Three years later, it's still one of the best wedge videos I've ever seen.
I agree, great video
i agree as well could watch it over and over
FlyingSquids Ever since it came out I've came back to this video every now and then
Agree 100%
I'm a SoCal guy, and some of the non-surfers I talk to don't know about Wedge. I refer to this video every time I talk about it.
am i the only one who saw this crazy vid and immediately wanted to surf here?
Jack Schreuder well at the wedge it's rare to have days like this. This I believe was when there was a huge swell due to a hurricane. the wedge can be big, but not usually this big. also, its very shallow there, where some of those guys are diving, it's like less than six feet, and people were airlifted left and right. not to mention the jetty. Good luck though!
Jack Schreuder heard its deadly.
I live like down the street from the wedge it gets pretty gnarly and so much fun
+Kaneki Ken yeah it is where the waves break it's like 2 feet deep so you really need to know what you are doing when you are at this spot.
***** Yeah , it looks pretty cool though :3
5 years later still the best video of the wedge hands down
so true Ethan, watched it since new too. It so needs to be shared.
one of the best surf videos i ever saw in my life, the filming, the editing, the soundtrack, that's art right there!
You kook it was 100% plagerised the Rebels Motorcycle gang song footage from Beefs TV and Man of water and a few minutes long all at 1 break thats a takeoff and wipeout..???
Try Shipsterns Bluff by Surf,Game,Action and There,s another Shipsterns Bluff Biggest&Baddest That Runs for 3 songs it's about 20 min long now they are awsome and feature like the 2 most dangerous waves on earth and if you want to top that off witth the 3rd and 4th most dangerous heavy mutated slabs on the planet just change from TASMANIAN Australia to Western Australia's, biggest & baddest, "THE RIGHT" & '"CYCLOPS" by Surf, Game, Action again i think,!
But just watch everything you can find on those 3 breàks, and the other spot not yet identified I left till last as it's the worlds most dangerous wave and also least surfed, even the international community of Big Wave Surfers wont go there and only Australian mad bastards have been there when it"s churning out hidious slabs with the square barrels with more steps than a fire escape you could fly a 747 through that has no trough half the time just dry granite in the middle of the ocean hours off the coast of TASMANIAN heading towards Antarctica and the swell comes from water 100"s of feet deep to 4 ft deep slabs of granite with 6 meter White Pointers feeding on all the seals that feed from all the fish living in this submerged rock outcrop/ reef.
These Waves are so Immense thick and powerful that just wiping out and hitting nothing has almost killed people with 1 guy blowing out his knee breaking/crushing 1 leg & bleeding from ears and nose and his lungs, shitting himself and ĺoosing consciousness, he thought he was dead and as we (humans) crap ourselves when we die maybe he did briefly??? IT'S CALLED ""PEDRA BRANCA"" TASMANIAN
sonicboyPT things changed a lot
Waves like these breaking near the shore?! This place is insane!
Wow, I have never surfed, and I still have the utmost respect for the crazy guys who tackle waves like these!
Such amazing power from what is always a brief ride experience. The Wedge triples in size so fast it takes my breath away.
Best Wedge video I've seen. Amazing slow mo and really good colour correction!
yes
this is the best wedge vid,,, I used to body surf here all day and after school... me and my buddy Marco drug a lot of drowning sole outta here.. this place can catch the best of swimmers off guard
Less is more and you illustrate that well. Thank you for the time and effort at this great footage, no different than the many others but for the fact that you capture with slow-mo what the eye sees and yet we often miss; huge drops, perilous cascades and collisions, and the enormous thickness of this fabled wave that we stare at in wonder! Kudos to the brave kids in the water, Matadors all whether surfers, boogers, or the original body surfers. Thanks.
The wedge produces some of the best surf video I've ever seen.
Iam 62 grew up body surfing Sandy beach and Makapoo never had a chance to try the Wedge ,thats may be why I made it to 62.
The best video I have EVER seen on The Wedge!!! Spectacular!!!
The way the whistling started all happy then changed when that guy got worked - priceless!
This has got to be one of the best clips of the wedge. Great footage, great edit, awesome music. Well done.
+f0t0b0y so true.
Terrible edit, not enough of each ride.
going to have to agree
what do you mean? the waves at the wedge on last for a couple of seconds because they close out?
Can't wait for wedge to awaken next summer
I have seen many videos, been there in person and even braved it a few times in my younger days and that by far was the best wedge experience I have ever witnessed.. very nice....
I believe there would be some personal issues to be worked out for that sponge drop in at 2:39
Much respect to the creator and all the brave souls still ripping!
Ass whooping time
This video has some of the largest Wedgicals I have ever seen!
One of the better surf videos i've seen. Frightening waves, and so close to the shore! I've never seen that before. Usually they're very far out there.
And great music!! Not often i hear such good music that it actually makes me search it up and study it. Thanks.
Its called shorebreak mate.
WBSwag123 Alright, thanks. Looks like fun, but also dangerous. That amount of water weighs an awful lot.
When its like 5-8 it's very fun
***** It just looks so unusual. Not a nice place for a dive, i'd guess. Those waves could kill if you're not experienced.
***** also if you have spearfished at wedge on a small day you would see that it is about 2 feet deep or waist deep than there a is 2 or 3 foot drop off and you go head deep.
Man.. this is simply.. beautiful.
Magnificent carnage!...a pleasure and a joy to watch!
Those waves look bad to the bone. Great video. Excellent music too!
Surf on brutha's
Im glad i got to grow up near the wedge when hardboards were not allowed. A blissful decade of bodysurfing and sponging this great spot without the danger and hassle of surfers.
7 years later I watch it again and again
I never saw film of the Wedge in the summer if 1969 or 70 when a HUGE south swell came pumping in from Mexico. The radio reported that at Dana Point twenty people got washed off the jetty. We went to the Wedge and the rescue boat was in the water trying to get guys that got so hammered they were exhausted out of the water, but the sets kept coming in and they barely made it over the set waves. One older guy with a shaved head would go out at the lull and catch the set wave, then come in and rest, then go out again. That set wave formed and was starting to go over the jetty at the far end. These had to be around twenty feet ! The lifeguards dragged several guys out of the water completely exhausted and limp, what a sight that day ! There was one guy with a movie camera on a tripod and the camera looked professional but I never saw that day in film.
Beautiful footage I love watching others surf the wedge. I'd never do it.
Filled my nasal cavity with seawater!! I had to grab the sand to keep from getting sucked back into the wash
I remember bodyboarding on an 8 foot day here I thought that was big but these dudes are insane. Never going in if its bigger than 10
This video will still be the greatest wedge video
best wedge video on the tube. I can't stand when people bail out of the closeouts. get SLAMMED that's why you go!!!
Just stumbled on this, such an epic video with beautiful shots! Greetings from Nazare, Portugal!
songs so good, oh ya and the gnarly shore break too
8 years later, this is still my brother’s and I favorite video
Hands down the best wedge vid!!
What a gnarly wave :)
One of the best surfing videos on TH-cam!! Well done!!
Huntington pier is a great spot when you are 12 or 13. Even on a day with decent swells you have time between sets to recover when you are learning. I think my divorce was more peaceful than the first time I realized how I was going to be getting back to shore at the Wedge. The water was a beautiful green with shades of blue from the beach. It changed to teeth full of grit and the endurance to paddle, duck dive and remember what face first shore break is all about. Hell to the no! Great Video.
Well done video. The WEDGE was my bodysurf site back in 1970..... I miss it!
We never had wet suits back in the old days. But now I know why I have brain damage. The Wedge in Newport Beach. My old stopping grounds.
This video captures the Wedge like none other. But you have to stand on the sand and watch to get the full power that is pummeling down in such shallow water. It's crazy to see someone ride a wave that's double over-head or more, and then stand up in thigh-high water. We don't get the swells that make the Wedge go off very often, but when they come, it's nice to know someone captures it so beautifully. If anybody tries it, don't break your neck.
on .25% speed this slow mo is extra great! thanks for covering this day!
Wow. It is still the same. I grew up in Newport off Jamboree in East Bluffs. Graduated from Mater Dei in 1978. I now live in NYC metro. The wedge was always for dudes who were crazy. With huge wave breaking on 6 inches of water I was 16 yrs old in 1976 and was body surfing the wedge. I got slammed and did a face plant in the sand. I went for it! My whole face was skinned. I guess a full face scab was a badge of honor / courage? Nice video. It is true to life.
When you see lids going over the falls; Instant double props to all the Stand ups.
The oceans raw power combined with mans quest to live life to the full, this is the real deal. Superb video and music.
This short film is amazing. It's all about life : going forward and finally at the end failing. "But this truth also remains that every end in history necessarily contains a new beginning. This beginning is the only promise, the only message which the end can ever give. St Augustine said that man was created so that there could be a beginning. This beginning is guaranteed by each new birth, it is, in truth, each man." Hannah Arendt
I really think its just about people sponging/ surfing the wedge. You seem like an english teacher who over analyzes things lol
Jack Noyer Or they're just stoned
Jack Noyer lol
Yeah man, pass the mushrooms.
great vid, good surfing; i used to surf the wedge in the mid 60s before surfboards were introduced to the wedge. it was assumed back then that board surfing the wedge was certain suicide. surfers are much better than the earlier baby boom surfers like me. i love to watch people surf. Wow. SURFERS RULE!
I keep on coming back to this video.
3:00 Death drop!!!!!... Carnage indeed! !!!!!!... You guys are my heros!!!!
Bodyboarders look like frogs being shaken around in slow motion
Fabulous! I body surfed there in the 60's. This took my breath away!
Great Rides & some not so great, but remembered; I did the Wedge when I was Young, a lot younger. Instant thrill,,,,,,great video,,,
Epic footage, very nice editing and coloring! Good tunes too. Thnx!
TH-cam needs more videos like this! WOW! This is the type of video I like to see when I look up Wedge. Beautiful Work!
Great photography and amazing surfers!!!
F-ing awesome!! Great vid!
AMAZING
7 years and this is STILL the best wedge video to exist
That was freakin' INsane. Those guys got nads! Those waves were like buildings crashing down. There were some EPIC rides in there tho.
8 years later and this video is still the best wedge video i’ve ever seen
Seriously cannot get enough of this video, favorite short on youtube.
ive watched this at least 20 times now
I Watch this everytime I make my Wedge edits
Your Wedge edits are really, really good too.
the Best Ones!! nice video... good job Brecht...
That is one heavy Shorey...these guys have Monster balls man.
I've looked at a great many wedge video's and this one is very good, great choice of music and truly the largest set waves I have seen at this spot on video, triple overhead+
BEST VIDEO.. I appreciate only now, 20 years later, some local Surfers warning me, "Sir, don't even try" They saved my life.
....a Canadian Surfing Maniac.
one of the best compilations from the wedge i've seen
Ugh..The Wedge...the dirty, unforgiving Wedge.
I used to body surf and boogie board the Wedge back in the 60's. I can't even imagine surfing it. Those waves are brutal.
Best Wedge video I've ever seen! When I see the freefalls, I keep thinking, foot and a half of water at the bottom. They couldn't have all survived.
Maximum respect!!!!!
This video is my favorite of all wedge videos and the wedge is basically in my backyard so it's awesome to see the people get destroyed in these massive waves
Never gets old! Great vid and song.
Lots of fun this wedge provided you know what you are doing
music: Black Rebel Motorcycle Club - Beat the Devil's Tattoo
This is one of the best of all the wedge videos imo. I love the soundtrack, it's so fitting . . nice work.
one of the best vids on youtube
Miss the hitch hike days from Seal Beach to Wedge 1988 ; )
Best Wedge film I've seen
Nailed it !
Held my breath for most of it....job done 👍
only the best of the best ad the craziest of the craziest will charge wedge when it is this big
props from a local... Great Vid
The bodyboarders are truly charging the place, every single time, whereas so often the surfers bail out the front, or dive off their board...Good to see the Lads are still leading the charge at the Wedge..(!!)....
What an epic movie - thank you!
Frkn awesome dude! Classic final sequence too man! yeeeew!
My Favourite Wedge Vid! Love it.
There's always someone in the way at the wedge. You just gotta go anyway. Even if it means a sponger taking the nose of a surfers board
I can still hear the screaming.
Some one should make a medal for going in here !
One of my favorite surf video.
I´ve never seen the wedge that big - far out! Well done video
Excellent video, top class
The Wedge reste vraiment une vague méga impressionnante et bien méchante! 🙏🏻
Excellant vid!
Every wave a fast close-out. Crazy place to surf
Great video! Well put together!
Extraordinary footage and mood. The color of that water is sublime 💜
Awesome ! You gotta respect
