Description
I got this shot at the Wedge, a famous body surfing spot in Balboa, part of Newport Beach, California. This wave was about 20' and it wasn't nearly the biggest of the day. I won't call this guy crazy, but omg, you have to have some nerves of steel to get near these!! The sound was amazing.

Gosh, Marilyn, what a superb photo! Astonishing bravery needed for this, as well as masses of skill, two qualities I lack in this sport!
Wow! That is so impressive. Thanks for sharing.
Coooool!!
Wow! Biggest I've seen from your surf photos... Excellent Job. Aloha
That is awesome and I have found much smaller waves very intimidating but it no longer matters as I am no longer in the game! Cracker shot!
Masterwork!!!
"SURFINNNNG!" (blub-blub) They dredged out the Wedge years ago to make it safer. Imagine what this looked like back in the 1960s. This is truly an exceptional image, Marilyn. Worthy of inclusion in any magazine or gallery wall.
Wow! You have to be crazy to even try!
whoo, crazy
Yikes! I think I'll just watch, thanks; fantastic action shot!
I have some very fond memories of this place. Excellent shot.
Good heavens!

Young bodies bounce much better than, errrr, older bodies. Outstanding shot.
