TOGNAR!
​We reported previously on the huge south swell visiting the Wedge this weekend, but there's nothing like video (or, you know, seeing it up-close in person, I guess) to really convey the strength of the surf. Ever see surfers and body boarders get tossed about in strong waves like little seals? See some impressive wipeouts and check out this video after jump by the equally impressive photographer/videographer Kevin Lara.

never understood the appeal of the wedge.  why not go up to 56th street and get a long ride.  The wedge is just a drop and maybe a bottom turn and then that is it.
