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."

A perfect day in Malibu...again! Start off the day with a morning surf. Then, Kyle, Brian, Brandon, and I get rowdy at first point. We end the evening with full on Golden Hour at third point. Author Patrick presents the history of George Freeth who brought surfing to Venice Beach and all of Southern California. In the early 1900s, Freeth taught surfing and swimming, including coaching legendary waterman and Olympian Duke Kahanamoku. While working for visionary Abbot Kinney in Venice, and at beaches and bath houses in San Diego, Long Beach, Redondo, and Santa Monica, Freeth established modern lifeguarding practices still in use today. He transformed the beach into a destination for fun, sport, and excitement.
