Mother Nature was very kind to us in California this year. She delivered a run of early season south swells that lit up a few spots along the California coast that usually don’t break this time of year. Without those swells, the Wedge wouldn’t have worked. And if the Wedge didn’t work, we wouldn’t be able to enjoy these brutal wipeouts. So, thank you Mother Nature, and thank you to the brazen psychopaths who decided to take a few savage beatings for everyone’s enjoyment.
