Giant surf at the Wedge (Newport Beach, CA), shot during an epic south swell on July 24 & 25, 2009. Waves sized in excess of 25 feet, created dangerous conditions at this world renowned bodysurfing break. A small number of bodysurfers, bodyboarders and surfers rode the Wedge during the swell. Tragically, one bodysurfer died in the massive surf, despite heroic efforts by Wedge Crew, Point Panics (HI) bodysurfers and Newport Beach lifeguards, to save him. Video: Seabear. Coming soon... the Wedge Documentary

  • @Xattheend It still takes more balls to surf it

  • @TheDakinesurfahboi Dude, it takes massive amounts of balls to go out no matter what you're on. Respect to all those who try it

  • no names, but some folks used to do the Wedge on acid (likewise the Pipeline on a board).

  • did some waves like this around 1970 - was gonna say you didn't catch any of the rebound off the jetty, but there it is @3:03 - quite a mix up when the two waves collide.

  • I've been out there, but not when it was as big. maybe 5 to 6 foot.. not 20 hahaha

  • These guys must use their giant balls to help them float

  • I was there watching. It was epic.

  • @TheDakinesurfahboi with balls that big you cant get out there without sinking.

  • @TheDakinesurfahboi oh so much more. 1:50 was epic that he even got the drop. But would've been sick if he just made that bottom turn

  • ohmygodyes.

  • 1:39 is one of the best wipe outs iv'e ever seen

  • I tried boarding this break a couple of years ago i tweeked the fuck out of my back also don't try to go there with a leash it'l just get ripped off!
