About The Wedge: Newport's Legendary Break

The Wedge, located at the eastern tip of Balboa Peninsula in Newport Beach, stands as one of the most infamous and photographed surf breaks in the world. When south or southwest swells refract off Newport Harbor's west jetty, they collide with incoming waves to create massive wedging peaks that can tower 20+ feet with twice the normal power. This unique wave phenomenon has made The Wedge the ultimate proving ground for bodyboarders, bodysurfers, and skim boarders since pioneering riders discovered its potential in the 1960s. Legendary bodyboarders like Ron Romanovsky, Terry Wade, Mark Cunningham, and Mike Stewart have cemented The Wedge's status as bodyboarding's most prestigious wave. During prime south swell season (late summer through fall), thousands of spectators line the beach to watch riders take on these freight-train waves that slam onto shore with spectacular force. The Wedge has been featured in countless surf films and viral videos, making it instantly recognizable to surfers worldwide. This shirt honors the legendary break and the fearless wave riders who challenge it, bringing authentic Orange County surf culture to your everyday wardrobe.
