This explainer narrated in roughly the style of Bruce Brown explains some of the attraction. It does make for superlative bodyboarding, but high-end bodyboarding is an art of extreme waves (like that video above). The place has a high injury rate, scary number of broken necks, but it apparently isn't Newport Beach's worst spot for fatalities.
