Memories of the wedge late 60's through early 1970's: Everyone bodysurfed. Duck Feet or Churchills. Takeoff on the side wave and then fly across the peak. Speeding so fast it would rip your fins off and pull down your pants. I learned to tie the fins off to my ankles with boot laces. Left arm straight out in front plaining on the bare hand , right arm back with right hand rudder. Holding on until the last possible moment and then a left shoulder dip and successfully out the back, sweet! Or spectacularly over the falls and coming up with sand in places you didn't know were places. Gawd it was fun! And then the one day they brought down the kid in the wheel chair on his one year anniversary. Sobering.

Excellent little documentary thank you. and a great collection of videos. I think the only thing you didn't mention was that East Newport beaches have steeper sloped shore breaks. whereas in West Newport they break far out. and the wedge is essentially the very end of East Newport, which is why the slope of the shore is steep. and it's probably even worse of a slope because the wedge beach is up against the harbor jetty. as a youth growing up in Newport, I never did bodyboard or bodysurf at any of the shore breaks. especially the wedge, lol. hitting the sand didn't look like a good idea. I boogie boarded around 44th Street which had a permanent blackball in the summer. but even over there I almost drowned on one rogue hurricane wave that pulled me over the falls upside down by my leash from the boogie board being pulled by the wave. which would be green flag at Nazare, lol. I have no idea how the big wave riders do it. it seems to me they should have small scuba tanks, tee hee. John Wayne became an actor because of getting injured at the Wedge, btw, as it caused him to lose his USC football scholarship. hats off to the East Newport Madmen... p.s. what happened to the body surfers? it used to be primarily a body surfing spot. aka Dirty Old Wedge video.

A broken bone from body surfing in Orange County had John Wayne off the USC football team, but he happened to join the team bus for some extra work on a movie.

No mention of the unique and famous "sider"? I think that's one of the most interesting things when describing the wedge. Nothing like catching a wave that's going OUTSIDE and North only to reconnect with the main wave. The skim boarders have it dialed.

They nail that sider for sure! Thanks for watching.

@@stratman9449 scary right. The water disappears when the tide moved out to make a swell. Tsunamis do that. I freaked. Back to Huntington Beach I went
