The Malibu Library Speaker Series presents shark attack survivor Paul de Gelder at Malibu Library on Tuesday, October 11, 2022, at 7 pm. Registration is required. Register online or call Malibu Library at 310.456.6438.

An elite Australian Navy diver who lost two limbs in a horrific shark attack that changed his life, Paul de Gelder now inspires others to overcome obstacles and champions shark conservation. He has been a long-time co-host on the Discovery Channel’s Shark Week. Triumphing over tragedy by relying on the mantra that he learned as a young paratrooper in the Australian Army, “Improvise…Adapt…Overcome,” Paul has enthralled and motivated audiences around the world.

In his earlier days, de Gelder chased adventure wherever he could find it. In 2000, he joined the military, rising to the elite echelons of the Australian Defence Forces as an Army paratrooper and Navy bomb disposal diver. But in February 2009, trouble hunted him down in the form of a giant bull shark. Attacked while diving for the Navy in Sydney Harbor, he was pulled out of the water barely alive. He lost an arm and a leg and embarked on an extraordinary journey of healing, rehabilitation, and renewal. He later told his story and shared the life-changing lessons gained from his experience in his inspiring autobiography, No Time for Fear .

In the years since the shark attack, de Gelder's life has changed in every aspect. After leaving the navy, he has traveled the world as a top motivational speaker, passionate environmentalist, adventurer, and mentor to school kids. Sharing an adventurous life journey where he “faced pretty much the worst that life can throw at me, and survived and thrived,” de Gelder enthralls, captivates, and leaves audiences motivated to overcome any challenge.

It appears after weeks of residents filing complaints, it took a fire that burned down people's homes to finally get the city to do something about the Venice Blvd homeless encampment:

From Santa Monica Close Up:

"Thousands of people protested on Wilshire Boulevard in Santa Monica on Saturday, October 8, 2022, to demand justice for Mahsa Amini, and to stand in solidarity with Iranian women. Mahsa Amini is a Kurdish woman who died after being arrested in Tehran by the Islamic Republic's morality police on September 20, 2022."

Strange summers in Malibu. Surfing from Highway Ones easiest stop, from Grant Hilling:

From Brad Jacobson:

" Imagine paddling out into an empty Malibu lineup watching near perfect waves roll by unridden. IT HAPPENED THIS WEEK
Ok, there's obviously a catch... you had to be ranked as one of the best longboarders in the world. This must have been what it was like to paddle out at Malibu in the 50's.
Thanks for watching. I'm Brad Jacobson and I'll see ya on the sand."
