VOLUNTEER ORIENTATION

SUNSET POINT BEACH CLEANUP
2PM - 5PM
Do you have what it takes to be a local Coastal Defender? Join Surfrider LA tomorrow for the final Core Volunteer Orientation of the year where you'll have an opportunity to meet SFLA Chapter leadership and learn about all the campaigns and programs Surfrider LA is working on. From climate change to beach access to plastic pollution, water quality, and coastal preservation, it's a perfect opportunity to discover how you can get involved in local efforts to protect our ocean, waves and beaches. Bring a beach chair or blanket for the hour-long orientation, and some sturdy shoes for what will be a gnarly cleanup along the rocks at Sunset Point.
After the cleanup, all are welcome to join in at Tallula's Restaurant - one of our favorite Ocean Friendly joints - for special happy hour bites and bevvies. So, orientation from 2-3pm, cleanup from 3-5pm, happy hour straight after. Look for everyone on the east end of the Gladstone's parking lot under the blue Surfrider tents. See you there!
The Los Angeles Fire Department ordered mandatory evacuations Monday as a fire ripped across a hillside in the affluent Pacific Palisades area, threatening multimillion-dollar homes. "This is due to both potential fire and smoke behavior" and the pending arrival of large aircraft dropping fire retardant, LAFD said in a news release.
The fire began around 10:30 a.m. PST at the base of Palisades Drive and quickly spread about 18 acres within 15 minutes. It quickly moved uphill and burned more than 40 acres of brush. About 200 homes within eight residential blocks were under threat from the flames and have been heavily impacted by smoke, said LAFD Chief Patrick Butler during a press conference.
There have been two reported injuries, one minor injury to a firefighter and one civilian who was taken to the hospital for respiratory stress, Butler said.
M+B is pleased to announce Silver. Skate. Seventies., an exhibition of black and white photographs by Hugh Holland on the occasion of the release of his latest monograph published by Chronicle Chroma Books. The exhibition includes never-before-seen photographs from Holland’s archives, including some of his earliest photographs documenting the rise of the Southern California skateboard revolution in the 70s. The exhibition runs from October 19 to November 9, 2019, with an opening reception and book signing on Saturday, October 19 from 4 to 7 pm.
Having spread from its roots as a small counter-culture activity, skateboarding has now permeated society, leaving its footprint on global culture. Initially considered an anarchic form of self-expression practiced by a small band of outcasts, skateboarding exploded on the west coast of America in the late 70s and 80s coinciding with the emergence of US punk rock. Beginning in 1975, photographer Hugh Holland masterfully captured the burgeoning culture of skateboarding against a sometimes harsh, but always sunny Southern California landscape. These iconic images were first inspired on a late afternoon when Holland drove up Laurel Canyon Boulevard and encountered skateboarders carving up the drainage ditches along the side of the canyon. From suburban backyard haunts to the asphalt streets that connected them, Los Angeles was the place the birthplace of the legendary Dogtown and Z-Boys skateboarders. With their requisite bleached-blond hair, tanned bodies, tube socks and Vans, these young outsiders evoke the sometimes reckless, but always exhilarating origins of skateboarding culture.
In Silver. Skate. Seventies., Hugh Holland presents a raw, spontaneous understanding to his well-known color photographs of the 1970’s skating scene. Holland shot these negatives while experimenting with new ideas, and often, for his own enjoyment. These early black and white images were in many ways the genesis for his later color works—providing us with a rare glimpse behind the creative curtain.

The Malibu-based production company Planet Grande and the City of #Malibu invite all residents to attend a free community screening of the documentary film “Johnny Strange: Born To Fly,” Thursday, October 24, 7:30 PM to 9:30 PM at Malibu City Hall.
The 80-minute film documents Johnny Strange, who grew up in Malibu and became an international extreme sports athlete, known for mountain climbing, big wave surfing and extreme skydiving until he was tragically killed in a skydiving accident. The film was directed by Eamon Harrington and John Watkin and produced by Veronica Brady, all Malibu residents.
Johnny Strange rose to fame as the youngest person to climb the tallest mountain in each continent, including Mt. Everest when he was just 17 years old. When he discovered BASE jumping (skydiving from buildings, antennae, spans and earth) and wingsuit flying, he found his life’s true passion. Taken from hundreds of hours of Johnny’s personal video archive, and featuring intimate insights from family members, friends and Johnny himself, the film traces his journey from the world’s highest mountains to one of the world’s most dangerous sports, and the dramatic turn of events leading up to his final jump.
The screening will be followed by a question and answer session. The event is free to attend, but an RSVP is required. To RSVP or for more information, visit Born To Fly Documentary Screening or email Kriesgo@malibucity.org.
Forecast from Surflies: "North Pacific Busts Open -- South Pacific Not Done"
"Strong NW swell kicks off the second half of the month for Northern California, with SoCal getting a little energy as well"
Which means North CA is getting waves, like usual, and Socal is not, like usual.
"South Pacific Swell: SW shifting SSW swell (210-195) continues Thursday before slowly trending down on Friday. Exposed breaks in North LA will see waist high surf during that time. Those waves fade heading through the weekend, although we will be watching for new SSW swell to fill in."
"This larger SSW swell (205-190) should build in through the day on Sunday with long period forerunners, peak on Monday the 21st and then slowly back down through the middle part of the week. The storm behaved very close to model guidance over the past few days with satellite verified seas of 30-40′, although it’s less than ideal track – moving sideways in relation to SoCal, versus at us- should limit size some."
Surfing is more fun with friends!
