The Wedge, Newport Beach was a morning for the history books. That 20-second period created some long lulls, but when they came through, they came in 10-20 wave sets.
If you know any of the surfers, please comment below, and I will tag them.

Amazing National Anthem performance by Floyd Smith. Every year at the LSU Alumni Crawfish Boil held in San Diego, Floyd Smith a member of the legendary 6x Grammy winning group The 5th Dimension and also the Executive Director for Music Therapy for Veterans performs the National Anthem for the crowd. His deep baritone bass voice gives a powerful rendition of the song, which the crowd goes nuts for each year.
The LSU Alumni Crawfish Boil is held every year at Waterfront Park in San Diego and actually is the nation's largest Crawfish Boil event going through an average of 20k to 25k lbs of crawfish during the event. For more information about next year's event, visit the LSU Alumni of San Diegos page
