Seeing Jamie O'Brien put in context with all those other hellmen really puts his surfing into perspective. He's another level. respect to anyone that goes out in that.

I’ve lived by the beach in Southern California all my life and I’m still terrified of the power of the ocean. Impressed, amazed, mesmerized, and terrified by it. I’ll stick to snowboarding and let you maniacs have the waves.

Crazy stuff, mad respect for everyone sending it that day. And say what you will about JOB, but he's killing it out there, squeezing into those barrels like he's surfing backdoor pipeline. Also, let's take a brief minute to admire Blair's versatility as a waterman. Love the guy. Would've loved to watch this spectacle from the beach!

Aww I so appreciated the raw footage and sounds of waves. Thank you for sharing it.

The Wedge is and always will be the BOMB!!!!! Thank you for posting this Mr. Man!

I saw snippets here and there of the sets and I knew it was biggest swell to hit in awhile. Sick clips, sorry you got stuck out there when it flooded.

Have really enjoyed looking at your superb video - full of action from beginning to end with amazing wave shots and terrific poundings ! I like the strong sunlight sparkling on the wave fronts with all the foam suds and boiling surf - interesting to see the beach life alongside all the waves !

Epic podcast, start to finish top notch content! Great job to all involved! Documentary or mini series on these experiences would be next level, if only...

Beautiful footage. Great waves and a great sound experience. 👍👍👍

I wish I drove to the Wedge at 5:00 Am to watch J.O.B. surf, that would've made my day

13:25 would be me on every one of these waves

Literally EPIC footage🔥🔥🔥🔥Great Job👍👍

Just awesome!!! Thanks for sharing.👍💯

At gunpoint: "How do you wish to die?" "Dude just send me out at The Wedge with a surfboard."

Epic footage bruh ! Job and Blair getting her done, bodyboarders were killing it !

Bummed i couldn't make it down their yesterday. Thanks for posting 🤙 G⭐

HOLY CRAP. Awesome video. That wave at 41.29... WOW.

Great video men,, insane waves!

Mad ...thanks for sharing this!!

PRESSURE DROP ! DOPE FOR SURE ! These guys making the best of it ,, dig it !

I hear you guys talking about Ocean Beach in San Francisco. Im from Dana Point, so I grew up surfing in south county back in the 80s. I went to school in San Francisco, so one day in 1989, I decide to go surf a swell at Ocean Beach....I paddle out by myself, get pounded in the impact zone trying to paddle out by four 10 to 12 footers, and I mustve been 30 feet down easy by the pressure I felt on my ears. Somehow, I held my breath for what seemed like minutes, and made it to the surface. I almost didnt make it that day, and I was the only one out so nobody wouldve known. Ocean Beach is a gnarly break....and NEVER surf alone.

Really good footage of surfers and bodyboarders chargin! 🤙🤙🤙🤙

Thank you for posting

I grew up in Newport. I've seen every bomb of a swell go off since 1993 and only one time in I think '98 or '99 have I seen consistent sets this huge. Weirdly, I got way way way better at snowboarding in 5 seasons than surfing in 15. I'm also petrified of sharks so the fear is distracting. I got hit by a tiger shark in Oahu when i was 19 and it kinda fucked my relationship with big blue up a bit. Great video.

J.O.B.s Vlog Coming Up WILL Be Insane. Jamie !!

Great footage, watched the whole thing.

Thanks for not dubbing in cheesy music! Pretty freaking big out there! Epic video

Holy crap Brent, it was massive!!

Dude, I got worked just *watching* that video! Nice job!

Crazy waves and only natural sounds perfect

Great video.

When you said Big waves, I didn't think this big!!! Holy Hell

haha I'm just tripping on the fact that someone can actually duck dive what looks like a 6'0" skipper I have one and that thing is so freaking buoyant, I couldn't do it to save my life

Some great footage here.

I stopped surfing the wedge many years ago...definitely a spot for young people. Not for the faint of heart.

I listen to this every night and it really helps me sleep. I hope everyone reading this is relaxing and perhaps getting a good night of sleep to face many blessings the next day! |

That second clip is one of the cleanest things I ever seen

i've just been watching surf and bodyboard vids the last week. i was out on big wednesday in like 2012 and this giving me the itch to get back in the water

My favorite wave to watch, everyone gets a beating no matter how good they are. Great Video.

I liked that you showed the moon upside down in the beginning. Every time I see it like that I post it. It’s really mind boggling to wonder if the moon is turned or the earth. Great shot!

How many years of experience and practice does it take to ride barrels this massive? These guys are insane!

I absolutely love the opening clip, Craig Whetter big air to landing on Jamie O’Brien. It looked like he got tangled in Jamie’s board too. I hope Jamie dived hard enough, that looked full gnarly man😵

This was worth all :47 minutes of sleep I lost watching this.

Jamie was just killin it... One of my favorite surfers fear sure

Craig Tanner and the other bodyboarders putting it down!! Socal boys do it rite sick footage

The second wave's super floater I literally see as the ultimate potential finishing move for giant wedge stand up surfing. Where else can you go besides close out tube, mediocre mid wave carve, or pull out, you know? So, sick stuff, Jamie. If only you tried sticking the landing. Hopefully more surfers follow your lead..

Blair's wave @ 27:53-28:09 KILLING it!

I am grateful to have witnessed this video.

respect to those guys it was crazy out there this morning🤙🏻

Sick!!!l Loved 9:06 🌊❤️

Jamie surfs it like a true local!!

16:13 Jamie crushing it, shacked so deep and then spit out...dope!

Hahaha the body surfing is NUTS!!! when he launches into the air!!???! Whaaaaat how crazy. Looks soooooo fun

17:15 that wave and perspective is 👍🏼👌

Happy 4th of July! That's was crazy 😱

Sick weldon!! So beast out there.

Pretty sure there were more ads here than the super bowl.

I was watching these waves on Surfline when they were going on lol

Great stuff, next best thing to being there...

Amazing to have such big wave so close to the beach What is the height? Until 5m ?

BW big mahalo for the entertainment today... it was inspirational.

Harris out there aching to be in the water. Hope you're healing up there amigo.

The dismount of this wave is absolutely worth a look. It was Tyler I think the video master said. He took 10 of air on a relaxed front full flip off a board. Vid time 9:33 AND @-32:50 for a more relaxed exit!

12:30 boogie ride successful. Nice. Ditto that at 14:55 nice barrel.

The wedge needs to have a lot of South in it in order to be magic. The more west the harder it is to get those magic, glorious rides, and the more dangerous it gets because it wants to push you into the jetty, if you wipe out near the corner, and down the line, it wants to close down the cylinder section on you as you are coming out of the main bowl. If it's south-south-east, that's when you see guys get the long shots from the corner, all the way through cylinders, which is rare but epic when it happens.

Good stuff!

41:32-41:45 Best and biggest Wedge wave EVER ridden!!!

bruh how long did you film, patience and commitment

Since I suck at surfing even at lazy doheny which is my speed I am excellent at appreciating these young guy’s surfing skills.

nice to see JOB out there, together with Ben Gravy's stuntman.

When I was just a kid in the 60s it was all bodysurfers, all day. We had a place up the peninsula about a quarter mile and learned to bodysurf in some really wicked shore break. The old guys at the wedge took many of us under their wing. Those guys were really watermen and skilled in anything ocean related. I live in Hawaii now but I really miss this place.

I noticed the full moon last night. It was eerie, just above LAX airport right at dusk. Sky was blue. Moon was orange. (it turns white after it rises up.) Surf charts showed major south swell. Weather all day was clear skies, windy and kinda hot and dry. Freaky signs. I knew it was big. Happy July 4.

So JOB has massive wedge backhand barrels dialled in after like 5 waves as if it's 4 foot pipe. Legend.

41:29 biggest wave in the video (I think)

ur videos are rly good

8:44 jamie proves that he can put down the wedge harder than all

Jamie O. .. Owns the Wedge!!!

That was RAD!

16:18 jamie realizes how much he loves the wedge

You guys are crazy !! You ho young !!!!! 👍

That wave at 14:59...(!!) That was so sick...

The most crazy guy of the whole vídeo... the fisherman🤣🤣🤣

Those waves look massive and scary. Respect to those guys.

Insane

The Wedge used to be famous for body surfing. Where did those guys go?

Wonderful stuff... What lens please?

How big of waves does such places actually get?

So sick!! Sorry if this is a stupid question but why are some people not wearing leashes? Won’t their board get slammed into the rocks? Or get lost in the backwash?

The floater at the start!

15:40 bliss then regret excellent wedge reality check

Belly flop at 30:36, gets wrecked then American board goes shooting out. Perfect for the 4th.

Epic surf 🏄

I notice there was a rescue that you quickly stop videoing . Was the guy ok ?

this is one of the few things that make me happy about being in CA right now. everything else sucks...

Unreal

During a giant south swell in 1977 a Vietnemese Fishermen was fishing off the end of the Corona del Mar jetty when a giant set came and washed him off never to be seen again.

The wedge is the perfect bodyboard spot. The waves aren't too long, they have a high peak to get the speed and aren't too steep on most days. You get a good drop with maybe a barrel and a sick air
