I charged down to Malibu for a June 7th South swell. The waves were good and the crowd was sheer chaos... as usual. I'm stoked to finally score fun waves again!
Thanks for watching. I'm Brad Jacobson and I'll sea ya on the sand.
Music (in order of appearance): Ruiqu Zhao, Laurence Lee Murphy, Belka and Strelka and Par Hagstrom.

I think that your idea of a surf contest crowded with regular people is a great idea honestly.

One of my fondest surf memories is a night sesh at Malibu I shared with my brother back in the 80s, about 3am with a full moon and the most bioluminescent algae I've encountered in 50+ years in the ocean. Our arms glowed as we paddled, the boards leaving a wake like a romulan space ship and the feathering waves easy to see as they peeled bright green.... amazing!!

@michaelfarar4232 5 месяцев назад

Ditto. Full moon fog less with a moderate south swell between 2nd and 1st point late 70s and 80s. Fish cruise by illuminated.

@mark703 Год назад

I love the way when they drop in they just look straight ahead and dont even look to see if anyone is on it. Its like if I dont look, i cant see you.

Suring my whole life. I surfed Malibu one time and that was enough for me. Felt like I was on the 405 fwy in rush hour.

@krusher74 Год назад

I was lucky that i caught it on a knee/waist hight swell that just popped up at the end of a day 2 hours before dark, there was only about 10 in but i still had to fight for every wave as about 5 of them had 10ft logs and wanted to snake for every single wave going!!!!

@juliotorres3618 Год назад

@howdy1487 Год назад

Malibu needs some enforcers to re-establish order like the Wolfpak. Name suggestions for Malibu enforcers: Veganpak, Kalepak, Powercrystalspak, Hempak...

@RobCummings Год назад

Yea, it's a beautiful longboard wave, but I don't think I'd even paddle out. Too much traffic.

@tuskedbeast Год назад

What a weird dystopian variation of surf culture to fit that spot. Particularly struck by the serial drop in with the bright red cap kneeboarding on a longboard. I hate to think of it spreading to other breaks as it gets even more crowded everywhere.

@nternetrat Год назад

i will NEVER forget a gloomy, slightly drizzly day I decided to go to Malibu it was... the best session to date in my short 4 year career. There was like FOUR people out, 3-4 foot perfect waves.... I got like 5 or 6 perfect waves, I could not believe it :):)

@Bryan-jd7os Год назад

I'm born and raised in Southern California, surfing for 45 years in Los Angeles and Ventura Counties. There used to be a pecking order at Malibu and some sort of etiquette. It appears that is totally out the window! I haven't surfed Malibu in years. Ever since they diverted the creek and ruined Kiddie Bowls, 2nd and 3rd points. This is a total clown show! 🤡 😂 like Brad said, definitely fun to watch! 😂😂😂 I know Allen still gets his share.

@michaelfarar4232 5 месяцев назад

@Bryan-jd7os I remember way back in the day surfing 3rd, and it was pumping. I had the peak, and Sarlo had a wave caddie in between and as soon as I dropped in, the wave caddie dropped in kicking his board in front of me, and im going down then Sarlo dropped in afterward. Lol. Late 70s I think.

@jackcirrito3458 Год назад

Surfed there a lot. When second and third we’re good. But even after that almost exclusively for three summers. As a short boarder I jumped on the long board and got plenty waves. Totally worth it and very fond memories. Yeah and Sarlo was there the whole time. 🙃😵‍💫 This is one of your best videos Brad.

You can’t even go to the most out of the way middle of fukn nowhere and 200 surfers are living there. What a run though. It’s a much different world now. Grew up in Boynton Beach Florida before I-95 was built. Grew up in paradise and didn’t even know it.

"It's hard to get a wave to yourself." Proceeds to film 20+ guys getting waves to themselves.

@johnfaris5376 11 месяцев назад

I grew up in the valley and I’ve probably searched Malibu 100 times. The wave is epic and I’ve had my best surf adventures ever there. But on a good day when the waves are head high, it’s a complete zoo with 50 or 60 guys in the water. People getting run over, fights, shouting matches, are not uncommon. It’s not really surfing, It’s just survival. The only way to have fun at Malibu is Catch it at off times and hours. Now and then when the crowd is low its stellar.

@ttank7241 Год назад

@calfolk7381 4 месяца назад

Here’s the deal at Malibu: 10 guys paddle for the same wave, 4 won’t catch it, 3 don’t know what they’re doing, 1 eats it, and the last guy either kicks-out or ends up riding it in all the way with you 🤙🏼

@gregh3248 Год назад

Malibu on a crowded day is "Chinese Downhill" on the water. I grew up surfing there and Topanga and the rest of the breaks between Hollywood by the Sea to The South Bay. in the 1980's Hollywood by the sea was the most radicalized, locals only beach in the entire state. We would get into fights all the time, friends would have their tires slashed and side mirrors broken. Kowabunga!

Malibu is fun but so darn crowded. I would say that the wave wraps much more than other waves, so that when I've looked over my shoulder before going, I legitimately have not seen anyone if someone is way up the line.

@William-Bill-Munny Год назад

I remember summers in the early 80's at the HB pier when you could still pick up a garage sale longboard for $50. The more ugly the better - an answer to crowd control and light weight glass jobs. Eventually everyone knew you didn't care about dings and most would would get out of your way... well except for maybe Waterman who snaked everyone then yelled at them for dropping in, Colby Outlaw or Bud Llamas. Sometimes I miss HB but only when I know Santa Ana's and a 6-8 foot south swell is going off.

@guysmithson1835 Год назад

@BradJacobson Год назад

@buddygreenbloom5779 Год назад

This is Topanga on an average day. All the kooks sit inside on the shoulder and if you get in deep you better high line past them and cut back into a makable section if God is with you.

@wasabiginger6993 Год назад

😂 … love your humorous and classic take. My mom used to surf this in late 50’s and saw how some dealt with drop ins … with razor blades placed into tips of some boards … a slice to whatever body part of a drop in scored on a point system with the head being highest score. And then there was Dora. I was too young, fortunately!

@thomassawicki2065 Год назад

Brad , why were those waves unridden ? Because on a long period South swell , the wait between sets always lures the crowd inside because the feeding frenzy is contagious. If you are 20 yards too far inside, you don't have a prayer of catching a good wave. I used this knowledge to score on countless waves. Patience Grasshoper .
