    I grew up surfing 56 st in the 70s (damn I'm old). We would go watch the wedge sometimes when it was going off and there were never near this many people out and MAYBE a couple on boards. I know I am out of date with board tech but these guys are still crazy. I am sure those who have seen it live will appreciate that footage does not do justice to how gnarly and how shallow this is all happening in.

    It’s a short ride but the drop in and the sections are gnarly! Nice barrels if You’er in the right place at the right time. It takes every skill in the book out there. Swimming, paddling through powerful sets in shallow water. Taking off at the last second, riding barrels , punching through the back, kicking out, body surfing to retrieve your board, getting slammed and held down, dodging other surfers . Hitting massive back wash. Ya the Wedge has it all!

    The dude on the yellow top orange bottom board (Mach 7.7 throwback?) is good. I liked the little air reverse he did at the end. Beyond him and a few others, it seems like a lot of beginners. Didn't see a single ARS. Is it hard to get good SoCal? Not enough swells and breaks?

    Great fuckin video, seriously!!!!! I didn't start commenting time stamps until around 5min even though though has been amazing stuff to comment on science the beginning.
    4:56 = if anybody's looking for this guy's obituary it's in the Orange County Sunday paper on this Sunday after May 10th. His name is Roland Schitt
    5:30 = Sickest body surfing barrel I've ever seen in California for sure 😳😳
    5:36 = Me and my dude would probably be scrappin since I was deeper
    5:42 = R.I. mutha fuckin P.
    5:55 = Without question!!! Me and that dick dragger would be about to fight in that fucking water for burning me like that on a sick little closeout barrel
    6:40 = Nothing against bodyboarders but for a body border that was pretty fucking sick and it was a great wave. Nothing against bodybuilders besides the way they fucken slip into those ways way too easy ;-)
    7:52 = My mind surfing saw so much missed opportunity on that wave. That dude blew it. And I think he also blew out his fuckin eye socket or his or shot maybe his whole face with the nose of his board 😧😧😧😬😬😬😬😬
    8:12 = Dude hopefully he can borrow a life from his cat because I think he might be dead
    8:36 = So I'm starting a GoFundMe for this guy because his ego is shattered into and his ball sack doubled in size and now needs a reduction
    8:46 = Hey seriously prop to this guy like a mother fucker!!! Because you can tell he's not that agile and he's not that coordinated but he fucking made the drop
    ! And if he doesn't appear to be agile and coordinated because he's new to surfing then even more props because most Surfers will stay away from that size of a way for years if ever. There's very few Surfers who as a beginner want to charge
    8:57 = Sickest fuckin Barrel in the whole video and it's blocked but I can't see shit LOL
    9:26 = That thing is a bomb!!!!!!!!! And that thing at a mad sick fucking barrel for a half second!!
    10:12 = One good thing about (music🎶) living next to Los Angeles is the fact that there's plenty of plastic surgeons for situations just like this!!!😱😱😱😱😬😬
    10:48 = Little fucken Barrel. Throws like a slab. Mini Teahupoo
    Sick video but a note for the videographer, throw more booty in there. Being so serious right now because there's so much beautiful women and ass on the fuckin shores of Newport!! Great video but more ass never hurt anybody
    One last thing, I have never left a comment like this one before and I will never do one again!!! Not that any of you give a fuck but it took me an hour and a half almost to watch this damn video because I was doing this stupid shit with the timestamps LOL

      Dude did Southern California all year round is good if your talking about weather. But if you want to catch swell definitely come in the winter and I would choose sometime in January or February and you can still get some good ones in March and this year's been crazy to where there's been good swell at least in Hawaii all the way till May. Although it loses its strength by the time it gets to California, California's been getting good swell into may as well

    • @greaterpurposecommunitychu9910
      @greaterpurposecommunitychu9910 4 роки тому +1

      If you want to watch The Wedge with your own eyes, summer time is best due to the constant south swells which light this place up. However if you're talking about waves along the Californian coast, winter is the best time due to the constant north swells. Depends where you go, each spot is different
