Learn to Surf at World Famous First Point Malibu

The patrician Rindge family of the secluded Rancho Malibu battled to keep their expansive, pristine estate exclusively to themselves, but when the highway was forced in and the influx of Hollywood royalty followed with it; the very private life of May Rindge, one that was far away from publicity on her isolated ranch by the sea, slowly disappeared. Mrs. Rindge ended up selling her land to the very people whose presence and lifestyles were to make Malibu famous throughout the world. Later the surf-crazed culture made Malibu Beach the progressive epicenter for the sport. The high profile Malibu commenced with continued into later generations, most significantly catalyzed by the popularity of Gidget during the 1960s.

The wall that the protective May Rindge constructed years prior in an attempt to hold on to her last bit of ownership, became a fundamental icon for an entire collection of motivated surfing aficionados, not just in the surrounding community, but all around the world as well. The construction of this wall planted a seed that lead to an exclusive society, rooted from a justly territorial family whose way of life was being threatened. This structure grew into a self-righteous civilization that was dominated by its own policies, laws, and language that eventually materialized into the quintessence of the surfing scene for the entire surfing community. As the wall was positioned at the entrance to the infamous First Point, it became a symbol of initiation and acceptance, a gateway, if you will, into a world where its citizens were living by their own agenda.
