[thewastedguitarist]

god, the beach where i lifeguard has lots of rips, but no fucking 25 foot swell !!!!! you'd really have to have your balls about you to be a lifeguard there.

[mykeydrive]

[Andysrf1]

[Pigroota]

You should have had a bikini surf contest in that

[TheChristopherx]

Damn poorman were getting old Dude.

[el11zeppelin]

6-8 foot max. Fliggin' Americans exaggerate eveything!

[elguappo94]

@el11zeppelin im agree about what u say of americans bro, but those waves are 12 foot waves..

[08isWELLhung]

@elguappo94 how come u don't talk about russians. legitimate question

[elguappo94]

@08isWELLhung ??



[inlandsurfer562]

@el11zeppelin Too Core bro

[Fergy64]

the wedge is always this big. summer is known for south swells which hit wedge hella hard.the only reason all those spectators are there is because it happened to be all over the news. and the reason people were having to get rescued is not because the size but because of how stormy it was and how the waves were closing out and prob a really strong current/riptides. and bodyboarders rule this place cus they can get more speed then bodysurfers.

[guitarsalert]

good song

[pierjumpgirl]

i live locally and it is so annoying how many people seriously just sit infront of my house.. like really... haha

[tsarrite]

SSL FTW

[dayumnitserica]

 that fucking crackhead doesnt know shit about wedge

[xxxIronLeexxx]

Someone please punch that college frat boy asshole posing his tiny muscles in the background, in his face.

[Jim44ee]

LOL you guys are on major world wide Tv. Right.

[onthewave123]

he sounds like hes having orgasms as hes watching peoples waves. he is clearly a kook . i hate this man

[WCD14]

my first wave at the wedge i free fell down an almost broke my neck

[HondAriDer64150]

when do the wave get big wut month

[InsightSurff]

the wedge doesn't get as big as it was on that swell twice a year......try once every 4 years.......

[dosh225]

15 ft max, most waves look a solid 10ft..

[keyten4]

you also need to know that swells like this come once every few years. theluvchat also needs to change his name to "doesntknowshit"

[808fern]

that is a horiably song and maui jaws gets way biger and way more people watch u should go look at jaws videos

[808fern]

that is a horiably song and maui jaws gets way biger and way more people watch u should go look at jaws videos

[MAYZO69er]

is it just me or does he look like some creepy pedo?

[carde028]

please stop talking like you know shit about bodyBOARDING, body surfing is an entirely different form of wave riding, and the more you try and tell us all about what you know about the wedge, the more we realise you know nothing

[keyten4]

@carde028 i agree with you 100% dude, know one knows the power of the wedge like the people that actually have the balls to charge it. if you dont surf or bodyboard or anything like it, you need to just shut up and watch

[carde028]

@keyten4

absolutely

I wont pretend Ive ridden it, nor that I would even think about giving this size wedge a try.

Riding a 30 ft close out just doesnt appeal to me lol

but soooooo much respect for the guys charging, Im content to set here on my lappy and be in awe of them

crazy shit

[s3cr3tor3ofilms]

stop talking so much

[entguy1]

come back do the show poorman

[51Estrada]

i could of been there but of fucken football!!

[Macintosh20121]

hey! im in this video!

[trendyrvcaKV]

shitty filming. guys a cracked out kook. he doesnt live here. water is deeper than a few inches. and gay song

[texasgold007]

first of all what a tosser that guy is and second 25 feet yea right looks more like 10 to 12 feet to me

[jborq]

uhh,,, let's say each person you see out there is 6 feet tall.

LOOK at the size difference of a person in comparison to the wave.

Much more than "10-12 feet".

[jborq]

Look at 1:40 and 3:50 until the end.

Then buy some glasses.

[texasgold007]

@jborq well im guessing you have never surfed a day in your life you dont measure waves from the front you measure them from the back and second they are on body boards you idiot witch means they are lying down so there height is irrelevant. so as i said 10 to 12 at the most

[8FULLMETALJACKET7]

@texasgold007 hey just a F.Y.I. California measures waves from the face. Hawaii measures from the back. google it!

[texasgold007]

@8FULLMETALJACKET7 well then all people from california are a bunch of poofs any real surfer measures from the back and thats a fact you can google

[crabslax13]

it happens twice a year but the swells last for more than a single day

[jtmedina75]

-4 stars because of the song. The video is nice.

[bryanlovig]

remember when poorman used to host loveline with dr drew?

[iamajibber]

yeah and they got beat up by a pimp? lol

[MalibuCornelius]

These were waves from a New Zealand typhoon that were doubled by a lucky jet stream that you never see in the middle of the Pacific. It did not hit LA north as usual as any hurricane since 1997. Hurricanes used to go off Baja in the summer time and would hit Malibu at least half the time but now it's four times as big OC south 95% of the time. When Rincon finally had some decent waves a contest was snaked to death like starving crocodiles vs. a lamb. Ie Rincon Classic, early last summer

[M1rinecorps]

i remember that day, i was there

[TheBungieDude]

i would bodyboard this if the water was deeper. other wise i would break my neck if i landed the wrong way. oh yea, that guy has crazy hair. he looks like a hobo

[afisfire]

What an absolute total and utter fuckhead. dick head no's fuck all about the ocean

[c4t2f0]

This guy is so fucked on his wedge know all

[DawnPatrol44]

Twice a year?

[surfer3595]

This guys a homo

[metalschooldrill]

Horrific documentry/report. @ 3:19 it was not unbelievable. it was desperate just like this video

[crazydawg97]

that guys a kook. the waves arent even close to 25 ft

[billyb3williams]

[freemandiaz]

Damn! You're looking f'd up! lol At least you are still out there living the dream of relentless babes! Glad you are still out there creating the magic! Love ya, poop!

[MrSquidtubes]

[jmaghami]

[surfer3595]

[sealsponge]

[surfer3595]

[sealsponge]

[Cervicconstruction]

Eight to Ten foot max what horse sh-t.

[ChazzLipone]

i was there it really was

[Brandonn1]

hahaa....the wedge is pretty sketchy but this guy is clearly exagerating!!

[irishmadman2]

get fukin proper camera man that knows how to hold a farkin camera

[theluvchat]

Learn how to spell, and write a proper sentence in English. That's your next assignment, you illiterate shit! Then we can discuss your critique.

[irishmadman2]

Would you please hire a more sophisticated camera man you imbecile!

[theluvchat]

How about if I hire someone to pull the dildo out of your ass.

[irishmadman2]

how bout you borrow ur mums hose to wash the sand out of ur vagina

[Azzuri2010]

I thought you were poor man how are u gonna hire someone haha jk

[keyten4]

@theluvchat how about you learn some fucking terminology, and go home fucking kook. and go try surfing the wedge.

[boltingdino]

@theluvchat you sound like a fuckn faggot you sick kunt

[livingstone858]

@irishmadman2 i full agree with you man. shakes the camera like hes wanking

[Fragalishous]

@irishmadman2 Worst Music I Have Ever Heard.

[Fragalishous]

@irishmadman2 Worst Music I Have Ever Heard.

[o0oo0ooo0z]

"here comes another swell" (?)

[soothingrash]

look at him gooo ohhoo oohho hh only six inches of water - wtf lol

[isaiahskater14]

in newport u read the wave from the back kook

[ultramegastaunchman]

Its only 10ft if that.. not one of those waves is 25. Half of you don't realise that you read the height of the wave from the back. if the title was '25 foot face at wedge' then it might be right.

[crackertheclown]

i was out that day and it was bigger then 10ft u fucken kook grow a dick and charge something that big u pussy

[majtymicke]

I read "25 foot wedgie" and had to see it XD

[blainus1982]

HAHA! THE SAME HERE ;D

[theryer007]

i live near there :P it gets big everywhere like that

just not 25 ft

[MyMusic621]

that guy is such a shoob

[DoneWrongType]

25 ft haha maybe 9 ft more like it id sponge that shit

[MyMusic621]

it i 20 feet asshole i was there. stop trying to show of on the internet when ur probably a little punk ass with no friends

[pepsiblueshirt]

your so stupid 9 feet would be 2 people standing up if u look at the waves its a lot more dumbass

[DoneWrongType]

you obviously dont know how you are supposed to judge a wave by looking at it.. im in the water everyday k? proper way of measuring wave height is from the back of the wave & if you were to measure from the front (like most of these clowns on here) then the waves would exceed about 18 ft maybe... so shut the f up

[acerthepimp]

the wedge doesnt always break in a foot of water, it can rang between a foot up to like 8 feet deep, i didnt go out this day but im pretty sure it was deeper then 6 inches

[midleeasternrecorder]

dude i was surfing that shit caught a few then went home i saw this then i was like holy shit they were that big

[zacattak12345]

i would watch but if i went in there i would die in the first 5 minutes

[bigpoopa11]

this guy is such a shoob

[theluvchat]

look dude, you're probably an excellent experienced swimmer, etc. Someone from Cerritos who goes to the beach once a year would be swept to sea on a big swell. Put away the pipe and get a clue dudeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!

[Kyleskimskate]

Thank you, poorman, for speaking that like a true guy from newport beach.

I high five you!

[bigpoopa11]

i was talking about you being the shoob? no shit if someone went in there they would "sweep" out there. thank you captain obvious for that statement. very good :D

[surfer3595]

fuckin get a clue "dude". look at all the comments! all the info that you said was bull shit. and about your face... if you dont change it ill have to change it for you

[ScruffyBueno]

@theluvchat Why did you mention Cerritos??? I'm from Cerritos! A lot of us from cerritos bodyboard and visit HB all year long man.

[stratocaster4412]

it was hide tide. You don't even know what ur talking about, you couldn't even go out there in a 4 foot swell if you tried so don't act like you know it all.

[robertmalonesc]

Great video I would love to surf the wedge one day

[julianhaircutisgay]

2:13 "it can pull u out to sea and u could die" what the fuck?

[julianhaircutisgay]

why the fuck is he still talking at 1:08 when hes not even shown. u can hear him in the backround saying " oh, only 6 inches of water" he keeps repeating it. dude u are one strange creepy old man. i dont think u realize how weird u sound talking. and it doesn't break twice a year like that, a lot less. the last time it was this big or bigger was in april back in 2007

[metalschooldrill]

Twice a year? More like once in a decade. America is nothing but hype at a overpriced cost.

[theluvchat]

if anyone knows the Wedge Crew, let them know that I'd like to interview them and get educated to what it's really about.

[quebebrah]

I can get The Crew for you.

[timcat107]

theres a lot more then 6 inches of water bud.

[jmaghami]

THis guys is a dipshit!! I cant beleive he say it gets 20-30 ft twice a year. So DUMB

[jodeakaweasel]

i was there

[darrenwouldgo]

3:18- ugh. late takeoff.

[WTFSNPWN]

What kind of videocamera are you using and what effects in this vid? I LOVE IT

[mjs3211993]

he uses his laptop

[WTFSNPWN]

Haha wish I had met ya man I was there bodyboarding that day.

[WastinYourTime]

fuck yea man the waves and the music got my heart pounding i wanna go do that

[theluvchat]

I run twelve miles a day at the beach.

[theluvchat]

It's called residual marijuana disease

[chrisw40]

how did you get so skinny dude?

[mrbeligos]

poor man's such a space cadet.

[tabre]

ALL THAT REMAINS!!! One of my favorite bands.

[Necronlord101]

Poorman is awesome. Fact of life. I wish I had found luvchat sooner, its funny and entertaining!

[kuelproductions]

I loled so hard at 0:34 - 0:38

[SeabearVideo]

Cut Poorman a break. Some of these comments are just plain mean-spirited. He was not stoked on the death, he was just telling what happened. He did say some things that were slightly off (like only happening "twice a year"), but so what. He obviously doesn't hang at Wedge too much. He is waaay cooler than the TV news reporters that totally dork out the place in their pleated slacks and expensive haircuts. Anyway..." LEAVE ... POORMAN ... ALONE!!!!!"

[KennyandtheSkull]

it gets 20 foot twice every year??? where are you from, kansas??? hahaha

[canadianstudmuffin]

Very cool! :P

[theluvchat]

You know when we did this video on that epic Wedge day, we only had about 5 minutes of tape left on the HD camera that we use during LuvChat. It was all 1 take. I can't believe how discussed the thing has become. Most media was covering the US Open in HB. The people that body surf, "bodyboard", and surf The Wedge are beyond brave.

[whtlizzard]

"BOOGIE BOARD" is a company name not a sport....and just like snowboarding

BODYBOARDING has become the prefered and better way to ride waves with more control while laying down

[criscoularokz]

boogie boarding is just like a slang term for bodyboarding.

saying boogieboarding is different to bodyboarding is like saying dogs are different to canines

[carde028]

argh this guy was really pissing me off, does it not disgust anybody else that he took so much pleasure and excitement out of telling us that someone died. and he's all "woah look at this dude" like a parent trying to be cool to impress his kids, when really hes just embarrasing himself. Sorta demeans what those guys were doing that day, which was epic to say the least

[CrunkinLiLy]

I was at the beach on the 25th at dockweiler and the waves were EPIC. Not as big as at the wedge but hell it was HUGE. I got in the water so unaware of how big it really is I got sucked in and slammed. 3 of my friends had to be rescued. The waves break soo close to shore.

[limoguy333]

haha that was awesome that you used all that remains for the song! you like metal poorman?!

[cwa420]

thats me in the neon green and black wet suit

[theluvchat]

Who is he?

[rocketklein]

i love dave lovado flshing his muscles in the backround

[metalschooldrill]

Twice a year???? Is that right?

[dragonkiss131]

supa cool

[woggleboggle]

i live in irvine, this place is amazing

[jeffrey2177]

great video poorman i live in long beach and i love the wedge

[all4tubekids]

That was some crazy and awesome waves! Sure have to respect those waves!

[saris1]

the f****n poorman!!!

[sharkomarko]

Shooting in HD and completely let down by not having a tripod. Sure, for a few of the interview shots wobby cam is great, but for zooming it's a shocker.

[theluvchat]

Pretty harsh comments dude. I don't get off on someone dying. It's obviously a huge tragedy. I didn't edit the video. It was the director of my show. I have full respect for the Wedge crew, and am a long time Newport local. If I wasn't on there, it would be fine. To me it's insane that people ride those waves at all. I have since learned that Tom Curren (former surf World Champion) was surfing there, and I'm sure many more famous people. Much respect.

[bauerjb]

It may have sounded harsh but I was greatly offended that someone could sound so callous about a death. That wasn't edited in. Anyone in the water that swell deserves tremendous respect and their passing should be treated solemnly and not with an air of sensationalism. RIP.

[irishmadman2]

I understand that people who die should be respected. However, if you look at the waves at this beach, they are fuken dangerous, and break on the shore. So basically if you go out there, theres high risk of serious injury and death. In this sense, the people who surf these waves are asking for trouble.

[bauerjb]

More waves less poorman would be better. At least no one threw eggs at you like we used to in the eighties. Pretty sad when your biggest burst of enthusiasm was telling us the someone may have died. I guess you got off more on that than you did on the waves! Long live the Wedge Crew-Mel, Terry, Ingy. Hope you're doing great bros! Poorman-Go Away!!!

[Kyleskimskate]

Although I agree that Wedge is very shallow, it's not 6 inches, I was there yesterday, and it was at least 4 feet deep, and it was only 6-7

[jaimepablo]

*) 5 Rescues & 1 Death "& its not midday yet".

That sums up the debacle whats occurred on Newport Beach.

*) From the footage available it appears there were a substantial # of novices in the water.

*) The Crowds should've been pushed back for their own safety & the safety of boardriders.

Im not here to ban board riders on the Big Days. But you gotta be frank & tell the Novice - unfit Enthusiast, "Mate, sorry you can't go in today. The Beach is Closed - Dangerous Conditions."

[reverster]

FYI, the lifegaurds were only letting experienced big wave people out that weekend. The waves were so huge that even experienced body surfers and body boarders were getting in trouble and had to be rescued.

The guy that died was a 50 year old wedge veteran.

[jaimepablo]

I believe you those waves were huge. To have people injured,+5 rescues, indicates they didn't comprehend the conditions with their abilities. Plus 5 rescues are +5 too many.

[reverster]

Get real. This is an extreme sport. Rescues are part of the game.

I guess you would just ban it all together. That sounds like a fun world to live in.

[jaimepablo]

I don't think paid &/or volunteer Life Guards should risk their lives rescuing others. . . when they know willingly they're in dangerous conditions. If these body boarders or board riders are going out in these "dangerous" conditions, don't you think they shouldve got a mate in a jet ski to whizz about between the break? I'm all for extreme sports, but go in prepared with back up instead of relying on community resources.

[crazymonkeyshank]

its ther job bud

[Kyleskimskate]

The Lifeguards who work wedge are specially trained. You have to guard a completely different way when it like over 7 or something. You can't sit on the tower, you have to walk up and down the beach, telling fuckin 909er's to get out and shit, and then they're ready to run ionto the surf

[metalschooldrill]

@320 that surfer is rediculous. He's lucky he whiped out sooner than later

[NehpetsK57]

nice footage strange commentator terrible music, 5 stars for the wedge

[xxD1st0rtEDxx]

...if you guys ever want to be partnered you can't have copyrighted songs in a single one of your videos...

[zabezabe]

This guy seems almost excited about the death. Somebody died bro. Show some respect.

[kushnugz]

no one realizes how shallow the wedge is.

Look how close to shore those waves are.. so insane. I was there the 25th such a good day to go. Sunny and huge waves.

[rohendllll]

Music sucks, ruins vid

[klmsurfergirl]

hey i was there! nice waves on friday..

[beachhgirlie]

music sucks..
