Surf's UP

Newport Beach is famous for the Wedge. The waves were huge last week.


Poem Artwork

Surf’s up along the Wedge, and the crowds gather

Some in amazement, some with jealous eyes,

And a serious few dive right in and swim out

To wait.

 

Crashing. bashing, mashing, power

Roars with each broken crest, pounding the shore,

Only the lucky and the experienced stay the course,

And repeat.

Until the swells pass or their luck runs out.

I was a daredevil in other ways, for some reason the sea never attracted me like it does other folks. Even when I lived in California, I was too busy doing the "sixties'" thing to be bother. Almost drowned in a rip tide at Jones' Beach on Long Island, NY. Loved this dynamic poem though.

I've seen those swells, and you make me want to see them again.

One of the things I always wished I had done in my youth, now the best I can manage is to channel surf and surf the internet.

Looks like dangerous fun to me... Color me a spectator.

We don't get those kinds of waves here in Florida, at least not near me, unless, there's a hurricane a brewin'.

Needless to say, we prefer the lesser ones.

Nicely done Eileen, thanks Dick

Mighty tall waves with a short crash zone. My luck would not last that's why they invented the spectator shoreline. Patrick
