Crowded Malibu isn’t a good thing. It’s a normal thing, but most definitely not a good thing. That being said, the crowd out at Malibu during the peak of last week’s swell of summer was self-selecting more or less. From locals like Shane Borland, Matt Pagan, and Dillon Perillo to legends such as Allen Sarlo, Laird Hamilton and Kelly Slater, Surfrider Beach’s First Point was in good company.
There were even stretches when snakes were welcome — and occasionally encouraged! (See: Kelly and Sarlo at the 2:42 mark.)
We miss Marie already…
