I went to huntington beach on honeymoon and bought an amazing swinwear from hurley. I remember the Deep Green color of the sea. And there was a surf contest with a perfect organization. The red bay watch trucks were amazing. Little kids learning Sports... Well just unforgettable. If i had known about this spot (the wedge) i would have gone. You guys have an incredible country. Well done.
So fun to watch you guys battle those beasts!!! There is no clean finish! Every time you snag a wave you got like 4-5 seconds before you get blended!!! Sandy Beach on Oahu. Got the crap beat out of me when I was 18 and I loved it. That beach owned me. Took me like a feather, through me into the spin cycle then left me laughing spread out on the sand! You can’t describe that feeling and going back in for more! Love this video, so cool to go back in again and again! Unreal. 😎
Mahalo nui loa for the coverage brah... Sick as. Letting the footage do the talking… Spot on. We had a huge Southwest swell on Oahu as well. Respect for Pitted @ 39:05, the drop at 46:54 & the noseless barron who kept charging. Back on the mainland and hoping the Wedge will be firing again soon. Cheers.
Hooo brah…Nice! Get around on da surf trips yeah? Right on. Maalaea’s Maui; still da fastest break I’ve ever surfed. The Wedge is among the heaviest, but Majuro (in front of Delap SDA) was probably the harriest…Also Backdoor Ehukai’s and then Yilan Taiwan (hurricane of 2014). 🤙🏻
A real Mulcher. Some breaking left to right, only to be countered by a powerful pipe in the opposite direction. Too crazy for me. But fun to watch! cheers.
I was body surfing 15-18 foot beach break at Seal Beach a long time ago... just started on my way down...and here come this huge backwash...O NO! It dislodged me from the wave as I was suspended in mid air the huge lip of the break caught me just below the buttocks...and slammed me into the sand ... just as fast it spit me up on shore with both my heels of my feet cramped against my buttocks! I screamed for the life guard and he came running up and grabbed both my wrists and hauled me up just before the next breaker pounded where I was writhering around! Ha ha ha ha ha... Funny thing was ...he stopped me before I went out and asked me if I knew what I was doing... I said yeah...Get in get down and out the backside... alright he said...two minutes later he saved me!

Nice job filming. Brought back memories of 1960s Bolsa Chica. Huntington Beach north of pier. Will Rogers, Santa Monica when waves were 6-8 ft. Flat today. Last few years! Ok damn, decades . Let me go grab my wheelchair lol 😂
Big storms would bring planks of driftwood to 1000 steps. We would make forts out of it at 12 years old. The next day, we would find out that people, overnight, used our driftwood fort as a restroom. Bummer.
Where on this earth is there a more brutal shore-break? These guys are world- class, whether they know it or not. I would have liked to see a longer follow on some of these. Make no mistake, these guys are getting hurt by that wash. Epic punishment on one of the world's biggest shore-breaks.
As I worked on the rooftop of The Dana Point Inn, of course I would jump into the ocean to cool off. But I also Knew the importance of cleaning up garbage. Tearing off a roof, on the beach? Huge priority to run magnet's and clean everything in distance until ALL trash bags were full. Then, pack that garage, them or ours, off the beach.
Those waves remind me of the book, "Two Years before the Mast" Logged on a Merchant ship, by Captain Richard Henry Dana Jr. Dana Point, baby. Read the book/ ship log to thank him. Then, you will understand the bronze statue tossing a cowhide, from a cliff, to ships waiting at Dana Point.
Can somebody tell me why most of em dont have their leash on? Is it much easier on the wedge or what. I just wanna know n im curious. Wasnt it hard to get back the board with that kinda wave
The confidence, adrenaline that gets you out there! You may think it is normal, it is NOT! It is rare, especially in comparison to "You who do" and the millions "that don't " You brave Peeps, thank your mother, spouse, anyone who does not want you to get hurt, and still gets you new trunks... they be heros too!
So in the 40 yrs i lived n surfed in SCal, bowl riding along rocks, beach breaks, these places were the most epic junk surf I ever endured, I remember I thought it was cool... just looks like a wave turd since I left SCal lol

The sound of the runing flippers on the sand...you brought me there!
This is definitely a phenomenal summer vibes video. ✌️ Blessings to everyone involved with the podcast!
I appreciate just the sounds of there. That brings back the best memories of there.

Best ever! Love the video quality and sound! Please keep making these.
Thanks!
Was the guy at 18:00 and 21:00 seriously riding a broken board? Respect!
First teahupoo, then Maalaea, now the Wedge. What an epic week.
Hooo brah…Nice! Get around on da surf trips yeah? Right on.

I only boogie boarded there one time when the surf was small and it still was a beast. You have to time it perfectly to get in and out of the surf.
If you've never been in it you have no idea how shallow that break is

How gnarly can it get???? The wedge knows the answer to that question each and every time!!!!!
one must possess cast iron nuts, have a screw loose, and despise their parents to surf this wave
The tempo, of the succession of waves, in a row, remind me of the first, "El Nino" Storm. Just none stop. No break between the waves.
I grew up in Corona Del Mar. was at the wedge everyday I could be. This was back in the 70’s and 80’s. Epic spot!!!
Yeah - now that we are a bit ‘older’ it’s a spectator sport for me.
Nice job filming. Brought back memories of 1960s Bolsa Chica. Huntington Beach north of pier. Will Rogers, Santa Monica when waves were 6-8 ft. Flat today. Last few years! Ok damn, decades . Let me go grab my wheelchair lol 😂
Hypnotized... Perfect! No voices, just cheers.. hope for every ride to keep on 😎
A good short board and a whole lot of mental insanity to surf the Wedge on a really big wave day.
True
That initial drop is crazy. Almost unpredictable. I don’t think I’d have the balls to drop into that mess. Credit to those who do.
You should check out 1,000 Steps and see if any sand is left. It breaks better after that for at least a week or year.
that was so awesome, I couldn't stop watching
Ol broken board became a legend that day!
He was top notch skills
The Wedge, fantastical beast.
Lots of waves, not many takers!!
Half board but twice the spirit...what a legend!
What's with all of the unleashed boards? Crazy, in that surf, I'd think.
That was 47 min of surfing, hello.
Big storms would bring planks of driftwood to 1000 steps. We would make forts out of it at 12 years old. The next day, we would find out that people, overnight, used our driftwood fort as a restroom. Bummer.
The " lull" between waves is deceving. Always be ready. The wedge used to have a tidal "Vortex" that created a Whirlpool.
Incredible to watch. These waves are breaking all over the place.
Great video... I was there... Incredible waves... Did not dare to go in...
Rad Edit! lol you can see my drone ripping around, I almost got pitted that day!
And I am old timer....my OLDER sisters identical twin boyfriend broke his neck here. Circa early 1970's
Great video surfing Houston Texas

Thanks for sharing. Almost done and going to watch again.

That's cool
I was in the hospital once with a man who broke his neck at the wedge. I don't find this daring but reckless.
Good to see our boys got a piece of that code red
I used to surf there tons before moving to the North Shore. I took plenty of beatings
Small by wedge standards.

Must get that book
Mayhem and carnage. Perfect Wedge.
Oh yes, the good old days
The bottom is very shallow, easy to get pounded into the sand head first.
39:52 my man be hitting the gym. Geez
Nice scenery. New subscriber. Thanks.
Gnarly...these guys are the best in the world
Days like that, bring back the expression, " To be buried, like A Sandcrab". And a whole lot of sand in your shorts and ears. Love that place.
Sounds good
I see a lot of people not wearing their leash. I wonder if it's a thing to not wear it when the waves are this big.
In that kind of terminance after you get smashed you want your board away from you so you don't want to have the leash attached
@@timesup4688 Ahh I see. Thanks for the response.
@@nikolairose2739 ,🤙
Can somebody tell me why most of em dont have their leash on? Is it much easier on the wedge or what. I just wanna know n im curious. Wasnt it hard to get back the board with that kinda wave
It takes a lot more courage than people think to tackle waves like these. MUCH RESECT TO THE GENTS THAT TACKLED THESE WAVES!
Yes, July 18th is always an epic day! 😎
A true summer day in SoCal
fun to watch but how can that be fun to ride? Those guys are nuts!
I was looking for Kendall Nishimine out there of Hawaii in the curl his specialty
That day had the most epic Rights at Corona Del Mar Beach. (The South Jetty).
Really please post a link. I would love to see that
This looks kinda dangerous.
"I think I cracked a rib" 12:31-13:00
Mad props to the surfer riding at 8 min 20 sec
Crazy waves but I'm curious as to why the wedge is so popular. The waves look kinda trashed if you ask me
the long hair guy w/ the sawed off nose pretty much owned the day..
Dude rips
24 minutes into the video, the only smart dude is way out, at the end of the Jetty. Reminds me of me.
Yes
The confidence, adrenaline that gets you out there! You may think it is normal, it is NOT! It is rare, especially in comparison to "You who do" and the millions "that don't "

22:40 "Out of the way, nerd."
Read the book, "Two years before the Mast". Writen by Captain Richard Henry Dana Jr. That's how Dana Point, California, got it's name.👍
Sounds like a good read
Sound is mesmerizing
What does the black ball on the flag mean?
Cheers 🤙
7:23 that's a ball buster if ever I saw one lol
Crazy!
Sitting to standing while on a moving plank 37:17-37:20. Same surfer, 39:52-39:58. His board, 41:50-41:55
Nice to see the B-listers getting a go at it. All the pros were off surfing real surf breaks lol
Wedge has always been a bodysurfing wave first, then sponges took over always a novelty wave for surfers.
Your just so cool.looser
@@patrickcrady904 Ohh Patty, don't let your snowflake melt so easily hunny...
Great vid, big waves 🤟
Doesn’t anyone work anymore
This videos title is just a ploy to get another hit from the RUclips veiwer- should be titled *Sloppy Soup at the Wedge"
Awesome boarding & surfing
Waves are too high & breaking soon
That's too big for me
So in the 40 yrs i lived n surfed in SCal, bowl riding along rocks, beach breaks, these places were the most epic junk surf I ever endured, I remember I thought it was cool... just looks like a wave turd since I left SCal lol
That wave ride at 2:52 though ..
Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for checking it out!
So, I'm guessing that they caught on and now you need a permit, registration and a licence to fly a drone at the beach.
Badges we don't need no stinkin badges
Dana Point Inn. Yea, I fixed that roof! Behind it is a grove of Cannalillies. Get your own!
So rad!
Where is this? ? Washing machine wedge?
Yea, I never appreciated people fishing around people catching waves. ( Know what I'm talking about?).
Hopefully they had better luck than the surfer's.
You sure know how to relax.
Damn, this hurts me watching.
Now That, is f'k Code Red. Even the Lifeguard is freaking.
really enjoyable
Hellz yeah!! Mexico is going apeshit as well🤙
Is that Dylan graves on the broken board or am I tripping
i was wondering the same thing..
I love surfing, but to be smacked by the waves. No thanks.
These guys like tortures.
Just missing the trembling of the shore. Maybe Disney might need some help to get busy. I'm not responsible for wipeouts. Period. That's on you.
Cheers, 39:01-39:13
South Balboa, when too packed, a quick run, up the beach, shall you find, solo, powerful waves at 15Th St. Just a jog, away.
At 7:00, guy wisely goes under massive wave rather than... Um....
Surely there's better surf not far away? The Wedge has always looked pointless to me.
im curious of the flag symbolism..? Does anyone have info on that?
black ball means no hard boards
@@igaroot Means no 8-ball..only 9-ball!
@@igaroot thanks for the answer I was curious too, why wont they allow hard boards at some times and not others
Looks deadly
Hell yeah. Almost on my bday
Happy Birthday!
Insane
That looks knawlrey. hEAVIES. 👍
Captain crunch
Anything is possible
UNREGURGETATED !
It's Bonking
