Inspired by the most notorious surfing spot in Newport Beach, this logo communicates visually the danger that's part of surfing in the wedge.

It's a spot at the end of the balboa peninsula. Sometimes it looks calm, so u get in... but then u get hit with a set of 7-8 humungous waves, and you know what scary is.... the currents are such that when u get hit with the 1st wave, there's no going back (hence the name - the Wedge - you're stuck!). You cannot get out of the water. After every wave you take, the currents pull u to the sweet spot where the ocean can hit again. You have to take the whole set of waves.... and when u survive it, it's the greatest feeling.......... the logo is meant to CHALLENGE swimmers and surfers, by beating on their FEAR chord. Ofcourse, it's a token of pride and honor for those who have been there too. The actual wedge - the red triangle thingy - (it's a piece of wood that carpenters use to push 2 things apart in a snug position) is symbolic of the surfing spot. The skull symbolizes death naturally. It can get really dangerous there. If u dont know how to survive a wipe out, u can hurt yourself. u can drown too.

This logo is not for sale. kremesti.com intends to market it with exclusive distribution rights.

"Mutant Breakers" - Article from "Where - Orange County", Summer 2000 Issue - Page 41

At the Wedge, at the end of the Balboa Peninsula, the south swells of summer can conspire with the jetty to create mutant breakers up to 35 feet, attracting bodysurfers, bodyboarders, and scads of spectators. In fact, the Wedge is one of the world's most famous bodysurfing and bosyboarding spots. Beside the surf, dangers include currents, riptides and other folks in the water, who can be very territorial. Watch, but unless you really know what you're doing, don not venture out.
