Description

This is one of the crazy bodysurfers at the Wedge in Newport Beach, California. A couple of times every years, the surf gets BIG and these guys just go for it. Some of these waves were probably 20 footers!! Thought you'd love this one, Andrew!!

Cheers. I've been to the wedge, but honestly there was NO WAY I was going into that!!! How they avoid breaking their necks I don't know!!!! I was a chicken and stayed firmly on the beach. GREAT SHOT.

I have no clue how bodysurfers do it...I know they have special fins, but still...With Andrea, this is amazing: You zeroed-in on an amazing moment, and the waves above, and the biggggg open wave below, make this a Grand Canyon for surfing...You're so attuned to these ocean shots, you get them with your eyes closed. I know you probably go through lots of shots to get the right one, all action photographers do. But you get the perfect shot repeatedly, where I wouldn't get any. A big plunging shot, and great for Andrew. Wonderful piece, Marilyn. Always great when you come back here...

In the 1960s people would get hurt surfing the Wedge so the city father dredged the bottom to tame it. Looks like they may have to dredge again. This is a superb action shot and the crop is outstanding.
