The Malibu Surfrider Beach is one of the epicenters of surfing in California and probably the most famous surf break in mainland America.
The legendary point break became a popular surf spot in the 1950s and 1960s with the rise of surfing as an all-year-round outdoor sport.
Surfrider Beach also played a critical role in the development of the sport over the decades. It s a charismatic place with as many stories as the number of people who enjoyed it along the way.
The first surfers to ride a wave at Malibu were Tom Blake and his friend Sam Reid in 1927.
