Christian Myers skates down one of the scariest, steepest, and most terrifying roads in Malibu...

Rick seems indifferent to this invasion.

The real life world-wide treasure hunt promotion for the newest season of the Adult Swim TV show, Rick And Morty, began this week. One of the treasures, a statue of Rick on the toilet as a worm wraps around him was found in Malibu, Ca. on Tuesday. For more on this check out: Rick And Morty: Wormageddon.

This was the clue they gave out:

Malibu's Talia Swindal joins the Val Surf surf team.

"No matter if she's in or out of the water, she always has a smile on her face. She's a straight A student, leads her life with a great attitude, and is a true role model while being a positive influence to the up and coming kids. This is Talia Swindal and she is just simply fantastic.

If you haven’t had the pleasure of meeting or surfing with her please keep your eye out for an all smiles, regular footer, blasting her local points here in Northern LA.

Talia won the 2022 USA National Championships this year and has set some major goals for herself in addition to fulfilling her big dreams of continuing her surfing at the highest level.

Val Surf is honored and excited to be on this journey with you and with open arms we welcome you to the team, Talia"

This beautiful board is the brainchild of Ben Thomson, a stylish Malibu local that has a love for purple and gold. The psychedelic design combines subtle shades of Jimi Hendrix, Prince, and the Los Angeles Lakers.

Because Ben likes to combine drop-knee cutbacks with walks to the nose, we created a versatile board that can do a bit of everything. The narrow tail and forgiving rails allow for controlled turns, while the wide nose allows for the occasional noseride. Given it’s versatility, this board will work well for almost any surfer.

This board has the cushy feel of a foamy coupled with the performance/durability of a retro longboard. Gone are the days of waxing up your board or having to worry about rail dings.

The Canyon News reports that person died in a reservoir located at Malibu Creek State park on Thursday, August 11, around 3:00 p.m.

Rescue teams arrived around 2:50 p.m. and were able to pull a person out from the water. Later, that same rescue victim succumbed to the injuries incurred and died.

Detectives from the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department are investigating to see if this accident was a possible homicide.

From Brad Jacobson:

" I'm mixing things up in this episode and throwing you raw surfing clips from a really good day (July 20th) in Malibu.

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

Here's yet another update to what appears to the new popular Malibu drama, The Angriest Man In Surfing.

Andy "The Angriest Man In Surfing" Lyon has spoke with the 25+ year old "kid" and both agreed it's a "matter to be forgotten." Each will fix their own boards.

The "kid" wants to stay out of the spotlight.

“I have respect for the guy. He didn’t go to the cops, he didn’t bitch out," Andy said in an interview, "not like the guy who made the TikTok!”

So now the guy who shot and originally posted the now viral video is being accused of purposedly going after Andy. Of course this is from the pro-Andy crowd.

A person who claims to be a witness went online via the name RedDucky and wrote this:

"The incident has been blown completely out of proportion. Both Andy and the other adult male did not communicate well. They both caught a wave from the previous set, and paddled back up the point together. They were talking about their respective waves. The younger man was paddling faster. A function of age. The older man stopped shy of the top of the point. A wave came and the younger man took off. The older man mistakenly thought the younger man ‘back paddles’ him. (Silly because there were at least 5 other surfers sitting at the top who didn’t go in the last set and had priority (I know because I was one of them.) With that in mind, when all this went down, the guy who shot the video (Shane Lotz) gave a copy to the young man with the yellow board. Guess what? The young man did nothing with the video. But Shane who operates a surf school (crowding the public line up and profiting off it) had a prior heated discussion with the older guy previously so he seized the opportunity to use it against him. He doxed him and engaged in major’ cancel culture, even calling his employer and getting him fired from his job.

Meanwhile the two men directly involved did not call the authorities or get lawyered up. Instead, they met at the young man’s home, shares a cold drink (non alcoholic since neither drinks alcohol) and settled their differences which included fixing boards. Since the two involved moved on everyone else should too!"

The part about Shane running a surf school doesn't hold true though. Someone who knows Shane had this to say:

"Shane doesn’t “operate a surf school” - he gives mellow lessons every now and again to kids and completely stays out of the way - often in that little cove area right in front of the Adamson property. Shane is mellow and nice (but also shreds) - he’s not out there causing trouble. andy brings violence and bad vibes to the line up. period. whenever I see him I just look the other way."

This seems to go in line with what others mentioned about Shane. This person goes on to add"

"Would rather have shane around than andy ffs. You know this isn’t an isolated innocent with Andy. Andy also says some real foul stuff about young women on IG.

The factor of the matter is, the scene at Malibu is not cheering andy on. Nobody is. Nobody likes his vibes. Maybe just some kooks on the internet who think thruster jerk fests are cool and fun. Yesterday a group of older men in the line up were discussing putting Andy in a cage or dog crate or something when I paddled by…"

Here's an update to The Angriest Man In Surfing drama.

Malibu's Andy Lyon, who has been dubbed The Angriest Man In Surfing due to the viral video of his incident with another surfer, has embraced the positive side of all this.

“You know, it’s a good ride right now,” he told the website Beach Grit. “Fucking dealing with all these little punks, keyboard warriors. It’s pretty amazing how stuff goes like this…I’ve become sorta famous I guess.”

Andy went on the Dirty Water Podcast and tells his side of the incident, and more. Listen to the podcast below:



As others have said, the "kid" in the video is in his mid-20s. Andy confirms it in the podcast. He also says the same thing that others that were there that day said, the "kid" was not so innocent in the whole ordeal.

So here's the whole deal on Malibu's Andy Lyon smashing a kid's surfboard drama.

A video with the text "The Angriest Man In Surfing" get posted to Tik Tok, showing a surfer dropping in on a "kid", and burning him. The video then cuts to the argument on the beach where the Angriest Man throws a huge rock onto the kid's surfboad putting a large gash in it. Angriest Man then throws the kid's board out into the water. The video shows the kid going to retrieve his board and shows the damage done to it.

Here is the full video:

After this video was posted, it went somewhat viral.



People were pretty quick to point out who the Angriest Man is.

Several people on Tik Tok, Instagram, and websites where the video was shared, like Reddit, were not only revealing that the surfer was Andy Lyons, they also started posting his Instagram info, which led to a lot of people attacking him via comments to his instageam account.

Andy responded to some of the comments defending his actions:



It didn't stop there, several people on websites discussing the video went as far as to post all his personal information, including addresses and phone numbers, as well as his employer's info. People were spammng his employer's email and social media accounts about Andy. And they were encouraging others to spam as well.

One unknown individual created accounts on Instagram and online, going after Andy with a vengance, posting Andy's person info and encouraging others to go after him and his employer.

"After hearing from locals who are familiar with Andy, it is apparent that this is not an isolated incident. Andy has a reputation for behaving aggressively while surfing, and seems to be under the impression that because he is an OLD local, he has the right to behave this way." is what the person stated.

"We believe that Andy should be held accountable for his actions, and feel that this needs to be brought to the attention of the wider community, as well as the surfing community as a whole, to show that this sort of behavior is not acceptable."

After awhile Andy made his Instagram account private, but wanted to make amends for his actions. Here is his DMs with person who runs the Anti-Andy Instagram:



On Monday morning, Andy's employer posted to their Instagram: "Thank you to the Malibu community for bringing this to our attention." Along with the image below saying that they "parted ways" with Andy:



The kid from the video is still unknown. The person behind the Anti-Andy Instagram account is trying to identify him.

r One source has said the "kid" appears to be in his mid-20s or older, and that he was not being the most innocent of people prior to the filmed incident.

On Monday afternoon, the person running the Anti-Andy Instagram stated: "Andy's friends have been in contact with the person who originally posted the video and threatened and intimidated them. They also claim to have been in contact with the kid in the video, who apparently apologised to Andy for the inconvenience."
