   A wedge is a triangular shaped tool, a portable inclined plane, and one of the six simple machines. It can be used to separate two objects or portions of an object, lift up an object, or hold an object in place. It functions by converting a force applied to its blunt end into forces perpendicular ( normal) to its inclined surfaces.

   The Wedge is one of the most unique surf breaks in the world. Located in Newport Beach, California, it’s a thrill seeker magnet and staple to the evolution of Southern California surf culture. Professional surfers, bodyboarders, and skimboarders travel from far and wide to try and tame this crazy, unpredictable wave that can reach heights of 30 ft.

   What is a wedge used for?

   • A narrow wedge with a relatively long taper, used to finely adjust the distance between objects is called a gib, and is commonly used in machine tool adjustment. The tips of forks and nails are also wedges, as they split and separate the material into which they are pushed or driven; the shafts may then hold fast due to friction.
