Wade in the Water: A Journey into Black Surfing and Aquatic Culture

A Celebration of Legendary Black Surfer Nick Gabaldon & the 1,000-year-old tradition of Black surfing and aquatic culture.

Join us on Sunday, June 8th, for a special event at the Historic Adamson House as we celebrate the legacy of Nick Gabaldón, the first documented Black surfer and his enduring impact on the history of surfing and racial inclusivity. Gabaldon became a legend when he regularly paddled 12 miles roundtrip from the Inkwell, the designated Black beach in Santa Monica, to Surfrider beach in Malibu in order to catch better waves. A talented surfer with a warm personality, Gabaldon broke barriers in the Malibu surf community.

The evening begins with an engaging talk moderated by filmmaker David Mesfin with panelists including surfer and activist Rick Blocker, filmmaker Richard Yelland, and a video appearance by acclaimed female surfer Vickie Williams who knew Gabaldon personally. The panelists will delve into Gabaldón's life, his connection to the Southern California coast, and the broader significance of his contributions to cultural and social history.

Following the talk, we’ll screen the inspiring documentary Wade in the Water: A Journey into Black Surfing and Aquatic Culture. This film explores the rich history of Black surfers and watermen, highlighting the powerful intersections of race, identity, and the ocean.

Event Time: The event begins at 6:30pm, but we invite you to join us at 5:30pm for free mini tours of the Historic Adamson House, to have time to park, and to set up your picnic area for the event.

Parking: Parking dedicated to this event is available at Malibu Lagoon State Beach (8-minute walk to the Historic Adamson House, 0.3 mile) and Malibu Library (15-minute walk to the Historic Adamson House, 0.6 miles). You can also park in any public parking found in Malibu, just be mindful of posted signs (some lots close at sunset). Carpooling encouraged!

Bring: Bring blankets, lawn chairs (standard size) or picnic blankets, and snacks! This is an outdoor venue with sweeping views of Malibu’s famous Surfrider beach and Malibu Lagoon.

A documentary film that delve into the 1,000-year-old tradition of Black surfing and aquatic culture from Africa to the Americas.

A homeless guy, who later reveals his name is Thomas, is seen acting abnormal on the Venice Beach Boardwalk. After inetacting with a few people, he heads towards a beach maintenance working screaming at him about his missing belongings, to which the worker tells hi that all unattended items were dissposed off. This sends Thomas into an angry rage, going after the worker with a metal bar andafter everyone who tried to defuse the situation. Eventually, Thomas retreats to the public restrooms. The police arrive and are unable to get him out of the restroom stall. Afer a long standoff, they manage to pull him out and try to get him into a police truck, but can't.

On May 21, 2025, the Malibu City Council unanimously approved contracting with a private security firm to provide 24/7 armed patrols in neighborhoods impacted by the Franklin and Palisades Fires. This proactive measure is part of the City’s continuing efforts to protect the fire-affected areas as Pacific Coast Highway (PCH) reopens to the public on May 23 and the California National Guard demobilizes from Malibu.

After a formal Request for Proposals process, the security firm Covered 6 was chosen based on their extensive experience patrolling neighborhoods, working with the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department (LASD) Malibu-Lost Hills Station personnel, and use of technology to enhance effectiveness and accountability. Their strong relationship with Malibu-Lost Hills Station personnel will support seamless cooperation given the imminent re-opening of PCH.

The patrols are intended to supplement law enforcement efforts by the LASD Malibu-Lost Hills Station and to ensure continuous public safety coverage during a critical recovery phase. Fire-damaged areas face heightened risks of burglary, vandalism, and theft – particularly of construction materials – as many properties remain vacant during rebuilding.

In coordination with LASD, Covered 6 will deploy four patrol units and a dedicated supervisor, operating in marked vehicles. These patrols will respond to public safety incidents, assist with community engagement, and work closely with LASD personnel.

Additionally, LASD 6 will enhance its presence on PCH through high visibility patrols, strict law enforcement, and undercover operations. Looter suppression efforts will be intensified, with zero-tolerance approach to crime and traffic violations. LASD is also coordinating with the California Highway Patrol and other agencies to ensure a safe and orderly reopening of the highway.

Residents are urged to take an active role in protecting their properties. Homeowners and business owners impacted by the fires are encouraged to complete a “Letter of Agency” at the Malibu-Lost Hills Sheriff’s Station. This document authorizes deputies to enforce trespassing laws on private property in the owner’s absence. This means officers can take action against unauthorized individuals without contacting the property owner first.

LASD advises property owners to secure their property (ensure gates, doors, and windows are locked), report suspicious activity to LASD at 818-878-1808 if they observe unauthorized individuals on their property.

New video from Real Skate Stories.

"Skateboarding is built on progression—and few have pushed it forward like Natas Kaupas.

In this deep dive into skateboarding’s untold history, we explore the era of early NBDs—Never Been Done tricks—and how they shaped the technical evolution of street skating in the late 1980s. Before modern setups, street pioneers were landing groundbreaking tricks on oversized decks, wide trucks, and wheels meant for vert ramps—not the street.

Featuring legendary skater Natas Kaupas, this video pays tribute to the innovators who adapted freestyle tricks to the urban environment, unlocking terrain that no one thought was skateable. From the first wall rides to the early days of flip tricks, we break down how NBDs laid the foundation for everything we see in skateboarding today—from Thrasher covers to Olympic-level street runs."

Pacific Coast Highways is now open to everyone, including biicycles. This is a bike ride up PCH through the newly re-opened burn zone.

As Pacific Coast Highwayreopens to all, here is a tour looking at the progress made on the wildfire clean along the coast in Malibu.
