If it doesn't bother you, I'd like to give you a suggestion, a tip for the next videos: Basically, you could try inserting some comic and funny stuff... to give everyone a pinch of humor that, in the world of surf, can never be missing. Now, I don't think much of it, but the first thing I could think of in your sport might be peeing in the water. Once, my uncle, who is a scuba diver, peed in his wetsuit during a long diving session and that moment was absolutely funny, he even wrote "I’m peeing" on a waterproof notebook during the session. He has always been telling me that there are 2 types of divers and swimmers: those who pee in the water and those who lie. I know it may sound strange as a request but, in my opinion, these are moments of happiness and carefree that always make everyone smile, that's why it'd be hilarious if you included lots of moments like this, if you and your surfing mates want of course. I hope you like the idea and I hope you have a wonderful day!
We used to do Zodiac tow ins back early to mid 80s as surfing banned could chip a few duck around corner loved surfing there
The wedge was there long before any of these guys. Just saying these young guys kinda talk like they’re the first to be out there.
keep up the great work 🙌🙌🙌
That board looks weird but rides great ... Awesome vid mahalo
measure waves from the front, the part we surf on. shakaaaaaa
12:13 was sensational:) :)
Loving the clips! This was such a vibe!
Just subscribed. AWESOME channel.
Triple over head
6/7 foot Hawaiian?
Been surfing/bodyboading this place for 30 years and it’s the sloppiest wave I’ve ever ridden. We just don’t get massive waves in SoCal so this place stands out.
Good times seeing you and trav again!
Helll yeah that was epic!!!
hectic vid🙃 you actually got some great ones
Around 2 to 2.5 meters which is 6 to 8 feet more or less. Perhaps some on 3m around which is your 9 feet. Impressive for a beach break anyways. Only Puerto Escondido holds that much size on that type of breaks (although they are extremely different types of wave)
Was the girl at the end tryna snorkel 🤿?
You have all that great info in the credits, BUT NOT WHO IS PLAYING THE MUSIC! Please, tell us.
California scale is more accurate. Hawaiian scale doesn't account correctly for volume and face that is actually surfable. You can get a massively thick wave where the whole ocean rolls in like Teahupo'o and it looks 2' on the outside, but it's 15' on the inside. Face counts, the back really doesn't give an accurate measure or surfable waves.
new subbie 😁
I’m not sure of the year , maybe 74 when I lost half my scalp and it was xxxl .
Correct me if I’m wrong, I can’t remember anything .
Skimming the Wedge is like Skating a Santa Monica Parking Garage close Out Funn Yet Not predictable
Sand under the eyelids and in the nose. Makapuu/Sandy Beach regular back in the '70s.
I'm from south America Colombia to be specific and I'd say those are 3 meters but I live in Florida now so by Florida scale this is 12 foot faces
On the peak.. probably a solid 6-7 ft on the bombs, maybe bigger... West Oz scale
I say solid 6to8 ya 🔥🔥🔥🤙🤙🤙
Looks like just a regular-size day on a small swell. Waves weren't breaking outside.
it is great see u survive the head injury and the micro doses seems to have complete your injury and u u stronger stay strong bro
this is 100 percent not xxl wedge where were you on 1982... where were you when there were poles...
Yo, judging waves based on power level would be just as sick as height sometimes.
bro i called that little grom a girl to his mom one time because he had longer hair and was wearing an all-pink suit lol. She didn't correct me so it was hilarious to me when I found found it was a boy a few years later.
Only noobs like Jamie O surf the Wedge, grom.
:P Mahalo.
Keiki SO much cooler wave!
Thanks for the ride Koa !!
Great video.
Why so many surfers without leashes? Seems like the rouge boards would be a problem, no?
What board and model were you ridding Koa ,,awesome surfing
Its Perfect Body Surfing Wave, Surfing it ?? Try a Body Surf Sesh. Great Video, Thanks!!
I ve a question please
Why aren't you using leashes on the boards ? even the bodyboarders ?
Great video. The Wedge was on.
25 ft floridian🏆🏆🏆🤙🏽🤙🏽
They are big waves but the scariest part about it is how gnarly and heavy the wave itself is😬

is it scary when you get launched like 10 feet above the water??
i was there bro...i paddled out, got wrecked, then got out😂
So rad, you make it look way too easy brother
Does koa respond? Sick vid mate, living the lifestyle we east coast surfers wish we could have!

thanks koa what a nice and fun video!
Everyone looks like they are in a blender. I would be so sore.
Excellent video!
Big wedge always looks like a mix between pipe and waimea to me
BURKO and Team Sunrise Shack! Yeah boys! 🤙
Koa try to go up backside straight up at the lip from the bottom and as you air out straight or to the right a little bit, use your left hand as you put your head up towards the sky and grabbing between your legs and that would be your tow edge and then your right hand will go up and follow your head and you should do a Mctwist.
I used to do them on ❤my Skim board and I could do them on my snowboard. It’s a snowboard trick. I’m sure you know that.
Great drone work, props to your drone pilot.
Oh Hi KO This Is My Son's&MyRandomCell😊😊😊~YeeeaaahhhGnnnarly🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉It'SMeAnnie🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙😁😁😁💦🌊💨🏄♂️👌👌👌
Then Conklin said "hold my beer"
So sick. There is no good wedge pov footage.
Hey where do you go to the bathroom at the wedge?
Fun times.
