Out Front: Los Angeles

When the pioneering architect Frank Lloyd Wright famously said, “tip the world on its side and everything loose will land in Los Angeles,” he was speaking about the city’s hodgepodge of culture, ideas, and personalities.
But from a surfing standpoint - particularly when it comes to variety of waves - LA isn’t quite so diverse.
It is, however, an essential pit stop on surfing’s historical road trip. From Venice Beach and the radical innovation of the Z-Boys, to the South Bay and its mélange of golden-era longboarders and shapers - surfing has a steeped history on the westward reaches of La La Land. And then, of course, there’s Malibu. (Technically a separate city, but part of LA County.) The legendary heyday from the 1940s to the mid-1960s, and continued significance when a solid south swell rolls through town, of the famed righthander cannot be ignored.
So, kick back, hit play on the edit above, and watch a visual celebration from filmmaker Mike Pagan - featuring locals and transplants Dane Zaun, Noah Collins, Dillon Perillo, Allen Sarlo, Mitch Crews, and more - showcasing the life of surfers in the City of Angels.
