Extremely dangerous - classmate Steve Northern became a quadriplegic surfing there. Before jettys were built, the mouth of Newport Bay (Corana Del Mar and The Wedge) was one of the best surfing spots in the world. The other side of the jetty, Corana del Mar, still gets nice big surf from southern storm created waves, but big waves at The Wedge break out of shape, resulting in only rare short rides, which this vid shows, end with being tumbled about in a washing machine. Not for me.

Many years ago my friend body surfed the biggest wave of the day at the Wedge. It was 25 feet. He washed up on the sand and laid there motionless. People walked by him and asked him why he was laying there like he was Bernie Lomax, or someone. Eventually he was able to get back up. These huge waves break on the shore. Going down head first into the sand is the easiest way to break your neck.

I do love watching this... the city where I grew up.
Yep, the few times I surfed the Wedge it was like this; about 3 seconds of "YEEEEAAAAAAHAAAAAAAAAA!!!" followed by being ground up on spin cycle for a couple minutes in the break zone followed by being spat onto the beach wondering what the hell happened and what was I doing there. Fun for all ages!!
This was so sweet to watch i had to subscribe
Extremely dangerous - classmate Steve Northern became a quadriplegic surfing there. Before jettys were built, the mouth of Newport Bay (Corana Del Mar and The Wedge) was one of the best surfing spots in the world. The other side of the jetty, Corana del Mar, still gets nice big surf from southern storm created waves, but big waves at The Wedge break out of shape, resulting in only rare short rides, which this vid shows, end with being tumbled about in a washing machine. Not for me.
Right literally everyone wipes out
the jetties were built at the harbor entrance and the bay was thoroughly dredged in 1936
Im glad you said CATCH cos there's not much RIDING... I love it. Carnage
I can feel the water draining out my nose and ears all the way from my bedroom watching this 👀
Hahah love the thumbnail
Many years ago my friend body surfed the biggest wave of the day at the Wedge. It was 25 feet. He washed up on the sand and laid there motionless. People walked by him and asked him why he was laying there like he was Bernie Lomax, or someone. Eventually he was able to get back up. These huge waves break on the shore. Going down head first into the sand is the easiest way to break your neck.
Many years ago, I ran into a man who was paralyzed from the neck down because he broke his neck surfing at the Wedge. He was cool. I remember he was sipping screwdrivers; he didn't live long afterward.
@@gambler213 That friend of mine died at age 42. Who knew that a fifth of vodka every day would do that to your liver? I always thought that a job would help him with stability in his life, but he was the kind of person who if you got him a job where you worked they would fire you that same time they fired him. He had what I refer to as a toxic work personality. 42 years without having to work for a paycheck is an accomplishment few people are able to achieve.
@@rickmorrow993 That's crazy, my best friend died at age 42. He was an alcoholic but he died from an overdose of an 8 ball. He too almost never worked in his life.
@@gambler213 Booze is a more dangerous than The Wedge, and The Wedge is gnarly.....
@@rickmorrow993 I've known many people like that. Some blame the booze. Some say they are lazy. Some say it's bad character. I've never met an addict who wasn't using drugs to keep some sort of demon in a hole. PTSD. Anxiety. Depression or some other form of mental illness or abuse always seemed to be at the bottom of it. Only seen a few overcome it. I'm one of them. I'm also autistic. To overcome the alcohol and drug abuse you have to deal with pain that's driving it. Ketamine infusion theraphy fixed the depression and anxiety that drove my excessive drinking. More people should know about the theraphy.
What a crazy place- the waves converge on you. No way out and close to the shore. Wild
GNARLY WAVES!! Another one for my bucket list!
at it’s finest my favorite wave😍💯
my cousin broke his leg and arm at the wedge surfing. be careful out there boys
Definitely bad idea to learn at this beach. Not a beginner spot. There are real consequences here. It's a consequential wave. It's a wave of consequence.
I drink soymilk. I don't have tits yet. (they say it's full of estrogen, the female hormone)
@@vickryan anything soy increases your estrogen....why theres been such a rash of breast cancer because all the soccer moms drinking and eating soy...theyre doing more harm than good for themselves
And true if you dont have a handle on positioning out there it will take you
HTF did a comment about this epic wave and epic consequence get downgraded to bickering about soy milk? Ride safe and go big
Ahhhh amazing waves I always watch amazed riding the heavy waves with heavy music like Delta Parole or with relaxing music videos in background. If crazy like then always heavy tho
Less skimboarders than I would have expected - based on your usual focus, and the description... But about as many as I would have expected, given the size. Were there any kneeboarders, perhaps missed by the camera, or left on the cutting room floor? It looks like there should've been... I saw someone claim that this was from 2009 - any chance you have the date handy?
I thought this was jaws from the thumbnail
Because it was crudely and dishonestly doctored to make the wave look twice as big as it really is.
Wil Sargisson honestly it’s rough around the edges but that thumbnail gets the job done
Basically thisismov had a wave with no one on it, then Photoshopped a tiny surfer to make the wave look huge
JAWS= a shark! P'AH'--I'm alive-- Hawaiian. You hacked.
They are quite big waves. I can't quite see the fun of surfing waves like this ☹️
Epic carnage at the wedge!!...Good times!!..JOB would love this!!!😆
A picture is worth a thousand words
I love Bodyboard im Saad lemjimer. Morocco. Good job
The local chiropractors stand on the beach handing out business cards. I never really got into boogie boarding, but the Wedge looks like fun on a sponge.
Fricken' awesome!
I’m so fascinated by this place and the size of the waves. I’m in “AWE” of this place and the brave people who get in that water.🧜♀️🧜♀️💊💊💊💗💗💗🗻⚓️⚓️🥁🥁🥉🎫🏊🏼♀️🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🏊🏼♀️🏊🏼♀️🏊🏼♀️🏊🏼♀️
That side wash backdoor barrel though!
great video!!!!
Great vids!!!
The boogie boarder is killing it! #bodyglove #1978😎
Great vid. Even though 1% actually made the wave. Too bad we never saw the thumbnail wave.
Lucky if even 1% make it at the wedge
We did see the thumbnail wave but the surfer is Photoshopped
What a Hodad
0:42
@David Nobody cares you been saying that on every reply
I love watching them take on the wedge! What a great break!
The ride at 2m6s was awesome!
Do these waves get so high as they behave like Kelvin boundary waves? Any guys firm with fluid dynamics here?
Freakin` Firing!! Ain`t it! Woo! Totally awesome...
What’s the depth of water at the beach break ?
Is there much skill involved with body bording?
Not as much as most people unfamiliar with surfing think.
May I nominate Van Halen's, "Poundcake" as a suggested Wedge soundtrack for this very important and timely instructional on 'Board-Distancing' during 'The Rona' of 2020.
Sound of the ocean better than any music.
@@A-FrameWedge - I agree. Though my first preference would be the actual sound of all American politicians being hung, followed by Social Justice Warriors, Anyone who mentions race ever, and of course, Biden voters. The soundtrack of them dying...makes me tingle.
Some of those waves... Talk about a ‘shore break’... 😛😄
I was a Boogey Boarder there about 20 years ago (moved out of area). I can say it looks the same. After a few waves you come out feeling like your head got pounded in a boxing match.
Onde é esse pico?! Me parece uma praia "tranquila" que rola altas ondas devido ao fundo
Este pico está en la playa de Newport, pero es casi imposible surfear cuando es grande debido a la cantidad de lugares de estacionamiento.
I used to body surf Huntington Beach (raised in Westminster, CA). Never had the nerve to surf the Wedge.
Boy, I tell ya, I went to the wedge 3times in the 70s. And it was a lot different then Huntington Beach. I wonder why this particular part of Newport is SO different. My admiration for those who surf and swim in this place. Congrats to you brave people!
my older brother took me there when I was 13 or 14, it was not a small day but not honkin either. he taught me how to bail, and pray. i don't think my mom and dad knew, probably better.
Nutszoid wedge day..surfed there once in the 80s...got a couple of insane waves and paid the price of admission!!!
What day is this from??
How long ago was this swell?!
@Longie Pilot you sure? I thought I saw a clip in there from October 2017
I'm no surfer. But I've seen a lot of Wedge vids. Enough to know that no matter what, you will get tossed by a wave. Even if you had a great ride, it usually ends up under water. That's pretty rad. Balls to the wall, man.
Guy on the Purple board is the one that's always on the Raw Beefs Channel.
How is the volume of the opening clip louder than the actual ocean?
Deranged wave how many people break necks/backs?
I hate cold water but I’d love to catch one of these a frame double ups lol
What are the stats for injuries at this break & how long does a session last before you call it? How many rides do you get?
Usually 2 or 3 and then off to the hospital.
I felt bad for the guy with the broken board he looked pretty dejected bet that was $400.00 day unless your sponsored.
@ precisely. 7:30 this is what makes The Wedge among the most unique waves on the planet!
It like folds back on itself coz of the wedge, I’d love to go there one day from Australia.
When was this footage taken ?
Yup
How deep is that? Seems like their would be broken necks and backs everywhere.😮
True story. You can walk off it's so shallow. NEVER dive head first or feet first. You've all been duly warned.
It is very shallow and often churning with sand. You wipe out in grit. Like any steep/fast shore break, people get hurt often. I've seen some bad things here.

Where is this place
What beach is that
Onde fica este lugar?
Were is this beach?
Onde fica essa praia?
Que olas más grandes y que surferos más buenos
A friend of mine tried knee boarding the wedge back in the early 70's he got buried up to his ankles in the sand, upside down, haha. He got pummeled, I prefer riding SARJ on big days especially with Santa Ana conditions or after a big rain storm.
Miss botha hitting those close outs with air reverses! All those boogers are looks!
Now THOSE are waves .
Where is this
The Wedge is straight up vicious.
Looks like a tricky one!
excellente vidéo 👌👌🌊🌊🌊
Where is this ??
2:06 wow. 2:17 ouch!
The real unbelievable moment was 6:32....anybody catch that solid post-fall body surf??
Was this recent?
Bloody Hell, you blokes got some Balls.
Go Ahead, take a ride on mother nature's waves! Lol. They're loving it, and deserve to. I have a 14ft solo skiff. I fun fish, catch and release only, in Marathon florida. Just being out in my boat, enjoying these fish, that crack me up. All these water hobbies we have, is just rue water therapy. Better than no other,. 😂 🌊 🙏
9:50 wave hilariously attacks boarder's face then MEGAWAVE, you saved the best for last!
Covid 19 might be surfing there with u guys....
It's a good video. Peace out! LOL -- 3:55 peace out. 3:03 tube.

Nice photoshopped title image. Real image 0:15

Is it common to get run over out there? So many people to dodge it looks like whack a mole. Awesome though!
