1:27 wave of the day....unridden. Heavy wave, props people..

If you know someone who has never surfed, this video captures the feeling of what it's like to ride a wave. The editing is different, creative, interesting and has a unique rhythm that works because it's strange and follows it's own vibe. I really like this!

Brad Nack Are you serious? This captures the escense or feeling of Surfing? I didn't see one guy make a drop let alone ride. That's not surfing . The wedge isn't a surf spot. The break is off the jetty and makes the peak Jack up and unmakeable. More people have been brought out of the water with broken necks than I can count. I've lived and surfed the area for 40 plus years I know!

Nice edit...gives you time to awe at Wedgeness. Respect to you nasty Wedgers ..

NICE work man! the wedge is by far my favorite place to film. I could watch this for days.

I was there, those were some really gnarly waves. Pretty fast and steep for epic slammage. Still had fun though...

Im from nc . i have jumped out of air planes . drag raced a nitro harley at speeds around 200 mph in a 1/4 mile . But never ever surfed . watching you guys do ur thing is pure poetry in motion.

Me too, dude. Didn't have a board though. I went there one day when it was glass. GLASS. 13 of us or so were out there. 1 guy had a fish. 2 boogie boards, the rest of us treading water, just sitting there, bored, basically. We were just behind where "the wedge" usually breaks. Then, we saw the horizon start to rise and we all took off. My GF said "It was beautiful. All of you just took off as one. All we saw was arms, like synchronized swimming". We had a long way to go, and my brain was just SCREAMING at me: GO FASTER! That swell was the biggest thing I'd ever seen. I grew up at the beach. It was the biggest wave I'd ever seen. It just kept getting bigger. I was preparing to get slammed. Then, I remember feeling the sensation of swimming UPHILL. I'd never felt myself swimming VERTICALLY before. It got dark, and I saw a small circle of light green and went for it. Popped out on the top! I heard all the "YIP!"s and hoots from all the boys down the line, happy we weren't killed. Then we heard it: CRUUUMMP! It was awesome. That was the begging of a pretty gnarly set. I was happy to ride the swells, but, I was getting tired, so I made my way in, which, as you know, is pretty tricky when it's poppin. I was just touching bottom, when I heard "Help me!" and I saw a kid about 13, being DRAGGED out right past me on my left. I said "GIMME YER HAND" .He said "I CAN'T" and then I saw the monster behind him. The classic "Wedge" beach break wave was up and curling and about to hit the both of us. I was like "GET DOWN! NOW" and BOOM! I was in a washing machine. I don't know how, but he was now on my RIGHT! A Dad came running down the ramp and helped me drag him out. He was fine after a while. It was a foamy, dangerous chaotic mess. It was.....paradise.

This is the 2nd video I've seen of yours of this swell. Both of these videos seem quite artistic. Really cool choices of music, and even though completely different genres on each, both super cool with the footage. The super slow motion stuff in this one is particularly good. A couple of those unridden sets had me yelling "Whoa!" -- a couple of monsters, huh? Well, just wanted to tip my hat to your production. Aloha!

best pov surf footage on the web. amazing!! I still have nightmares of body boarding that place lol. that used to be my spot but it's to heavy!! you gotta be in shape to take a pounding.

Great job man. Cool edit. Ballsy impact zone angle. Solid

Thank you for getting some nice surfing clips... most are just body boarders

First time viewer. Excellent videography, editing and music.

I started making surf films when I was in junior high in the '70s... Back then we used Super 8 film cameras and had to wait a week before our film was developed. I have never stopped making surf films now going on five decades. This is some of the most beautifully shot and edited footage I have ever seen! The music is epic also ...kudos to you my man! I am a wedge JUNKIE... I am subscribed now to your Channel. I love Raw Beefs too.

Looks like a modest day at the Wedge. I've seen it MUCH bigger. Those are like 7-8' swells, the peak being 12-16', but magnified by the Wedge's unique physical characteristics.

It stated that surfing was prohibited between, I recall 10AM to 5PM. I assume, as I make another trip down to Orange County and missing this section of the beach, um, that would definitely include actually BEING in the water at this point ? It looks really awesome , though!

DON'T go over the falls!
