When there’s a big south in the water, Newport’s finest mutant turns into that beautiful beast that she is. The Wedge attracts a crowd, and for good reason–its warping, thumping barrels end in some of the most spectacular wipeouts anywhere. And when someone makes it out of those sandy black death pits, its akin to a lion beating the tamer.
