Description

Malibu isn’t on our list of best beginner surf spots—and for good reason. It’s chaotic, crowded, and famously not beginner-friendly. But it’s also Malibu—home of First Point, longboard heaven, and the birthplace of modern surf culture.

In this episode, we break down what it’s really like to surf Malibu:

  • First, Second, and Third Point explaine

  • When to go (and when to avoid it)

  • What to expect in the water (spoiler: a lot of people)

  • Water quality, wardrobe tips, and post-fire updates

  • Is it solo-surfer friendly?
