The Wedge Pumps

26 Aug

At the bottom of a beast at the Wedge in Newport Beach

Did he make it?


The Wedge has been pumping. Many of the usual suspects where in the lineup such as the Wedgendary (thanks Ghetto Surf) Spencer Pirdy, Bobby Okvist, Rad Chad, Victor Done and Jarrod Cassidy to name a few. There was even a cameo by Keith Malloy, who pulled one of the steepest drops of the day. Here’s some shots of the Wedge on the morning of August 25th, 2010 from our photographer, Nick Meistrell. Enjoy and let’s hope more swell is on the way.
