Surf’s up and only steps away for a Malibu home designed by the late surf-legend-and-architect Matt Kivlin. Located on the bluffs above Paradise Cove in the gated enclave of Sea Lane, it is for sale at $12.995 million.
Kivlin wasn’t your average beach bum, but a serious surfer turned architect. In 1940, he designed a surfboard out of lightweight balsa wood, known as the Malibu Board, after finding the long Koa wood boards in Hawaii hard to handle. The original boards, which were still used in Hawaii long after statehood, historically were sized at 16 feet for Hawaiian royalty and 12 feet for commoners while Matt’s were only about 9-feet long. Kivlin went from being known as California’s best wave rider in the 1940s and 50s to designing and building over 200 homes, 80 of which were located in Malibu.
Marrying his love of surfing and profession of architecture in a cheerful home that would charm any surfing enthusiast, Kivlin’s home is just down the lane to the Pacific Ocean waves. Now a compound extensively added to by previous owners, the 3/4-acre lot contains the sunny four-bedroom main house and a newly constructed contemporary, fully outfitted guest house with a gourmet kitchen and a separate creative media production space, both connected by a large wrap-around deck. The main house is open and sunny connected to the lushly designed grounds that contain lawn, pond, fountain, fire pit, fruit trees and a vegetable garden. There is also a ceramics shed, private outdoor bathtub, multiple decks, saltwater pool and spa, outdoor gym with sauna, ice bath and a full outdoor kitchen. There is plenty of parking for guests and the exclamation point is the full deeded access to one of the best beaches in California.
The Malibu house, inside its gated enclave, and designed by one of the country’s most well-known surfer/architects, Matt Kivlin, is now for sale. Priced at $12.995 million, it is listed by Mark Gruskin of Westside Estate Agency in Malibu.
This is from CBS LA:
"Tempting waves called to surfers in Malibu Wednesday night, leading to a shoreline standoff of sorts with sheriff’s deputies and lifeguards."
"More than a dozen surfers were spotted in the water off Malibu just before sunset Wednesday. Los Angeles County sheriff’s deputies and lifeguards tried to coax them in, but the surfers refused to get out of the water until law enforcement boats forced them to shore."
"Twenty people were ultimately let go with a warning."
Two patrol boats and about eight squad cars were sent out to Surfrider Beach around sundown when a dozen surfers were out on the water taking advantage of some high surf.
The sheriff's department said deputies asked the surfers to disperse and did not issue any citations or make any arrests.

New video from Hamboards:
After too many sessions of enduring the struggle to surf in over-crowded Malibu*, Frankie Seely gets a chance to ride Kelly Slater's Surf Ranch's dream waves. One long exhausting day at California's most crowded point break, full of cut-offs and drop-ins, an exhausted Malibu local dreams of surfing her own private wave-after-wave... till the day is done. Refreshed from her slumber, and the surf-line abandoned, she opts for a surf/skate session with friends to relive the dream.
*Editor's note: That's Topanga in the video, but they call Malibu so gets more views.
