I guess that is why it is so crowded, people like the Wedge because of its power and giant tubes.

Can we please stop with all this Hawaiian measuring crap? 10 ft is 10 ft. It doesn't matter what part of the world you're in. When I hear people say stupid things like 10 foot Hawaiian it makes me want to smack them upside their head. I'm at least glad we don't hear dumbasses trying to measure the wave from the back anymore. That was the stupidest s*** ever.

Homefront I was a regular there during the 80’s and bodyboarders were harassed by the minute if they showed up, it was a great time to be a bodysurfed at the Wedge, remember when it was really big I would be out with maybe only 10 guys at the most sometimes less, but hundreds on the beach watching with an Ambulance parked waiting on the dirt above the lifeguard tower.

I've been watching absolute dynamite surfers tackle these waves for the last 25 years. It's weird to me that Red Bull sticks a pro in the water and he tries to explain the dangers of the wedge. Stay home fool, I put my eyes and money on the guys that do this for the love. I always make it a point to approach these wedge surfing derelicts and thank them as it feels like they're surfing for me and my fellow spectators

Who is the youngest to surf the wedge?
Patrick
Patrick - 7 years ago
I am the youngest to ever surf it. It was even recognized by the city of Newport Beach back in both the late 90s and again in the early 2000s. In 1999, when I was 3 years old the mayor declared me a "local treasure" at one of the monthly city hall meetings. The next time was in I believe 2003, that's when I was given the key to the city at 7 years old, all for my accomplishments in surfing.

The first time I surfed it with my dad holding me I was 5 months old. The first time I paddled out and surfed it all by myself was when I was 16 months old. It was during the famous Galapagos Island Storm in the Summer of '97. Waves were 15-20 feet (Hawaiian), and I was surfing a 2'8" ...Lost Fish that was shaped for me by Biolos. Ask the locals about it---they'll tell you. To this day they all talk bout the little baby fresh out of diapies that used to own Newport from W to 54th street. They all know the tale of the toddler that charged only the biggest set waves. The little baby from Lido that would show up for the gnarliest storms.

They talk about the time when I was 2 year old and saved little Timmy Roberts from drowning. Yup, my second summer season (when I was just 2 1/2 yeas old) and rescued local 12 year old Timmy Roberts from the rocks at the Wedge. He got sucked out in the rip (he was on the beach with his older brother building sand castles when a big ol' rogue clean up wave rolled through, washing him out to sea). Luckily I was there and able to drag him to safety, because even the lifeguards were scared to go out that day. Yup, lifeguards up and down the California coast still talk about that text book rescue. Many call it the greatest ocean rescue in California history.

Anyways, after that, I maybe surfed the wedge another 8 or 9 times over the next 5 years during only the biggest and best days.

After that I retired from surfing, which was just before my 8th birthday. I figured I had done all there was to do in surfing by then, so I hung up the wetsuit to concentrate on perfecting the martial arts.

The specific martial arts disciplines I've focused on since retiring from surfing are Capoeira, Touchless Ryukyu Kempo Karate, and of course Parkour.

Through synergy, I've molded Parkour and Capoeira together, and am now able to scale the highest buildings, and jump upwards of 50 feet in a single leap (while spinning, flipping, and twisting through the air). I have worked tirelessly to combine the ruthless beauty of the Capoeira and Parkour I've learned over the years with fighting disciplines like Wing Chun and most importantly, Touchless Karate (of which I'm a master level mind fighter under the tutelage of George Dillman) to create what can only be described as the most dangerous fighting style ever imagined.

With this style I've created, I have the ability to knock entire gangs of attackers unconscious with only my mind (by disrupting their Qi) while I climb buildings and jump over houses. I have learned to throw energy balls that are not only able to disrupt the life-force of individual attackers, but are able to engulf entire buildings in subsonic sound waves that send anyone inside into a state of catatonic paralysis. Recently I was downtown when I saw from a distance an older woman have her purse snatched. After jumping over 4 lanes of traffic and climbing a 6 story building, I was able to get within 100 yards of the degenerate thief. That was close enough to use a mind attack on him. I used a subsonic Qi pulse to send the purse-snatcher flying through the air and into a bunch of trash cans. I then was able to grab ahold of the purse with my mental tractor beam and fly the purse back through the air (over 1/4 of a mile) to the rightful owner who was standing on the corner with a crowd in shock. She thought God himself reached down to help her. What I showed that day was just a small sampling of the powers I've learned under Master Dillman's watchful eyes.

Master Dillman's training gave me the confidence and tools I needed to begin to develop my own personal fighting style. Today, after years of hard work, my style has finally progressed to the point it's at today, where I no longer need to even touch my adversaries to incapacitate them. I can take on entire cities with this no touch technique, and when I combine it with Parkour and Capoeira, no man or woman alive (outside of Master Dillman) has the skills to match me.

I use speed, agility, and my Qi (which I use to create an aura around me that acts as an energy-forcefield) to stop mechanical weapons from being able to touch me. There is no better defense than making yourself impossible to hit with hands or weapons. Whether it is a knife, spear, kick, punch, bullet, lamborghini, headbutt, saw blade, hammer, or prison shank, it cannot penetrate the Qi forcefield my mind is able to construct around me. I compare it to the protective green shield the alien ships had around them in the movie 'Independence Day'. Nothing could touch those alien ships, no matter if it was a bullet, a missile, a fighter jet, or a nuclear weapon. It's the same with me.

Once a year I put on an exhibition in the desert where I allow individuals from the public to fire machine guns at me. The bullets just bounce off me and fall harmlessly to the ground, because of the energy forcefield that surrounds me. It takes perfect Qi and a clear mind to create such a strong mental forcefield..

Master Dillman has also taught me that with great power comes great responsibility. And I don't take the power I've been blessed with lightly. I know that I have a great responsibility and that the helpless, like you you tubers reading this, need me to protect you.

Lastly, for all of you young people out there considering No Touch Fighting, remember what I just said. With great power comes great responsibility. You will become the most dangerous version of yourself, so make sure you understand what comes along with that --- the expectations and responsibility. Your mind will be the ultimate weapon.

So, if this sounds good to you, just send me $9999.99 (by money order or Western Union) and you too can be on your way to becoming the greatest version of yourself.

The Wedge is way over rated, these days 12 year old kids are taking offon the side wave and pulling into the close out shacks and popping out the back like it was nothing… I can't wait till one of them gets hurt and its all over the news and all we hear about is how dangerous the place is and yada yada…. its going to happen- mark my word….its inevitable… too many kooks, too many barneys in the way because you can walk out to the peak on some days… and we'll all get to see it because ther are 20,000 gopros in the water everyday with everyomne of them wanting to be Lark Clittle or what ever that guys name is who shoots shore break pictures…wow what a concept….if everyone happens to learn about what PR can do for you we'll be bombarded with kids being profileed for taking pictures of  tiny waves with "amazing cameras".. be gone!

It's just the gnarly factor. I go surf it to get pounded and just have fun. I know it's a not the best quality shape, but it's really just for the rush and to be rolled around by the power of the water. I've only made 1 wave there. I've gotten bucked and pitched like 7 times. It's actually good training for hollow wave drops/getting in very early.

+SOTHICK RICK For surfers i agree the attraction far to be found, but to bodyboarders and especially skimboarders this wave is extremely nice. Bodyboarders get to ride a huge slab and they can jump on the backwash to do aerial tricks. And skimboarders can surf the backwash straight into the barrel of a big wave.

Sir Shartsalot - 9 years ago
As a former bodyboarder in socal, I can answer why I liked the wedge. It's because of its hollowness and size. On a south swell, it is easily one if not the largest waves along the entire California coast. I wanted the largest and most powerful waves I could find. The wedge is a adrenalin junky magnet. Another reason it gets a lot of notoriety is the show it provides to people from the shore. You pretty much have to go to hawaii to see such large waves breaking so close to shore. For many, it's the largest waves they've ever seen. You can feel the waves shake the ground when it's big.

+SOTHICK RICK Calling it a shit quality wave is unfair. It's a very fun wave at the right size and forms beautiful a-frame waves.

Randsurfer - 10 years ago
You wondered why people like the Wedge.  The reason is because it is gnarly as fuck.  That might not be a reason for you to like something, but it explains why other people like it.  You see, there's this big world out there with "other people".  These "other people" aren't you.  I know you understand this a little, since in your first post, you actually wondered about these "other people".  So, that is the explanation you were asking about.  Now you can slide your head back up your ass and pretend your turds are the universe.

It really doesn't look to be a fun ride, just a challenge.

+Luke Johns  Dick is the short form of the name Richard? Do you mean Richard?  As in Richard's cunt?  I thought Richard was a man with male genitalia.  So if by cunt you mean female genitalia,  Richard might not have a  cunt.  How would Richard get   female genitalia in a bag?  Maybe Richard is a serial killer who mutilates his victims. Possibly your Uncle Richard by the sounds of it.  
I guess may be you meant I could eat a load of Richard's wife's pussy. If she was better looking than your mother, I may be tempted, but I am not into eating another  man's meal, so I would forego the offer.  Besides, my wife's cooking is fantastic.
However,  your sister just told me, the reason you are so cranky about everything at the moment, is the last time you tried to get it on with her, you experienced impotence. You just could not get it up to please her . Your lovely sister  said she tried to console  you, and said that you could maybe try again but in the meantime you could continue practicing with your cousin, and then this is what really upset you,  your Uncle Richard caught you with your cousin Tommy, and now your are afraid your genitals may end up in his handbag.  dear dear, what a predicament.

how the fuck do u land if ur faLLING HEAD FIRST. i cant even surf the shore break when its like 5 feet . becuz i almost broke my fucking neck one time. very easy to do becuz you forget how shallow it is when ur mind is just focused on catching a wave.

A island ho came to the main land, cali ,and all the bros were smashing her and she said ,and I quote" You cali boyz got da big dicks" AND she measured from the back. 100% true story, real talk.
RasMike
RasMike - 11 years ago
cont. from below. Now at 43 sec, he is only slightly crouched so lets call that 5 feet. there is room for 2 1/2 more of him above and hes not quite at the bottom so id call that 15 to 18 feet, cali style and very close to actually height.

Old ass argument. It all depends if you choose macho by claiming its small when its bigger than u say or macho by claiming its bigger than u actually rode. If you take a photo right at the beginning ,when guy is at the bottom, and measure it, you get a big claim when the middle and end are much smaller. Lets look at the biggest set on this vid....

Brenden Kaaikala

I actually use the face of the wave. If I can stand two 6ft people on top of each other on the wave then the wave must be 12ft. If the wave is is head height on a 6ft person then the wave must be about 6-8ft high. Also if you consider vernacular a big word then I feel terribly sorry for you. However if use too much common sense let me know and sorry for any confusion. Once again a haole talking out of their ass. I think everybody should follow Hawaii's way of measurement since we invented it.

Typically, many people from the mainland (such as myself) will call a wave by the height of its face. when in Hawaii and other places will judge it by the height of the back. Not rocket science, just different vernacular.......Did I use too big of words ? sorry for any confusion

No we have beach similar to this on Lanai. I hate when people say 20ft when it's barely 10ft. We had 15ft+ come in this past May I'm curious to hear what Cali surfers would call it. I hear them talk about 20ft waves and you know they're talking out their ass.

On top of all this, since we are on the subject of surf history, did Hawaiian's plan on surfing becoming a corporate sponsored sport and would the original surfer's approve of what the sport has become? No, and this red bull shit is just a step in the wrong direction for surfing. You know the 100's of people that flock to Oahu every winter? You can thank companies like Red Bull. Can we at least agree on that.
calihapa
calihapa - 11 years ago
No, some guy, I forgot his name... a white guy, introduced surfing in California in early 1900's as a publicity effort for a railroad connecting LA to Huntington, and yes he was from Hawaii. How I know all this is bc I volunteered at the surf history museum in HB. Duke was born 1890 and died in the 60's. No disrespect, if I ever went to Hawaii I would not even think twice about telling Hawaiian's how to be Hawaiian. It just sucks that what we call 30 feet, Jamie is calling 10.

if it wasnʻt for Duke Kahanamoku, one of the Hawaiians who saved the sport of heʻenalu from missionary ignorance and extinction as well as spread the sport all over the world as an ambassador of aloha, you would have never heard about surfing....oh and he measured waves "Hawaiian style"
calihapa
calihapa - 11 years ago
First surfers were from the Southern Polynesian regions. Hawaiians were part of the first surfers, but definitely not the first surfers, and definitely not the inventors. Of course the Westerner's believe the Hawaiians were the first because half of us don't even know what Polynesians are, so we group them into Hawaiians, and needless to say, Hawaiians will claim it too. And actually the first observed surfer's were in Tahiti.

Excuse me? How was I a douche about it? The Wedge is not in Hawaii. All I'm saying is that the Hawaiian method doesn't make any sense when you're talking about the actual break. It makes sense when you refer to the swell.
sevenrats
sevenrats - 11 years ago
yeah yeah yeah. And the easter bunny is coming next week too.
sevenrats
sevenrats - 11 years ago
But there's no point in saying it that way. If you see the buoy data it says the swell heights and you know when you get to the beach the faces will be bigger than that. Standing on the beach looking at 10 foot faces is 10 foot. Who cares what the swell heights are then?
sevenrats
sevenrats - 11 years ago
Then say 20 foot face. Nobody surfs the back of the wave. If you get pitched off the lip you fall 20 feet onto your head. It's 20 feet.

Boogie 8806 - 11 years ago
measuring wave height hawaiian style is measuring the open ocean height of the swell. so 10 foot hawaiian = 10 feet of pure open ocean swell. Now once that swell hits a beach, reef, point, sandbar whatever the energy and swell of the ocean is displaced upwards and the height of the face of the wave increases to double (roughly) the open swell height. so 10 foot hawaiian equates to a 20 foot face. back of the wave is the term used referring to back set.

I remember when it was just us bodysurfers at The Wedge, before we ever saw a boogie board or knew what one was... then one day George Greenough showed up with his "body board" and things began to change fast after that. NEVER thought I'd ever see it surfed.
Aaron Goodman
Aaron Goodman - 11 years ago
thanks! actually i thought this was the standard way of measuring surf. I grew up in Southern California and this is how all the adults in my family told us to measure the wave, and also how the lifeguards would measure it. But hawaii is rad, and is a culture founded on the ocean, so i guess its hawaiian in origin.
Aaron Goodman
Aaron Goodman - 11 years ago
what does he mean by 10ft hawaiian? If a buy a roll of measuring tape at Home Depot in Los Angeles, is it no good when im in Hawaii? Is there a converter i can buy? Hopefully someone can read this and give me the rude condescending answer im looking for. PS, im a kook.

You aren't paying attention... He said "...I'd say 10 feet Hawaiian ONE set was and I wanted one so bad but I was in the wrong spot..." and the wave pictured then is pretty damn close to that. Keep in mind, Jamie is about 6'1" so using him as a size reference you can easily see waves were solid 4-6 foot Hawaiian on average and I'm sure a few sets came in that were bigger like he said. He's just stoking on a fun session.
