from The Wipeout Weekly - Surf Podcast

One of California's most brutal waves? Never meant to exist. Never meant to be surfed. And yet… here it is. Welcome to The Wedge. In this episode, we explore how a tragic drowning, a 2,000-foot jetty, and some very unlucky wave physics gave birth to one of the most violent, bone-breaking surf spots in the world—Newport Beach's infamous Wedge.
