The Inertia

We all know how dangerous The Wedge can be, but the vast majority of the perspectives we see are from shore – sea level, to be exact – making its violence readily apparent. However, even when filmed from above, the Wedge maintains its strong air of neck-snapping barbarity. Regardless, we commend those bodysurfing, bodyboarding and surfing this wave. Bravo, you daredevils.

This video was made in memory of Newport Beach lifeguard Ben Carlson who tragically passed away in the line of duty on July 6 after a 10-12 foot wave drowned him.
