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!!
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?
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,,,,,
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!
@@mamacitadelosperros533 I was there in 1951, before the crowds started coming in like your crew. Plenty of boards, Hard to miss unless you're blind. I girl we knew named Cassie and her friends bodysurfed there for years, you definitely weren't the first.
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 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
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. 🤙😀
The biggest wave here didn't get over 10-foot. Where do you see 20 to 25? I surfed the Wedge 50% bigger this in 1996 on the biggest swell southern cal had in 50 years and it didn't get over 14-foot.
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.
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.
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.
NICE SIZE, 15 FT, NOT MUCH SHAPE. I USED TO BODYSURF AT THE WEDGE IN THE MID-1960s TO THE 1990s. IT CAN GET VERY NICE SHAPE SOME DAYS, MANY TIMES ON SMALLER DAYS, 4 TO 8 FT.
Nice video, but the music makes me feel like I'm watching a Bowflex infomercial.
I have never seen the Wedge like this before but the music kills it horribly.
Cue the music! Oooooh yeeeeah...get totally ripped with the Bowflex. *manly voice
Shake Weight
That song lasted so long, thought I was trippin for a sec
That’s definitely a acid track
I’m going to be humming this in my head for the rest of the day , fuck
What happened to all the bodysurfing?
Good job getting that footage, looks tough with all the people and the waves splashing over the hump..
Love the waves 🌊 beautiful view 🙌😁
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!!
*Do yourself a favor; After one minute, hit mute......OMG the relief!*
Hahaha
where can i get a copy of this music?? i heard this on a all male porno movie
Bruh thats only like 4 feet I would know I’m from hawaii
Bruh
dude that is way bigger than 4 feet i can tell you that
Epic video on all counts!!
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!
Finally, some 20 foot waves, it only took 5 videos ;-)
This is 6-8 feet. I don’t know where all this 20 foot plus is coming from
@@ikaikasai9022 what’re you talking about? Some of these waves are at least triple overhead
2017 and I'm just watching it.......but still amazing, the Little Nazare!!
Should play Rag Doll a couple times
bailing at 4:00 because the music.
I made it to 2:52. Arguably the worst soundtrack ever.
Music sound's like Gary Hoey? Nice video.
9:12 super jump!!
Loved the music!
The swell was soooo SSE it's amazing how big and how much got in there,
The Point was all time, but pumps on that angle normally....
When the surf is going over the jetty you know it's dangerous.
Why not the sound of the ocean?
Dudes I have nightmares of the surf looking like this
Essa onda é imperfeita! Merda de onda quebradeira.
9:13 Superman is flying! 😲

JESUS CHRIST look at those waves!!!
See it breaking in the channel. Looks huge in the Harbor even

9:14 About as much air as I've seen anyone get there.

Jim Paull yep, hearing the thump while you suit up by your car was fucking one of the best feelings of my life.... so exciting and scary
15:24 .....OUCH!
Moronic muzak..thankful for mute option
Great footage though

You weren't the first female
Also there were boards, why are you lying?
@@Michael-cs3li Really? Who was? I started bodysurfing with my brother there in about 1959.
@@Michael-cs3li Nobody was board surfing there in 1959. Were you there?

Dude-do-dee-do-do-dont.
70,s free ride music,only thing missing is David Stanfieid narrating and 15 minutes less tea bagging footage .
Soundtrack available on i-kooks.
Must be as many fish in the water as surfers- look at all the seagulls!
Clean up close out comin through!
😱🙈🙀
Waves look chaotic
Is this the new metallica song?
One thing i remember about THE Wedge, were the whirl pools. You gotta catch the wave because of that. Gravels was safer...
I like the video very much, but did u need to ruin it by playing the same song over and over for 16 minutes?
That wave at the 2 min mark was perfect to drop into yet all these posers just let it go.
80s music and huge waves=SERIOUS INJURY😆

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

Lots of seagulls picking on the carnage and scrapps
Ahh but for the occasional intrepid sponge rider,
Mostly unridden. But the paddle out at the wrong time makes everyone a winner who got out.
Awesome photography. Would rather hear the ocean than guitar..

15:08 Imagine you have to duck that. Also, when the wave carries boards you know it's serious.
Lol nah it’s cuz people don’t wear leashes
anybody think to ask the maker of this video if this is HIS OWN music?
I have seen a wave so big it broke all of the way across the channel. As I watched I though that wave was ridable. Frontslider.
I'm guessing the title to this song in the video is "As Corny As It Gets"

u from stupid town?
The music is very good , who plays ??
Need to zoom in more too much looks like I'm standing on the beach.
Epic day , but choose you waves carefully...
Such an angry fucking wave, was out on big Wednesday back in the day with Stewart and Slater and it was a fucking god damn monster......
Damn killer song! What is it?

Oh I remember this
Try the 2nd movement of Beethoven's 9th symphony. A much better vibe.
Still waiting to see anything near "20-25 feet".....
What big eyes you have 20/25 ft!!!!!
Power Power POWER 🌊🏄🌊🏄👍👍👍👍

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

Ah the wedge nothing but a closeout.
01/01/78 twice this big. The only way in is to paddle around the channel. No boats out for the whole day. To big...
so thats like 11-15 ft hawaiian
Now THAT is BIG Wedge.
I saw another that stated " biggest wedge ever" .....bs
No . This is !
Why do most people that put music in their videos have the worst taste in music?
Definitely poor choice in music, cant even stand to watch the whole video. I appreciate the footage though
Music is seriously bad.. otherwise great vid.
Love the Spinal Tap soundtrack
Yea, I was hoping for the sound of the surf. Not your garage band.
NICE SIZE, 15 FT, NOT MUCH SHAPE. I USED TO BODYSURF AT THE WEDGE IN THE MID-1960s TO THE 1990s. IT CAN GET VERY NICE SHAPE SOME DAYS, MANY TIMES ON SMALLER DAYS, 4 TO 8 FT.
LoL so laugh the same. New Port Ca wedge. Go safe but ride hard!.....or get covered an slammed lol..
Sounds like Twisted Metal PS 2 😂😂😂
One of the all time greats..
1980 music or what!! Lame..but good footage
Those waves are at least 80ft !!! If your gonna use serious exaggerations and a few lies to get the likes, at least make it really unrealistic!!!
Hurricane Marie swell
20-25 feet my ass!! More like 6-8 feet Hawaiian scale.
Drop D metal nice
Big Wedgies, my brother used to give me wedgies, but nothing like this!
Looks only 8 to 10 feet to me😄😄😄
NUKING!!!!!!
Im waiting for the 25 foot waves🤔
How many died that day 😁
Rad!... HOME SICK....
Sean Flipflop Watching the Wedge reminds you of Jersey?
This ain’t 20-25 feet
Hii
Could have picked way better music, but thanks for not playing Rap though.
Wow 16:46 of that music felt like hours
25 foot jesus calm down its half that

More like 8-12ft at most.. agree with others music is pretty bad
rob newman talking about the face face ya tard. 8 to 12 Hawaiian.

Complete with 80's porno music
