This morning I went for a pre work, or should I say 'pre unemployment', surf with my neighbour Kostya 'The Menace'.
It was my first Malibu Point experience. For those that don't know, Malibu is in California, USA.

It was a beautiful dawn with half a foot of swell.

Even so, Malibu was peeling perfectly. The crowds however, were nuts. I'm not used to fifty guys out in half a foot of swell I guess...

With half a foot of swell and fifty guys and girls out, I considered myself lucky to get four waves to myself in the forty five minutes I had in the water. It was a surreal surfing experience: Waves peeling through with four, five and maybe six surfers on them.
Whenever a wave came through, you'd get a healthy number of people paddling for it. I don't know how better to explain the view of all the surfers I'd see paddling towards me for any given wave, than to show you the below clip from YouTube as a demonstration:
