"Hurricane Frank just hit Malibu and sent a full day of pumping surf back to LA. After being let down by the last Code Red 2 Swell. Frank showed up with some of the best surf to hit California. Hurricane season is in full effect and with the US open going strong this week Hurricane Frank couldn't have showed up at a better time. Started seeing clips roll in, seems like Newport and the wedge also go a solid session this morning. I appreciated all the love and comments from my last code red video, you all had some good/hilarious comments and kept me busy all week. I was in the middle of another street photography video but when this swell made a favorable track towards California I loaded up my gear and got back down to Malibu."

From Brad Jacobson:

" Malibu got really good on Wednesday July 20th. The waves were stacking all the way through... and yeah, it was super crowded.

I headed to Malibu to catch the Code Red Swell and decided to try something new, film off the end of the Malibu pier. The waves were really good and the angle turned out to be just right.

Thanks for watching. I'm Brad Jacobson and I'll see ya on the sand."

"Code Red 2 Swell sends 7 Days of super fun surf to Malibu California. Spent a full weeks surfing and shooting photos of the Code Red 2 swell. After watching how the swell tore through the south pacific nailing Tahiti and Hawaii. Every Californian was waiting with anticipation for this run of waves. On arrival it was much smaller than originally forecasted, but I have to say from sun up to sun down for 7 days straight we had good surf. Malibu was running from the top of the point to the pier on Tuesday with every day around it producing super fun surf. Its been 10 years since the first Code Red swell hit and I have my fingers crossed we link into a good late season here in California."

"Code Red 2 Largest south swell in years slams into the west coast. After massive surf in both Tahiti and Hawaii the code red 2 swell arrived in California. 4 days of perfect surf from sunrise to sunset. I knew I needed to capture all angles of the swell so I brought all my surf and camera gear and made a few days of it. Malibu is one of the best waves in California when its working and for these few days it was perfect. Koa Rothman, Luke davis, and Taro Watanabe were some of the standouts of the swell. Beach was packed with people from all up and down the coast. Massive waves crashed into the pier and lots of people had to be rescued over the week. Hope you enjoy"

A group of six black males and females looted the Maxfield store on Tuesday July 12 at 2 p.m. The high end luxury store is located in the Malibu Lunberyard Shopping Center.

Lost Hills Sheriff’s Station reports the looters stole almost $500,000 worth of merchandise. No one was injuried in the robbery. The suspects wore masks and hoodies, and took off in 2 separate vehicles, that no one got the plate numbers of.

This is just one of several similar felony robberies in the LASD jurisdiction. Investigators do not know if this is the same group.

From Brad Jacobson:

"It's no secret that Malibu (Surfrider Beach) gets crowded but do days like this make it worth it?
I headed to Malibu on Friday July 1st, 2022 for the holiday weekend swell.
One of the key factors that makes Malibu so crowded is the wave. It's basically a fun wave for every type of surfer making it accessible to everyone. It's a non-discriminating wave.


Thanks for watching. I'm Brad Jacobson and I'll see ya on the sand."
