Noah Hill decided to make some videos about how to improve your surfing.

"Here is the most highly requested video topic, how to do airs. I hope you enjoy."
For the month of March, we got a ton of surf photos from a bunch of days at different spots, from Venice up to County Line.

Below is the list of Surf Spots with the days we got photos for during the entire month of March. Each link will take you to the page with a few surf photos and at the bottom of those photos there will be a link to that photographer's gallery where you can find all the surf photos for that day (many times there's well over 100 photos to check out). Most of these photographers offer high-res downloads and prints for sale.

Just in case you were curious, here are the average water temps as of March 30th.


The dude from the movie Superbad and one of Will Smith's kids (pictured above) are each making headlines internationally on all the main-stream media sites (MSN, Daily Mail, etc...) for surfing "Malibu" during the Stay At Home Order. They're becoming the "faces of surfer rebellion in the time of Coronavirus!", according to Beach Grit.

Not that any of us care, but it's a local surf story (kind of), so why not post about it.

The Superbad dude was actually at Sunset, but to those reporters, any place north of Will Rogers has to be called Malibu.

Other than that, if you're also a skater, Superbad dude made a cool movie about being a skater in the 1990's. It's called Mid90s and it's free to watch on Amazon if you have Amazon Prime .



ChrisDidThis shoots a lot of surf photos at many of the Malibu spots. He has set up a GofundME page to help support his surf photography:

Surfers!
Can you help me share those moments of that sweet adrenal high coming off a lip, on the nose, or cutting up the face? Let's get you an image of glory and grace that can be displayed on MagicSeaWeed, other communities or your coffee mug and reflected upon in dryer times to inspire strength and joy. Let's get pics of people doing what they love into the world !

Challenge: It takes better gear to get better photos/video. An upgrade from my old Canon 650D to a Canon 80D camera in very good condition runs almost $800, but there's also extra batteries, gas, better software, filters... Seriously, the 80D's better Auto-focus and dynamic range will give us better views of those tremendous moments in the wild wet crush! I've already invested in serious lenses and other gear, but you know what sand and salty spray do to things



It's great to be able to contribute to the surfing community. You can already download your pics for free at : https://chrisdidthis.smugmug.com/
