Talking beach days in socal :)

so this is just some fun in the sun down here in socal... usually the waves dont get this big... but everyonce and a while the man up stairs likes to throw up some pretty good sized waves... and i was just lucky enough to take some pictures of this.

location: newport california
beach: THE WEDGE
disclaimer: DO NOT ATTEMPT. these waves are very powerful and dangerous. these waves can and will take lives.





and the fans... watching mother natures madness take place..

Great Captures Mark, I grew up in Sandiego and have been to the wedge! I've never seen waves this size though. I see some Crazy's out there, they must be Goooood!
Thanks for Sharing these
Michael.

Woweeee These captures are absolutely amazing. They are enormous. You should be so proud of these photographs and should send them to a surfing magazine.
Outstanding work EXILER
