The Inertia

Surfrider Beach is one of the most important places in surfing history, and shooting the pier at Surfrider is one of those things that the people who became legends used to do. As Hurricane Marie’s swell began to show up in Malibu, Laird Hamilton (a familiar face in the area), reportedly showed up on a paddleboard and proceeded to stroke into the largest set wave of the day, according to this YouTube video. And then, of course, he shot the pier. On a paddleboard. Then the cameraman gets a little creepy, but the shooting the pier part is still awesome.
