- Malibu Madness 4th of July Weekend
Combining fun surf with a holiday weekend at Malibu. There's always a ton of surfers at Malibu but I was curious to see if the crowd would get insane during the 4th of July weekend.
Thanks for watching! I'm Brad Jacobson and I'll sea ya on the sand.
Music (in order of appearance): Vendla, Moins Le Quartet, Wendy Marcini (last 2 songs) - กีฬา
Malibu is the kook capital of the US. imagine waiting 2-3 hours in traffic trying to get to the beach and when you finally get there you gotta deal with more traffic in the water
spend 30min looking for parking
That’s right, it sucks, don’t come !
Its not even funny to watch.
2 to 3 hours???? You must be from Riverside???
Sunday was really fun.
Blessed to be 75. Surfed from Rincon to Blacks ‘62 - ‘67. It was the best of times.
yeah but you had sh!tty equipment enabling you to only
long board like a fuckin statue lookin fool
Dude! Wave of the day to that chick and dude at the end! Seriously rad what the work they do there. Great dude 🫡🤙
10:11 Who's chopping onions?! ❤😭
I don't care who you are or how good you are, no foil boards in the line up. Even if the lineup is a circus.
Absolutely!!
@@helloitsmehblaird is and always has been the biggest Barney in “professional” surfing
He’s only inviting others to foil there too. I wonder how busy the ER is on days like that..
I had so many things to say, but that dude helping that chick surf at the end deserves more attention than the kooks. Great soundtrack…🤘🏼
It actually makes me feel a little sick to my stomach to see that many people in the water.
Thanks Brad....and touch'e to the dude riding with the girl at 10:21 making everyone else in the mayhem look more disabled....and Laird, bareback, testing some new contraption is always a fun watch.
Great video, as always!! I surfed on Friday, avoiding the crowd and making the most of the clean, slightly bigger conditions. I am glad I avoided this madness.
These videos stress me out so much. Like more than any other video, as I'm sitting here I feel a little panic attack come on. But in all this madness is a glimmer of hope. At 2:34 there's somebody who paddles, looks left, stops paddling when they see the other person is getting on, that person bails, and then they proceed to shred with a crazy snap at the end. That was a glorious couple of seconds and kinda made my day 🤷♂
Its nice to see all the kooks stay at malibu. If they arent going to practice any surf etiquette they need to stay there.
Nice video man!! So relaxing to watch!!! TY
Awesome, thanks for recording and sharing!
A lot of people having fun. Nice 4th of July holiday.
Excellent music selection
Thanks for capturing Toni and I tandeming at the end! Lmk next time you’re in Malibu for the weekend 🤙🏼
Surf jazz! I like the guy with no wetsuit. Thanks for the great video.
Why does everyone wear wetsuits nowadays?
Somebody must be fixing boards like crazy... Great video!
is Malibu a kook land? jeezzzz
Da ghost of Mickey Dora is mooning the lineup
2 THUMBS UP Brad !
This is a classic....TY🤙
enjoyed it a lot, particularly the jazzing up
Got to surf that circus in the mid 70s, we thought it was crowded with 30 people! 😂
Right On, Brad😊
Nice track!
Perfect music for the chaos! 😂
So glad I got to surf it in the late 60's, early 70's. Even saw " DORA" Once. Id go outta my mind if I had to surf now.
Nice job as usual Brad.
Living in Vic, I get too frustrated and have to leave early.
Catch ya
This is beautiful to watch
In those conditions I yell out "Party Wave" drop in and enjoy the company.
But seriously, full suits in July? Bunch of pansies!
Thanks for the entertainment!
love it, thank you
One of the only breaks in the world where literally every person in the line up is a Barney
Just kidding. Saw like 5 non barns
PS: so glad I have uncrowded central Fla surf...lots of secret spots... Sure its not the West coast sweels but theres plenty of nice ground & tropical sweels to keep me stooked 🤙
*stoked
I dont think you know what ground or tropical swells are.
good wave ruined by kooks
I will start a ding repair business at that beach soon
Nice soundtrack 👏🏼
thumbs up on the quality of the work and the selection of the topic. As attractive as that place might look as I drive past, I know I lack the high level parking skills required to ever find a spot.
3:07 those mates know how to share a wave all smiles
Look at some of those boards leaning on the block wall at 0:23....😐 I say anything over 9'6" should be legally classified as a "vessel" by the Coast Guard, or maybe given its own zip code...😎
Saturday evening was epic, glassy and filtered sunset!
Brad said Saturday the 5th, but Saturday was the 6th? What year was this?
Great song slection 🤌
Pure nightmare-fuel.
I think Saturday was the 6th. Friday the 5th was fun Wedge in the morning, and fun Secos in the evening.
Reminds of me of surfing Waikiki sans the wet-suits and cold water. Kook Mecca.
Muzak is perfect!
Kook with a camera filming and kook-speak narrating a kook filled lineup. The ultimate trifecta. Congrats to all
You forgot the kook watching the video and the kook commenting 😂
@@omegasurf thanks for stepping up yur kook game
I grew up around Point Dume. I was a pretty good surfer in the 80s back then third point was a really good wave. Lotta times when it was big there would be top to bottom. Barrels doesn’t look so good now.
IPretty sure I'm not the only one who noticed the multiple snakes by the chick with the yellowish /tan board.
Love me some chaos in the morning
Would rather surf 2ft onshore closeouts by myself than this 🤣
All those crowds. And the bathrooms are STILL locked! What's it been, about 2 years now?
Headbangers ball, wonder how many cracked skulls will there be today,loose boards can cause injury.
I never saw surf dancing before 🕺 💃 4:51
Yep - chaos central 😂
Used to surf it at night under a full moon, no crowds.
Brad! I know you generally film from the pier, but there's not much snaking with the shorboarders over a 3rd point...I wish you'd clarify this is a Malibu "1st point thing" and not 2nd or 3rd point thing...
The rides are too short to film out there?
Snaking and dropping in are 2 different things. Wish people would use the terms correctly
@@helloitsmehb kooks!
Glad I surf mexico.
I personally like when it’s big swell anywhere in SoCal…keeps the amateur’s & kooks on the beach. 😎
Insane!
original super bank 😆
the aggro bunch who sit at the top get especially angry when popular beaches get extra popular on the most busy day of the year
A lot of these guys have no business surfing Malibu. Heck, they have no business surfing Cowells up in Santa Cruz😂.
I went to County Line, firing hard on the 4th...OMG...
Kooks everywhere 😂
Dude just watching this gives.me anxiety hahha
Just madness!
I’m so glad I decided to skip Malibu on my trip to west side
I would expect tis from you Bra Brad owl Southbay Lad
There was something / someone missing in that crowd. Let me think ? OH YEAH, ALAN SARLO !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
At times, it seems like a video game in which you are controlling the surfer while avoiding a collision, as random surfers flow from right to left at the bottom.
The saying is "few and far between" not "far and few between." Of course, Laird finds a way to foil so that he doesn't need a breaking wave and can have a swell all to himself.
It's like snowboarding/skiing on the weekends. Wait in traffic, hard to find parking, wait in long ass lift lines, then fight people down the runs. Na I'm good. I have the luxury with my job to go on a weekday.
Malizoo! good tunes bro, what is that in the start, Chet Atkins?
The least crowded swell at Snapper Rocks:
last surfed this place in the winter of '66. I see things haven't changed a bit...
Been there. Done that. No thanks. 😂
log jam!
Sound track !
Makes county look like rincon.
Pretty much every west coast break with a parking area and a beach looks like the SoCal freeways at rush hour, and has for a long time. Far to many rats in the same cage. The crowds did not exist in the 60's and remained relatively light until the shortboard era, where lighter, easier to maneuver boards gained prevalence. By the 80's, line ups had filled up as the California population swelled as the inland areas became built out. Surf wear companies played a large part in crowd density in the water as they heavily advertised the "surfing life style" to make a buck. Beach cites where living cheap in less than ideal housing discovered thay could make unbelievable amounts of money by razing the cheap housing to build high population density, high priced condo housing and eliminate the cheesy surf shops and small businesses to construct strip malls with high dollar floor space on every street that catered to beach goers. The vast majority that bought into the hype did not know, and never learned, the surfing life style was not one filled with high fashion and a privileged, flashy life style, but one filled with hardship and relative poverty, living to surf and wondering where your next meal or gallon of gas to get to the water would come from. There was a time surfing was all about fun and adventure. Today it's more about making a buck selling travel and style while getting others to look at you, surrounded by stress, tension, and aggression. Surfing had completely lost it's soul by the 1990's, becoming nothing more than another money grab built upon a false image.
The only madness I see is so many people who can't surf. Wow. So many gems going to waste. An intermediate surfer from any other country would be having an effing field day out there.
Greg left as soon as they put in the stop light
ngl I don’t think it’s a crowd problem here, mostly the inexperienced and unskilled are sticking to the inside break and way down the shoulder.. the problem I see is there is a very sweet and juicy peak and connecting bowls that no one seems interested in charging. in Florida we are way hungrier in that regard. on a similar day in fl you’ll see guys absolutely wailing on conditions like this (complete w the shorebreak lined w inexperienced fellow surfing persons)
Good commentary though - I think you're ready to narrate a movie!
Lots of people watching this video have given up on their dream of learning to surf
what time is this at?
It seems the talented surfers don't bother from looking at the lineup
Maybe you can ask all the old timers from. 50_60s if we get the county to approve river to drain differently, build back the old style waves ?
It's a pipe dream but what if!!
if da bu got this much swell….bet Lowers T was good too. which was mo crowded
"Some surfers" - shows a clip of a professional surfer and malibu local hahaha 6:40
few and far between; think about it
The only ones missing there are Batman and the Joker…
The kooks make it look shitty! I have to keep reminding myself that it's Malibu! It was aways crowded but not with such inept surfers!
the water was disgusting. Way worse than the crowd. I stayed out for an hour before I couldn't handle it anymore
HeCk YeAh!
That brown film? That’s hepatitis and staph bro😂😂
Nah. its just homeless diharea
Laird on foil, king of the kooks
Far and few between?
its called editing you kook, you think this was live?
Circus music please.. 🍿
3:21 I made it to the kook hall of fame.
