I been to the Wedge only three times in my life. I love this break and it's always been my favorite. It's breaks so close so all ur dang energy isn't wasted paddling out. I haven't been in over 20 years and this video brought back some sweet memories. Thank you for this video!
glad i could share !
Glad you like it....will do it some more, yeah?....
I spent a day at Hookipa with a six pack just sitting and watching once. It was a great day.
Wish I grew up somewhere with surf but it was the mountains on a snowboard for us. This raw footage reminds me of that.
Thanks!
Really liking these videos man! No bullshit just sweet footage!
thanks brotha appreciate it !
yeah, no music just the sound of surfing. Great footage Mike.
...foot long....really liking it....just cop it sweet, yeah?.....
dude the skim boarders are killing it.
Yeah....they Love it there....
Justin Sugarman hell ya they are !
Justin Sugarman @10:15 lol
Not a surfer, but this so relaxing to watch; it's like meditation.
it has the opposite effect on a surfer haha
Yeah...the opposite side seems to be very effective....cheers...
the wedge is good for helping you to learn how to get pounded and not get hurt
You wouldn't want to go there to learn about surf etiquette.
Idk man look at 0:50. That kook on the yellow board doing some kooky shit
I surfed the wedge back in the 70's! It was and still is a radical short break! Glad I did it but being from Carlsbad, there was much better surfing to the south of the Wedge!
Sean O'Brieon because it is so close to shore, after you get pounded your already standing up on shore with your nose way above the waterline
The very skilled and well practiced neck trauma staff at Hoag Hospital would disagree with you.
6:00 was ridiculous....
That was awesome
sicker than the flu
yew !
Unrealll!
True!
These videos that you make are awesome. The Wedge is such a great place for spectators because the waves are close to shore; and they come in just one after another, so fast. Also, you see great surfing; and just about every single ride ends with a hilarious wipe out.
no doubt and thank you Bob
WHO: Those that care to! WHAT: Challenge themselves! WHEN: Conditions are right! WHERE: The Newport Wedge! WHY: ???
To experience a wave that can literally throw you out of the water and on to the beach! Again , again, and again.
Santa Cruz surfer that has had the opportunity to experience it 3 times, strangely enough in the 70's, 80's, and 90's.
Thanks! Keep the great video's coming!
Love how the dude @2:33 basically gave up, then got vaporized! lol.
yeah the sound is great .it felt like im there on the beach watching, great videos as always.
Big ups on posting this raw footage with no bs. Killin it
thanks man ! i know a lot of people like hearing and seeing it raw ✊
Doubt a shark can feed in this overhead shore break lol. Damn this is heavy.
nice set there, at the end ... reminded me of the ole days.... thanks for memories.
thanks for Watching Frank !
I've Bodyboarded there on a swell day but I'm the life guard got me out becaus I was too young :(. I've been watching ur vids on another account for about a year. Keep up the good work
thanks man appreciate it !
Crazy how it starts so small and innocent and then just grows into a monster
Cheers....glad ya like it.....
Thats the refraction. Its a completely different wave from the one you see toss over. The surfers and skimboarders catch that little wave, which is the refraction from the wave previous to the big one, and ride that small leftover refraction onto the new big set. And the process repeats. its almost like they are catching a ride onto the wave, its how skimboarders can reach those waves super far out since they can't just slide out there. When the refraction and big wave meets its like the two add their heights to each other.
2:41 that dude just vanishes
Again love it Mike!👌🏻I do like watching the raw cuts but still the edited clip is amazing as always, good job keep up the great work🤘🏻👌🏻✌🏻️👍🏼
Wen a wave comes and picks u up and ur just floating, wen they're at the top and disappear do u fall off the back as high as the wave is and smack the water?
LOL IM IN THE VIDEO AT 5:22 :D Good Job
Great video! You need to make a wedge video with all the best clips youve gotten and put it in slo mo.
i have 1 version of the if you type in "still life mike lucas" its just one weekend but is a good idea to do all the vids in one at some point 👍
Any more footage from yesterday? Also today was super sick
I remember the first time I was at the wedge. I only live like 20 min away. I wasnt able to get under a wave and i was laid out hard. Man I still have flashbacks of the massive wave looming over me
funny i still have a memory of my first duck dive through one of those slabs too must have been around 14 or so
spent a lot of time at the wedge in the 90s. I now live in wisconsin. I've tried to explain to people what it's like. They don't get it. They think I must have been weak or something. It isn't easy staring down an 8ft + wave with less than a foot of water to get through it. I've been slammed pretty hard more than a few times there. But damn.....good times. All my family still lives in california. I'd love to move back but can't take all the traffic, cost of living, surrounded by homelessness and all kinds of other crazy shit.
10:00 was insane
What causes these huge waves at the Wedge? Something to do with the pier funneling and focusing the swells and the energy of the sea into one tight area?
yes ^^^ on south swells it lines up with the jetty bounces off and jacks up in height and thickness, a mutant
South/southwest
How strong is the current?
Love your Wedge videos man! 🤘
Love the vids💕😍 I hate when the surfers come out in shore break... I have a huge fear of someone's board knocking me out under water.
how do we see the footage of the cameraman that are filming in the water???
no idea , most of them are photographers
Anyone know the name of the photographer in the water?
really nice wedge videos man, congrats from spain
Great vids as always man.
thanks Jason !
do you ever go out on bodyboard on days like this?
yeah sometimes, generally most these days dont look fun to me so i save my energy for hitting up spots after but I've done a couple, i did one on 9/24/16 and 8/27/14, have a couple other days slightly smaller around 10ft in there somewhere
Man of Water "slightly smaller" 10ft shore break 😂😂
good footage Mike always fun to watch!!
thank you Brandon !
what are those boards callef that you run then glide across the water on the wave???
skimboards
I see there's a strip of rocks in the background, were they placed there specifically so the waves would be this good? did some engineer actually design this spot just for the surfers?
I'm unsure if it was purposely built as a wave experiment structure but it sure seems that way
Gnarly, I used to boogie board the wedge just like this. Face plant shore break.
Great vid! What can they do if you go surf when it's closed?
thank you, they will bring out the lifeguard boat if people don't get out and can ticket you i believe
The back wash actually helps to soften the power of the shore break. Without the backwash these waves would be unridable on the inside. It's also why the wave goes from 3 feet to 12 feet all the same wave.The back wash hits the wave and makes it stand up combined with the sand bar underneath. A crazy and awesome wave even though it's a short ride you get incredible sections.
Guy on the Japanese "Rising Sun"-patterned board at 3:05 totally owns it.
Thanks a lot for this video!
thanks for watching my friend !
is it really shallow where it breaks?
Is it daytime when the sun is shining right on you and shite?....
Why'd they close the beach?
Great day at the Wedge, not to big where it's a mess and the side wave is working perfect because of the swell interval!
great day, the rebound is near perfect with some quick head dips
very very great vids as always, from portugal ;))
thank you !
was just at the wedge last week, was about 7-=8 feet, caught a couple barrels road it out smooth , no big deal..
Just curious, are there a lot of injuries at this place? It just seems so dangerous how steep these waves are, the power, and how they break on the beach literally in what looks to be knee deep water. It's just insane...
yeah dude broke his neck last week supposed to recover overtime but usually broken ribs, collarbones and hold downs
How did the dude at 6:00 make it through that section
Puke Bulldozer HOW DID HE NOT DROWN?! I WOULD HAVE DROWNED INSTANTLY!
A the waves really powerful and also does it hurt when you get dumped by the waves
Luke Parmeter yes and it depends on the wave.
Hey Mike, do you like surfing these bigass days?
yeah but id rather find more peeling longer waves at a different spot
Hey man I do camera for a living and I think u look loosen the drag a little so u can have smoother turns on ur camera
Dude, love the raw footage but please just focus on main peak. Cylinders is a cool break but not at the sacrifice of shots of full rides at main peak. Thanks for posting though, keeps me stoked while I'm far from my favorite wave!
where can i get one of those skim boards???
just ordered mine from eastcoastskimboards.com, you can find them on google from manufacturers big brands are exile and victoria
Are there any sharks at the wedge?
never had any attacks at the wedge but on the other side of jetty a lady was attacked 3-4 months ago and almost died, there were 12-15 great whites hanging around orange county before summer time for a couple months, about a mile away a shark was pictured in the light of the wave in shore break 10 ft from shore, was pretty scary about 7 ft one
I love it! These dewds just line right up and get repeatedly crushed by these waves. You all kick ass! :D
3:15 the first time I have seen anyone come out of a barrel at the wedge
Check the Atomic Pile Driver at 16:35.........OUCH!
Do people get slammed on the sand often?
pretty much yeah
Even with a clean takeoff & once you are on the inside, the sheer force of water pushing&pulling on your body,ESPECIALLY your head, is why this break produces so many neck injuries.
these videos are rad!
goto 5:58. Best made barrel of the vid
Nice footage!!!
....hahaha!!....
You think anyone's ever said, "I wanna go surf the wedge?"
When we were young we did... it was one guy in our crowd that said it and everyone else had no choice but to surf it or face a fate worse than death if he paddles out and you don't. I took some legendary beatings, those waves are tailor made for knocking the wind out of you.
Yes.. I almost broke my neck at Cylinders and I've seen someone paralyzed at Waimea. Shorebreak is fun.. but it's hairy!
+Burmese - broken nose here...
Virgin @Wedge '81/ While boogie boarding, I got horrendously flipped (just right) and curled over, face first doing a very brief handstand(those waves can break almost right at the damn beach!) while my legs/feet went right on going. As the wave started to break after its curl, my spine started to curl before its break! I swear I could literally hear(sound transferred through my body to my ears!) what sounded to me like damn near all of my spine's joints f'n popping like giant knuckles! First and last time for that monster! I'd confidently wager the first example of usage surfer lingo "gnarly" was first used to describe The Wedge
JOB
I REALLY like your "raw" footage. It's like checking the surf, what we all really do. So tired of someone's lousy music and editing choices and especially slow motion. Thanks, sub'd!
thanks man appreciate it ! i actually never put up the raw footage until people started asking me too and they became more popular than my edits lol , variety is always nice
Why don't you go out when the waves are like this?
a short ride, fun drop , bottom turn ride barrel 1 or 2 sections then close out pounding
So pitted dude
Short ride, tight fit, turn your bottom round....no worries....
where was the shrak? i dont see it
you ready for shrak week ?
Mike Lucas Media Oh man, i cant wait for da hyperscare blast of shrak week!!
4:34... where did the floor go???? haha
5:58, totally awesome
Wooooa Heavy waves ! good vid :)
I just don't get the draw of this spot. . . a two second barrel before the wave closes out? Doesn't seem very fun.
WoW, monster waves AND Sharks!!! Sounds like fun......
Edward Scott not sure sharks would be in a massive shorebreak anytime soon haha
Brutal. You have to pay for catching that wave.
3:10 that exit tho xD
Barrel at 6:00 is crazy.
I'd LOVE to see the photos that the photographers take inside the water
a lot of them get posted on surflines swell stories pages I've noticed
good stuff brother!
thanks man !
5:58 SICK
Nice.. I wouldn't have gotten in but... nice indeed!
what would they do if you refused to get out of the water and carried on surfing?
I dont think you have to get out bro... here in Australia if a beach is closed its just a suggestion to get out of the water for your own safety. After all if you enter the ocean its at your own risk... It should never be up to the local police to tell you to get out... I would have stayed out it was going off! :D
Aye was wondering because it seemed everyone was bailing as soon as they started hollering....Fuck they would have had to drag me out of there by my ankles.
Yeah man I would not get out! :D
You can get ticketed; I'm not sure for how much. People lots of times end up getting arrested if they get aggro about it. I do envy the Australian culture of "use at your own risk." That's how it used to be in California before we got in invaded by developers and their lawyers and thugs who made it illegal to get hurt, or get naked, or sleep on the beach, or all the cool stuff that made California what it was.
I feel for you bro... :/ Such a pity.
A wave with almost no happy ending...
6:00 legend
come to portugal!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
one day !
cova do vapor is portugal wedge
I'm from norcal and remember coming here as a kid all the time loving getting thrashed around. I recently went, 20 years later and 150 pounds heavier. Where the fuck did my lungs go??!?!?!
why did they evac man?
apparent shark attack.
Thanks for the info man.
yeah first legitimate shark attack in Orange County to my knowledge, usually its just shark sightings and they put up signs at your own risk
Man this place is so awesome man. Great videos. Been watching them for sometime.
appreciate the support brotha !
so sick !
why arent u out there brotha!!
if i do a pov you get generally get about 2-5 waves in a session when filming from shore you capture about 250 clips
yeah its still rad tho ur doin something great !
Anyone else love the surfing barrels
Youre a legend mike
It's fun to go swimming here.
When you aren't being beat up by the waves.
1:41 fahfdhhahhaahahdhahahahahahhah funny
😄👏🏽💪🏽💋🤘🏽🔥😎😜💀💀......!!!......
Taha TD a
I don't have understand why they have evacuated the spot !?
For some reason, "sharks" is not really what I would be worried about in this punchbowl.
bjfdog Ikr?
bjfdog y
you can see in the first minute of the vid ..that any of those waves, if you were to catch / ride them, would just end in total Punishment.. around 0:50 ..both those guys can just be glad they didn't catch that
Yep, very nice, reminds me of the days I was enjoying rough surf - land locked in Ohio now
bummer ! no wave machines out there ? lol
3:25 if you go super slow youll see this guy almost gets destroyed by a skim board
Wow, that first one.
Is that a shark at 10:56
Why is nobody wearing leashes?
I think because the pull of the board could be dangerous when they wipe out or the boards being thrown around underwater could seriously injure you if you're close to it. Idk though don't take my word for it
