Actually, having grown up at the Wedge, it's more about the END of the drop in the shore-break. More than once, I had my face ground into
the sand.woody with a view - 6-12-2013 at 11:57 AM

My goal was always to try and avoid that. Take the drop, make my cut and hopefully duck out the

I'm not a surfer nor do I play one on TV, but that was an awesome video! Makes me want to take up the sport!BajaDanD - 6-15-2013 at 01:08 AM
spent a lot of time as a kid watching people trying to drown themselves at the wedge, I never had the balls. Was always fun to watch though.
Watched my brother nearly drown there once.
My grand parents owned a house off Balboa blvd. and 15th street. I fished off that jetty a lot of times. Used to catch some big Bonito there.watizname - 6-16-2013 at 07:33 AM
As a gremmie, I remember sitting in high school auditoriums in Ventura, and Santa Barbara with Bruce Brown on the stage showing one of his earlier
films and doing all the monologue live. There was usually a segment on the Wedge, and he would make all these wierd sound effects, when guys would go
over the falls or get smashed into the sand. Really funny stuff. I also remember that most of the guys were bodysurfing. Before Morey came up with
the Boogie. Never had the huevos for it. Marc - 6-29-2013 at 11:19 AM
