The Inertia

Just around the west jetty of the entrance to Newport Harbor lies a freak of a wave. We know her as the Wedge. Not quite her twin – let’s call them cousins – a break called Cylinders sits one tick west. Like the Wedge, Cylinders is ruthless but often gets overshadowed and lumped together as part of the same break. It is not. She has her own identity as a board-eating right-hander that often breaks right on the sand.

Recently, Mason Ho made his way to California to tempt fate and duel with both waves. Somewhere, the guy who installs Mason’s fin boxes at …Lost is cringing.

*If Mase is going left, that’s the Wedge. If he’s going right, that’s Cylinders.
