What a long ride and under the pier! Great shot

[@stevenklocinski8558]

Unbelievable! I was shocked when the surfer went under the pier!

[@Cfass1]

I surfed their back in ‘82 with Bruce and the Dubriar brothers. It was California’s first el nino and we held it down. Now everyone is out there hotdogging and grand standing

[@iansbryant1]

Sick. I got three bombs from third to the beach. Thought for sure I would have made the edit 💪

[@jamespardue3055]

It's a big Westy to turn it on like that, thanks for the footage, fantastic job, brings back memories.

[@mrkroeger]

Malibu doing what it is famous for...long shaply smooth rides. Great video, thank you

[@SHGant]

Unusual Malibu crowd. Everybody with the goods must've been at rincon!!

[@stevencarlson311]

nice video.. Really captures it. Great wave & mostly great surfing

[@richardmccaughey5928]

Interesting that Malibu and Rincon were breaking decently at the same time. Almost never happens. This was truly a "West Swell" and a powerfull one at that. My favorite west swell break, which rarely happened, was El Capitan north of Santa Barbara. A small point break that could produce some 4' to 6' fast, hollow tubes. Of course that was in the '60's and '70's when I surfed.

[@stevenklocinski8558]

That was extremely entertaining and informative at the same time without any real commentary. Excellent!

[@michaelfarar4232]

Not known as a winter break but the El Nino swells come in much more westerly than north westerly. Malibu and Pt Dume are south facing beaches for summer swells, but again, El Nino works. Totally different wave.

Great footage. Thanks.
Watching from a flat NC coast.

Always refreshing to see Malibu with hardly anyone out.

[@MarkFranklin-ws5jf]

I was going to say drop ins were at a minimum

[@andyvare8541]

Oh look, noone's out!

[@MichaelODonovan-jk6uf]

When the points in Ventura and south Santa Barbara are 12'-18', with sets 20'+, and Mavericks is 25'-35', HB at 15'+, the Malibu crew can be found ripping it at 5'-7'. No need to challenge yourself in Malibu, just cruise with the zen crowd.

[@thunderousapplause]

No need to spend NYE in hospital.

[@willorr1494]

when I as a kid surfing I heard of riding all the way through the pier , now IVE seen it....the world might be ending but you guys get the finest swells ever

[@thorarthur66ddz]

Highly recommend you come down and surf this spot in Malibu. Malibu Lagoon State Beach is a good place to learn to surf as well. Great for folks that live anywhere in Southern California or just on vacation in So Cal.

[@sandman93449dm]

Nice waves actually for a west...odd and fun looks like...

[@j3f423]

Yewwwwww getting hyped for today sir 🫡

[@sandman93449dm]

Rincon was huge ... slow but huge.

[@surchercastoke4046]

I frickin' had to work!

[@ronhfree]

Almost looks better than a south swell

[@bwhit716]

Not the right swell direction but the Bu still lookin good. Few longboards?

[@is-ness]

You poor Americans. What a crowd.

[@JohnLloyd-yi3fg]

If that’s pumping, I’m embarrassed to say I am a California surfer

[@ichorousmedia]

for malibu it is

[@sctim123]

Go back to the toxic South Bay I thought you were a hard charger bro worlds greatest surfer

[@nepabelito]

DREAMY CONDITIONS, NIGHTMARISH SOUNDTRACK
