First wave has to be the worst wipeout I’ve ever seen at The Wedge.

Remember this wave all too well. Went body surfing there when I moved to Huntington in late 80's and had just moved from Seattle. Not sure of the size but I took the wave late, it took me up and over, my face smashed into the sand when the water pulled away and just heard a craaaaaaaaaaaaack run all the way up my neck. Never did it there again. Stick will the 2-3 footers in HB.

there's no way mother nature intended for this wave to actually be ridden at this size. this is insane and i love it

So cool, thanks for posting this video with just pure sounds no blabla, greetings from amsterdam

That surfer at 2:53 chicken out hard, no shame I would have too.

I remember when it was only body surfing there. Never saw a belly board until George Greenough showed up one day. I lost at least 5 pairs of fins there.

Riding in from the left on a waist high wave into a double overhead monster is one of the coolest things in the surfing world.

0:13 holy 💩one of the best wedge waves I’ve ever seen!🤩🤙🏻🦄

This spot always hits the hardest in videos.

Best footage of the Wedge I've ever seen. Perfect angle / perspective. thanks for posting.

The Wedge waves are short, big, fast and powerful. This was my second home in the 70s and 80s. I'll never forget as me and a friend dove in to the calm before the storm, the lifeguard yelling outside boys. Beach was packed and only a few of the regulars in the water, and normally outside at the Wedge was maybe a 20 second swim. These were the biggest waves I've ever seen or been in since. Breaking and reforming at the end of the jetty with the last being the size of a tsunami. Breaking way over the jetty wall and into the harbor. Couldn't set up being the last out but had the opportunity to swim up the face and look down and out over the jetty and shore at the beach goers who appeared to look like ants then shoot thru the lip and down the backside and bodysurfing this monster wave to the 10 other people on the other side. I never felt more alive that day and exhilarated. We went to the Jolly Roger on Balboa Island for lunch after and remember the waitress saying I looked like I had seen a monster. I was in my Kanvas by Katin surf trunks with sand and salt still in my hair and told her I had and it had seen me.

Fantastic footage Jack, feel like I am there on the beach watching !!! fricken beafy pound town, i dont feel bad about missing it....

Chiropractor , the Wedge is on of the Heaviest wave in the World 🌎. When the wave breaks the ground shakes u can hear it walking from the parking lot .It ain't no joke.

This is insane

Brought back memories from 50 years ago when me and my friends would go their. But no boards allowed body surfing only. Thanks for the sights and sounds of one if the most terrifying spots to go on.

Excellent vid! Thanks for posting

Tyler the Styler - threading it like a Boss!

Amazing video! Thank you for it! Does anyone know where we can watch the drone footage?

The sea was angry that day my friends- George Costanza

Squirming in my seat for 18 minutes, this break is sooo brutalllll

Amazing video!!!!! Amazing riders

Looks like a nice spot to teach kids how to swim.

I see Randy Johnson! The Big Unit! Dude!

Crazy day!! It was super fun!!

B.E.A.C.H....Best Escape Anyone Can Have

Wicked Wedge Waves!!!

smile when someone comes out

The wedge is one hefty lefty!

Respect the maniacs that charge the wedge 🤯

The most intense 3 seconds in surfing

Dead 🏴‍☠️ swell.. sick 💣💣.. from Sardinia Italy surf channel 🤙🤙

that first one was fukin brutal\

Where the the foiler launch from?!

Amazing what surfers will do for the camera.

Great sound

😲WoW! So Totally Gnarly & Sick Dude!! I'm Psyched!! - Yeewww!! - Let's GOooo!! Thnx 4 The Show Brother! "Wish I Was There!''

Anyone know of any drone footage from these videos? what’s the KZfaq channel?

Came for the waves, stayed for the carnage.

I'm wondering, with the jetty and all, if that is a man-made break?

Modern day gladiators, this is radical

Those blurred-out people in front of your shot gave it a super cool unique perspective.

I think you caught my cousin there! He went to the wedge just yesterday, and I'm pretty sure I saw the back of his head 😂😂😂

Filmed yesterday or today?

That ride at 10:18 is fucking beautiful. Took a little off the top.

Narly wedge raw Beefs that looked like a surfboard graveyard, except for catch surfboards, 😉epic thou🏄🏻‍♂️🏄🏻‍♂️🏄🏻‍♂️

is that second wave Felipe Toledo ?

FR, best surf footage is maxing raw Wedge footage, nothing beats it. Maybe live Pipe

I would only even contemplate those conditions with a softop and soft fins

Awesome 😃

2:53 Nice shaped wave.

I finally got to see one of these crazy surges in person, saw the surf report this morning (the day of this footage) and hauled ass down to the wedge, absolutely nuts. The sound was almost deafening. Jamie Obrien was down there catching waves and signing peoples faces and shirts, so much fun just to watch these guys going for it.

Gnarliest day ever

Check out the clean up set, let's take off as far behind the peak as possible, them surfer's are crazy and tough, can be a dangerous combanation. The ocean is going off just hearing the surf. One other little tidbit the water is cold, all I'm saying is don't F with a Wedge surfer there Gladiators ! ⚔️

Eye la bomba..!

Dude, that's like head-high.

10:04 BRUH

I.N.S.A.N.E........nuff said.

f*cking hell. this just insaaane

Heavy

do people ever hit the sand? Why do people lock in to closeouts?

Raw Beefs was here that day.

Does anyone realize former baseball star Randy Johnson “The Big Unit” is there? He is one of the photographers!

Nice ride!! 10:18

Blair Conklin at 12:10.

Show time!

How did everyone know the conditions would be so good

Way bigger than Sandies in Hawaii

Aquel! Se asustó hasta, pedazo pepino perfecto!y, se asusta jaaa, eso es un crimen!

Goof paradise. All this is is a massive shore break. You stand a better chance at the second reef at pipe.

The guys are being pretty respectful to each other on these shit waves. Good videography.

Tip to photographers: Don't set your camera bag down at your feet on the sand . I saw a rouge wave come in and wash over a guy's kit. Salt water is not good for camera equipment. The equipment will be a total loss.

Pretty sure that JOB in red wetsuit and boogie board

The skim boarder got dogged so bad at 17:12. Feels bad

Over the falls and where’d my teeth go?

Dude at 12:53 got drilled!

There’s a difference between crazy an stupid for sure😂🤣😂

Ya got a little sand in your shorts, there, fella.

En el minuto 2:55

I hate the ohhhhh....ahhhhjj..... Every little thing is a wow.....

the dude fcking body surfing the wedge lol wut

I think it’s bizarre that some guy brought a foil out there

Life or death choose wisely

Has anyone seen my right leg?

WTF(oil) at 2:30!?! And 12:51 could be worst slam.

All of these kooks lined up trying to get the best shot for their feed. How about pulling in and experiencing it first hand?

The people (photographers) standing in between you and the surfers are a bit annoying

Insanity.

It is only an awful shore brake! Um lixo de onda.

Ego clowns

More crap waves horrible 4 second rides and sand up ever hole... oh and was that my gooner boss shoulder hopping me... but why did I get a parking ticket?
