You said it. Happened to a childhood friend of mine at the wedge.. quadriplegic. I’ll take an ankle bashing at the Bu over a broken neck any day.. who wouldn’t?
I used to body surf the Wedge as a teen, and I've never been slammed on the bottom so hard in my life. I know one person who broke his neck there. I don't relish a fin to the face, but I'd take Malibu.
Dude. Wedge. Obviously. The weekend warriors and valley kooks at the boo is no match for the neck breaking power and shallowness of the Wedge... and you can't forget Cylinders
My only experience w/either is these videos and the earlier Bruce Brown films I watched this week. And all I got to say about one vs the other: The more things change...
no, Malibu's Way more dangerous,, when it's small at wedge majority of bodyboarders know good etiquette,, Malibu's the next destination for all the tourist that flood west LA year-round
yeah, obviously wave wise wedge takes the cake, but when you got inexperienced surf that literally will run over your head or pearl and then they come crashing down on your head or you get snaked and get your shins smacked off. There's no way around it. You're gonna get snake every wave you take.
Miracles do happen. Someone talked me into paddling out at first point one day at last month and I actually got a wave to myself all the way from the top of the point to the sand.
The wedge will snap your spine. I'll take Malibu. At the wedge you don't surf, you go clam digging head first.

Nobody is getting scorpion'd on the bottom at Malibu. Not even close, Wedge wins hands down.
The wedge will break your neck, Malibu will break your spirit.. Choose wisely 🤣
Awesome video. Mr. Brad you're a Legend!!!!! The Wedge is insane!!!!! Thank you for sharing and posting.
Appreciate that!
The Wedge will break your board and bones, Malibu you just have to know basic defensive blocking skills.

like these types of videos!
First Point Malibu is definitely more dangerous. Third Point is fine. Based on my experience this past Thanksgiving Day.
Brad you're the man!

Ha! Excellent question.
Wedge grew up two blocks from that back-breaking power 😊
What about Mavericks?
Definitely wedge
Well.. I don't feel freaked out when I paddle out at Malibu where I rarely see lifeguards pulling out lifeless bodies.
True boarders just call it “Wedge”
Names evolve.. this wasn’t always the case
Dangerous? Which is more psychologically damaging, is the question!!!!
King harbor is far more dangerous of a surf spot than
I wouldn’t mess with that wave
I'll take people over mother nature every time thank you very much 😂
Great click bait, but the answer is obvious, Wedge. Not even close.
Really no comparison
