Stacking Lines at Malibu

[@scottmcwave9479]

Great camera angle! I love it when somebody gets one all the way through by themselves! 🤙

[@sneakerset]

Surfing world-famous Surfrider Beach with 300 casual friends only gets better when you're waiting in the lineup...for the shower. Thanks, Brad !!

[@twizzler3b]

Love your style with narration and mellow music, reminds me of Endless Summer, relaxing/fun to watch, a great break in my work day, thank you.

[@brodiwheeler7583]

Surfing has really turned into a shitshow in my lifetime... really takes some dedication and willingness to surf more novel type waves to have them to yourselves or with small crowds. Bummahz.

[@95ern]

I got 21 stitches in my hand surfing this day! Let’s just say a lot of people were out that shouldn’t have been

[@michaelthomas366]

Ha, ha, I'm 64 and first surfed killer Dana point in 1965 when I was seven and then went on to surf southern cal and Hawaii till the late 80"s. Never was it crowded and no kooks out with their whole extended families.

[@timesup4688]

just go ahead and say it, too many damn Kooks out in the water nowadays it has become frustrating and unsafe

[@jeffshimkus9437]

It was the early 70’s and I was working an 8-5 $2.00 an hour job in East LA. Back then I could make it up to Malibu in around a half hour to be in the water before 6:00. No matter the conditions, unless it was completely flat, it was always a great time and never crowded by today’s standards. I’m thankful for those memories!

[@timesup4688]

@@jeffshimkus9437 likewise for me, in the mid and late 70s paddling out Northside Huntington Beach Pier in Petaling out down in Newport Beach it hardly ever got crowded he had waves to yourself those were great days and like you said many great memories, nowadays it's become a fad and everybody's a surfer during the summer. Too many kooks

[@nopity983]

If my beach looked like this, I'm going back home.

[@ross2142]

It’s like watching a bunch of drunken clowns fighting over the only available make up kit. Sickness, the lot of it but, fun to watch for awhile. Thanks.

[@ACCOUNTANTB]

Holly Dam !! - thousands of people each wave ! - but i think it was a joyfull day. Cheers Rio / Brazil.

[@tedcohen5373]

Brad that was a crazy day. Thanks!!! When you’re a HB boy-16th. and Orange, Plastic Fantastic homey crowds are you’re culture-circa 1969 bro!!!

[@gerardnadeau5804]

On Christmas Day 1963, my friend and I were cruising up PCH on the way to C Street in Ventura. When we past Malibu we noticed it was 2 and 3 with only about 6 people in the water. We made a quick U-turn, parked and headed out. On the way out, everybody came in except one person. For about an hour only 3 people surfing nice clean Malibu waves. How’s that for a terrific Christmas present.

[@VoltaDoMar]

props to the bald guy at 5:30 - Looking like an accountant who is still getting out there and shredding waves

[@mikel5582]

The long lines from that swell were completely unforgiving at my local beach break. The jetty sandbar broke it up a little, producing some short reeling lefts but beyond my skill level. A long point like the 'Bu was the obvious call (hence the hoards of bodies in the water). Thanks for sharing. 🤙

[@stephenlepore4476]

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUHHH minus the crowds that looks amazeballz

[@adambane1719]

Bro that music !!!!! 1985 is over man : )

Hey brad. Most beautiful video youve made so far. Catching code red at malibu. That was a winner

[@edwardippoliti626]

Awesome angle for sure ,and the bigger it gets ,the better the picture !!🤙

[@aaronvu6292]

After watching this video, I have more appreciation for my home-breaks, it's not the best in Southern California, but it's fun and people, at least most people followed the rules.

[@coreyfisher2542]

Love that angle. Taro is so good…

[@hawaiifreespeechnews]

400mm is great because it included background and surroundings. 600mm is often overkill, only good for close up slow motion shots

[@paulandbiancaadventures3458]

I’m laid up following surfers ear surgery, enjoying your vids Brad. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

[@clafong9]

Great camera angles. Never seen one from the estuary, though the pier shots are perfect. Used to surf there and man, we thought it was crowded in the 70s.

[@randomstuff9636]

Dang those are huge thanks for the vids I live in San Antonio texas and there is no surf here so I love watching these to remind me of what i am missing

Sorry for your loss

Ahahaha the first kook. The people who surf Malibu by and large don’t deserve that wave.

will you ever drop a skirmish/scuffle compilation? im sure you have some pretty good clips of some altercations. we need it Brad!

[@hensleyhensley511]

[@abideinabba2288]

Great footage that has presentable & narrative knowledge of the sport & locations especially on the platform of KZbin. You should make a surf film.

Great shots.

[@BodhiNDaddy]

Awesome content! So bummed I missed out this swell due to broken leg from skating. Uhhh. Psyched!

[@MK-su6eg]

Just like the LA freeways!

[@ec5522]

surfing in socal is pretty whack now tbh , I hope the internet hasnt ruined most surf spots. I just want mid empty waves, saving what little I can to leave.

I surfed Malibu almost everyday from 1993-98. Crowds are the same.

[@jessesingersongwriter]

Great footage!

[@douglash9364]

Incredible video from the LA Zoo. Er Malibu. Some of the shots of flying boards and bodies made me cringe

[@meagansullivan2654]

I love your videos

[@mikemoloney506]

At the pro surf contest the pros get maybe 5 turns cutbacks etc.... sometimes a giant barrel... at Malibu you can get 15 or more

[@davidpowers69]

Wow, I cant help but notice all the kooks just going for waves people are already riding. They can see them on the wave but still think its a good idea to just go.

[@bradsillasen1972]

It's Malibu, way beyond critical mass :( ...the inevitable world norm.

[@djuliano4484]

Love the camera angle! I’ve only ever surfed Malibu and Rincon 1x ( don’t live in SoCal) . Is it just me or is Rincon way less kooky? My only session there was no where near like this, and it was a good swell.

[@scottmcwave9479]

Probably because Malibu is a summer wave! More kooks everywhere 🙂

[@AuRowe]

Yes. Malibu being closer to LA and more world famous. Plus Rincon has a lot sketchier zones IMO

[@djuliano4484]

@@scottmcwave9479 yeah the summer factor makes sense. Good point

[@latentsea]

David , it’s warm water LA hodads splashing around on a soft but fast wave that breaks in a bath tub. Kook fest since 1960’s but lots of talent and the entire mix out there including naked man in the 80’s 90’s. Don’t know why but Nobody dropped in on him?

[@corychalker]

Shooting from the pier is a really good angle

[@27AUSSIECHAMP]

Great footage. But as for the surfing, all you can do is laugh and be happy we weren't out there getting frustrated as hell. Plus the Russian roulette of weaving between everyone paddling out. Not exactly a relaxing surf sesh. 🤣

[@seangerst6561]

If you could live on an island with a beach just for you and you alone, what wave would you want to be there just for yourself. Like: Malibu, pipeline, shipsterns😂😂

[@sirsurfalot99]

Some decent surfers and a LOT of tryhard NPCs

[@jodo1971]

Nice one Brad !

[@surfwriter8461]

Nothing like crowded conditions to spoil a nice day of good waves. I've ridden waves like this a few times including many years ago at a reef break that will remain unnamed, just me and three or four other people at most during the day. By the way, who is the beauty hanging hanging five at the 5:35 mark? Gorgeous and excellent surfer.

[@y-u-do-yo]

On a really clean wave, i wouldnt be able to handle it. If I'm going to respect your guys's waves you need to respect mine. I have no problem waiting my turn even if it's a long wait, but once it's my turn in position it's my f****** turn.

[@yuridelcastillo220]

I'm the same way. . It's seems like you need to mount a 50 cal on your board these days LOL to get people to follow the rules. . 🌊

[@tock509]

So much traffic!!

[@charlie-km1et]

I like the first angle but I don’t love it. Something in my stomach says no. I do like the Warren Miller esq style of narration however which helps carry me through the not “perfect” angle if there is such a thing. Angle at 6:35 if it was like 5-15 degrees more straight on I feel it would feel better.
