That's just phenomenal. There are trying to take off that can't even stand up, that one guy ate it multiple times on camera. These Malibu segments are the best.
For people not familiar with SoCal, Malibu & Trestles are among the few places that pick up S swells. OC beach breaks of course; but they are typically walked up & blown out before noon. Now, add in a short lived (less than 24 hrs - storm continued but was heading out to sea) tropical swell, and you have all the ingredients for Brad's video. This swell actually peaked Thurs afternoon below the border. Everyone thought Friday would be good, but it practically disappeared overnight. You can see how fast the conditions degraded in the video. As the tide came up, the energy and shape got progressively worse. So, you're an LA surfer faced with an easy question: do you want to surf this short swell? Yes, go to Malibu; no, stay at school/work and miss it. It's really that simple.
thanks for the explanation! never really made sense to me before that why anybody would surf this wave. what i still dont understand is how 90% of these people on longboards suck so bad at surfing when they live by the ocean
I still can't figure out why you'd want to surf there with all the people. If you're a beginner, the crowds would make it terrible to learn. If you're more advanced, the crowds would make it virtually impossible to do anything. Either way it would be so frustrating!
Time warp to the 1950s. Everyone bailing their boards on a 6-inch wave. Surprised to see 👀 not too many foam boards. A Wavestorn or Lopez would've been a lineup killer!
It's time for a permit system for Malibu. If a wave pool can fetch a few hundred for a few waves picture what you could get by selling tickets to Malibu! Helmets and a chainmail suit would no longer be required.
Great Vid except for the worst surfers at the best surf spot. Makes me wanna toss my computer watching so many kooks! Pretty awful - the surfers from LA mirror their driving habits. Remember - the left lane is for passing - when you come North we have two or three lanes - stay to the right!
It's all so cringeworthy. I have hard time seeing how people have fun when it's that crowded. The least bad thing that can happen is you bang rails with someone.
Watching footage of Malibu is sooo frustrating for me. So many surfers who lack the most basic skills and etiquette. 3-5 people already on a wave and all these people think they should still drop in and then run to the nose on the soft ass shoulder... Like, why!?
I rarely have any problems with short boarder's. Its always long board kooks. I grew up Surfing in the 70s. Huntington Beach South/North sides. Went to Huntington Beach High School class of 80. So I consider myself a local. Back in the 70s you didnt F with the guys in the water. They would beat you in the water then kick your A$$ out of the water. It was about RESPECT. Not much of that anymore.
Can you make videos condemning this; People are actually think this is acceptable there. It take special type of jackass to try and cut off Chad Marshall. lol
And this is why I don’t venture south of County Line. That is not fun looking at all talk about ruining your day, I would be in such a bad mood after dealing with that kookness.
I can't believe there's no surfing etiquette out there none of them know how does Surf and who's wave is who's they're lucky nobody beating people up out there
Malibu is what happens when the locals don’t enforce the rules. A hoard of kooks ruin a world class wave. I wonder how many injuries happen on a regular basis from people getting nailed by flailing boards. 🤦♂️

I’m glad most people flock to these spots. Keeps the crowd down at less publicized spots.
Everyone in this video is fucking clueless, hardly even qualifies as surfing.
Hilarious 😂 thanks for the laughs have a Like 🍿
The second music in the Conflict scene reigned supreme. Keep it up!
Are there fights in the parking lot afterwards? No etiquette.
I love your videos, making mood 😂🙌🤙
Like Snapper crowd wise. Thanks Brad🏄

Chaos 😵💫 Do you need a license to carry while surfing 🤔 Great tunes 🤙🐶😎🇺🇸

How to make something out of nothing. You're the king Brad.
Pack your beater board, your patience, and a positive fun vibe...Or you will be miserable! Welcome to the Bu! 🤙🏻
Where's Allen Sarlo when you need a line up cleared out?

a lot of these people are transplants that shouldn't be driving or surfing
I'm going to show up there on a wal-mart boogie board one of these days
you gotta shoot from the beach, not the pier.

the one at 5:03 !! oh man, almost head taken off.

Also special shoutouts to "why stand up when I could just kneel on my Wavestorm!?" guy 🤦♂
Kooks, brah. Kooks.
Confrontating? Is that a word?
Confronting
Classic Brad.
It is now...like life the ocean and gender, language is fluid.
A new word is probably the best thing to come from this video
This is absolute chaos 😂 Love it!
Stoked to finally see myself in one of your videos at 4:48 and you cut my wave right when I stand up 😂
Straight to jail for the leashless adult learners / beginner'mediates
The hardo adult learners are way worse than the kooks

I really don't want to but I actually feel sorry for the poor bastards that call themselves "locals." 😂🤣

Malikook. The best waves with the worst surfers in the world inhabiting the place.
This place is some of the worst that surfing has to offer.

From what I could tell by your footage - There was 58% Trump surfers in the lineup- that’s gotta be a big blow to Obama
Who looks at that shitshow and thinks, 'cool I'm going out'.
traffic in india;)

Malibu way better than Lower Trestles. Just the crowd
What a shit show. Malibu has become SFV by the Sea. How could you possibly have fun out there?
