Quick: name the best surfer to ever come out of Venice Beach, California. If you said, "Venice has never produced good surfers," you're wrong. Despite having, uh, variable, wave conditions, Venice's unique culture makes it a cradle for creative talent, whether in surfing, skating, or various types of art. In this episode, we get to know legendary surfer Rick Massie and learn about what it's like to take on the WQS without sponsors. We also check in with the next generation in the form of up and coming grom, Noah Hill. Venice might not be known for its waves, but it's still an amazing place to be a surfer.

@@picasodazzo7104 lol come down to orange county and surf real waves sorry id rather not pay $10 grand a month to live in a place where people live and shit in tents on the beach and where the waves suck ass year round 🤣🤣🤣🤣
that was pretty sick ! more of this! love venice too...
Rick shreds! Always has.
Great job !
I grew up in Venice - class of 86 Gondos! and never heard of any of these people. My Mom still lives in Venice, CA. Is this video for Venice Florida?
Ricky gave me ride to Huntington Beach one day over 20 years ago. Me and Diego from Venezuela. If you see this thanks bro, I don’t think we gave you any gas money. Neither Diego or I had a car at the time and didn’t get to get out of Venice much, heading down to Huntington for half a day meant a lot to us. It looks like you’re still driving that same black truck.
Time to call in an A-10 airstrike.
maybe you should do it from your trailer in moscow
Me mate bought a house right on the boardwalk in 1965 for $25K. Venice was a junkie ghetto at that time. Now he rents it out for 10 grand a month.
Amen
And he bought another house in 1970 on Lighthouse Point in Santa Cruz (Steamer Lane) for 30 grand, converted the garage into a guesthouse where he can live and rents the house out at about 5 grand a month. So he spends the winter in Southern Cal in Ocean Park (he converted the attic into a nice dwelling) and the summer in Santa Cruz taking in about 15 grand a month rent . While he was converting both houses he lived in his car - a volkswagon van. And then he has another million or so in investments bringing in income. The guy is a genius. Started with nothing. A surf bum from the old 1950's Malibu days. Dora named him "The Masochist". Great guy.
I lived in East Venice (the nicer area of Venice). While at Venice High (‘64-‘67) everything by the beach was in disrepair. We would go down to what is now, the Marina Peninsula, to drink beer on the beach. Oil wells, in backyards and polluted canals. A real dump. We felt sorry for the people who lived there.
In the early ‘70’s these poor folks sold their little bungalows for 40k. They thought they made a killing.
junkie ghetto NOW
lmao @@stephenmwyatt2
Wecome to Venice!
I am working in Jeffersonville Indiana and shepherdsville Kentucky, I miss home. Downey California
KOOK VILLE
Should've talked more about surfers and skaters from Santa Monica coming to Venice past that border LMAO 😂 that tickled my lil westside heart hearing that. I remember those days
6:51 Wow his style on those fs cutbacks is unreal (did he learn that or did it come natural?) .. well beyond his years
Rick needs to get his airbrushes out there. Ring Troy Lee Designs Rick and ask him how he did it, tell him your story man.
STRIDER DOPE 🤙🏻
Venice OGs are hard. These young punks have it so easy today.
And you're are mad about that? You want LA to go back into the gutter?
I used to live in a rooming house on Venice beach. It was rough, with ancient rustic hippie stuff. Just a saggy bed, a paper bag full of t shirts, a cheap guitar. I didn't even bother to lock it.
2:50 holy shit this is like, a block away from me! i always see the family out there, lotta kids :)
Home of Jim Morrison and Jay Adams.
1:00 heyyyy!
good on him for not leaving da neighborhood!!!!
1:03 was Channel Street in San Pedro, still L.A but definitely not Venice
Al Sarlo ? Locals are mandatory. Better than what any Board Magazine can cover. No shame , Much Respect. 12-25-18 lnsco Soquel Ca.
Crips? I remember V-13 but the Englewood was the closest you'd get to the Crips on the coast. But the ghetto by the sea is now Hollywood by the sea and homeless + RVs on one side and $100 a plate restaurants on the other now.
+Jon P "Venice Shoreline Crips" or VxSxLxC. Qne of the deadliest black gangs in L.A. Google them
This is when you know that a sports activity has become a dysfunctional addiction and that, if you don't get help, you are going to be very lonely when you're old.
from Malibu to La Jolla the whole place is completely overrun protect what's yours
Hal Heywood California sucks.
Jason Stockworthy you’re obviously an idiot
@@jasonstockworthy8558 How insightful, my intellectual friend
That's my current I'm not kidding
Venice is a ghetto , but the history of the city is something for us Angelenos to be proud of. If you can't handle it , " Stay AWAY "
Yeah , the past is something you can be proud of . But look at what the baby boomers did to it .
Tell em what's the time
Whatever... The best surfer of all time came from Cocoa Beach FL. The incomparable Kelly Slater haha.. But being from FL we always looked up to Cali... Planning a trip there this year.
Yeah , Slater is a bad ass . But just know he only got better when he left Florida for better waves in the Pacific.
agreed, Kelly is superb but for some reason I like watching Christian Fletcher footage better, hard to argue that Kelly isn't the goat, though and ironically not from HI or CA
what do you mean "whatever" they literally fucking said "some of the best surfers come from places with the worst waves, because they had to make it work..." waves at Cocoa Beach suck.
HB pier>Venice Beach. Sorry! 😸
R.I.P. Paul Cullen, what up BC?
Silver Strand LoCaLs Huneme Pier Locals , Oxnard Shore's locals, Rincon VTA 805
Go little gromm you rip
surf royalty... are you serious?
Exactly.What pretentious wankers.
Yes have you heard of Hawaii? Bunch of island roaches that think because they are 2 perfect Hawaiian they own the Pacific Ocean. But when it comes to the white surfers who grew up there because they had money don’t say anything. Makes sense right?
Rick Massie CHICANO SURF GOD , Noah Hill is the Future from Venice!
Only good thing around Venice is Tito Tacos 🌮 and the Netflix series Kingdom. There's no Slater or John John coming out of Venice being a WCT world champ. That grommet does rip. Gerlach a SD boy.
Titos sucks!
FUCK WAS THAT OCCY ON THE PIANO
LADYS AND GENTLE MEN THATS WHY ITS CALLED THE WESTSIDE 💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪 AND YOU KNOW THIS!!!!!
respect to all you Venetians.
Is that KOOK CITY ?
Slater came from cocoa beach for fucks sake. The shit waves make you hungry.
Why didn’t that Mexican dude go to the North Shore - he would of fit right in...
We know why 😎...
Jay Adams is the poster child for what that place is and what it does to people . Is he still even alive ?
no, he is not, he actually died from a heart attack on a surf trip to Mexico over 4 years ago
Yeah I’m still competing and I’ve had to grow up watching kids who aren’t half as good as me their parents buy them onto teams and they fucking suck!! I’ve had to fight tooth and nail my whole surf career to get to the spot I’m at. I know it doesn’t matter and I’m just happy to surf but I do enjoy competing so I have to deal with it lol is what it is
Aggro kooks reliving the past. Anybody who passes this behavior down to the new kids surfing today are doing them a huge disservice. Have fun, make friends, travel more, and never take surfing too seriously. 99% of the surf in Los Angeles is not even remotely worth fighting over. Not even close
really sad they dont invest money into venice
I left LA 4 years ago. Lived there 44 years. Used to always surf Venice Break Water, Malibu Points, Zuma, Santa Monica, but my Pops got a house in Newport, so ended up surfing down there through most of my 20s. LA and Southern CA is pretty much destroyed as far as I'm concerned. The State is so corrupt and most the people are falling for the latest communist push of authoritarianism. I can't see myself ever going back which is sad, but at least I'm free and not a slave anymore.
We grew up surfing Venice with our wildman boat building waterman father, sailing and diving etc... We lived ON THE beach - at the pier since 1954, not back in the hood somewhere as these Johnny-come-lately bullshitters do.. Actually, only a few of us grew up On The Beach in Venice, and fewer still even surfed. .... and these folks ain't them. They weren't even around then.
What a joke.
They have NO idea what Venice was in the '50s '60s and into the '70s. Nor do they know what it means to run out your front door and within 3 minutes be diving in to go bodysurfing, bellyboarding, skimboarding, diving off the pier into the tops of 10' breakers in the middle of the night in the summer - never.
They did not "live" at the beach, or hear the surf breaking every night. There were only 6 us from the Pavillion to the pier that Lived In The Water, Summer Winter Spring and Fall that did. We know who we are. You Missed that boat.
We were the ONLY ones that sailed and did any diving. My old man's Malibu Outrigger #66 the "Juryrigger" can be seen in the Endless Summer - Malibu scene, flying a hull in 1st point lineup through all the longboarders with me and my little brother perched out on the ama 8 feet up in the air.. Any of you know what a Malibu Outrigger is? of course not.
The incredible '50s & '60s sailing voyages into Baja and the Sea of Cortez, Mainland Mex and Central America and beyond into the South Seas etc..... aboard our vessel the "Crusader", all before the F'up stomp that took place down there in Central America.
Unfortunately, Venice BEACH - not somewhere east of the beach, has changed from a great place to grow up when Marine Del Rey was not even there, to the nightmare it is today.
The houses have been leased out for years for stupid money, nice to be elsewhere in fantastic places.
Ya just don't know what you don't know
Venice locals; or was it Royalty! ...... good god what a mindset - maybe even a prison - dream on
promo vid😒😒😒😒😒😒
I lived at County Line beach the most unspoiled destination beach in LA and HATED going to Venice for anything more than a new bong or to look at people on the 3rd Ave promenade. Venice Beach is a pit.
Is that your real pic
venice boyz need to stay away from My Hawai'i nei
Remember that only a tourist calls Venice ,Venice beach
Kinda sad
Of all the places in the South Bay to surf, Venice is one of the worst. Among the things you'll find in the water there are hypodermic needles, dirty diapers, dead animals, and raw sewage. Among the things you won't find in the water there are friendly people, barreling waves, or good surfers.
Idiot says ‘I am not a trust fund baby it is hard to make ends meet,’ what a bunch of BS, this is the United States if you learn a trade or go to school and actually learn something that will contribute to financial success and then combine that with hard work.
PlEase
Venice was full of Mexicans even back in the day, not to mention the high numbers of mixed
Venice will always be a seaside slum
Lol so many odd statements.. there are many beaches in la. Venice is the weirdest, most reprobate and dirtiest.
Venice Beach then:
Venice Beach now:illegals, homeless, high taxes, poop, dirty syringes, illegals
Freak show....i rather surf Trestles down south.
DUH
