The first pumping swell at The Wedge in Newport beach and it’s massive! This is raw footage of the big surf all filmed on 4-12-2025. Surfers, bodyboarders, body surfers and mat riders charging on what has been the Simpson swell. This bigger than expected swell was sent from Wedge icon and legend bodysurfer Fred Simpson (R.I.P.) who recently passed away and so happened to hit on the day of his paddle out.
