The WEDGE!!!

Our final day in the states was spent in Newport beach city. A small hurricane swell has been sending small fun size waves to the coast and the Wedge was turning these waves into 8ft monsters breaking as wide as they where high. The waves where great as long as you where ready to be slammed into dry sand as the waves broke unto the beach. It was like a gladiator pit out there a heavy price to be paid. One board was snapped in half and another guy had to be pulled out of the water after landing on his feet and snapped his leg resulting in an open fracture! I managed to catch a few myself and even found myself inside a deep barrel.















This guy is about to eat it!
