“My blood pressure? Dude! It’s f$#king through the roof! Are you kidding me? It’s nuts!”
Today’s guest on Dirty Water is Andy Lyon, the Malibu realtor and First Point surfer of fifty years who achieved a considerable notoriety recently when he threw a rock into another man’s surfboard following an entanglement, the video of the event going viral.
He lost his job, had his address published and a beat-down was suggested his kid Glider.
Lyon represents a vanishing era where lineups were harshly policed with a clearly defined pecking order, a limpid simplicity greased with the underlying threat of violence.
The highlight, for me, of this interview is our guest’s reply to the posit that Malibu is a sissy wave for old men and girls, not sissy old men who beat up on girls.
Sarlo and this clown selling out Malibu one carved up hill at a time! Snakes.
His son won´t do a thing he says but he´s gonna regulate Maliboobs. Delusional.
The WSL is a f…ing joke.
LOL. Andy is right.
When you drive by the point six times a day every day it becomes a part of you. Many days you stop and you are the only one there. It’s flat, cold, foggy. Nobody is around except a bus load of German tourists wondering what all the fuss is about. If you don’t live there you can’t understand what it feels like when 400 dudes show up when it finally gets good. The ignorance and lack of respect to the guys that live there is tragic. It gets worse every year. The attitude that the “waves are for everyone man” is ignorant, do the math. 250 surfers in the water. 4-5 waves per set, 3-6 sets per hour. What kind of arrogant stupidity makes you think its ok to paddle out when it is that crowded? Just paddling out is an act of aggression to those that live there. Hiding behind the “hey man the surf is for everybody” mantra is completely disingenuous. Go somewhere else, spread out. Or at least respect the guys that live there.
Andy saved that dudes life, he was using the rock to kill a poisonous spider that was on the dudes board.
Derek… thank-you for this… arguably the greatest Dirty Water of ’22… I stopped counting F-bombs after approx. 30… his little kid’s interruptions were priceless… not saying I agree with 100% of what he’s seen doing on the video, but certainly I stand far far far more with him than the opportunistic video taker/postyer and mob going after him… I hope he can get back to a srelative tate of calm soon… I was getting worried for him during the episode… everything he said about the lineups around the the U.S. is on-point.
Well that was an exhausting listen.
Fuck, imagine how insane and nonstop his internal chatter must be?
less than 96 or eight
This guy…His whole version of everything is extremely hypocritical considering he brings “First Point Malibu local” vibes up to Rincon every winter (where he is not a local). I can’t tell you how many times (at the Con) I have watched him paddle around the regulars continuously. A very greedy surfer to share any session with.
Basically, he is known for doing EXACTLY what he is accusing the yellow board dude of doing. Back paddling and being overly aggressive. I agree that crowds are out of control, to respect the locals (especially the elders) and that there needs to be some regulation, BUT… This dude can’t have it both ways. That is just pure, unwelcome entitlement.
One of the most disheartening aspects of modern surfing is watching grown men act like petulant teenagers in the lineup.
The irony of hearing his young kid in the background throwing temper tantrums and interrupting him through out the interview makes this whole story even more classic.
100% True
The ‘what’ …love it! ‘Kumbaya Wall’ ‘Which side of the hypocrisy are you on’? ‘shadow boxing weirdos living in their mommies basement’……….. There’s some good stuff here! Thank you Derek!
Typical overbearing loudmouth L.A fuckhead.
damn! if he was the right shade of Hawaiian this would not have happened. Take note my white arain brothers, they are on to us! we gotta keep protecting ourselves to make sure they will not bite that hand the feeds.
This dude said 36,000 words to every word the host said (16,431 of them the word “like”). Also, how many times can he swear in front of his 5 year old? That was pretty painful. I surf a lot of crappy waves in South Carolina but my local sounds 743x better than the boo
Makes me never want to go to Malibu ever. The idea of this guy and Ben Marcus in the same parking lot is a horrendous thought.
good luck parking….
I’ve seen about two clips of Malibu in the last ten years that make it look like a good shortboard wave. Not even sure what the attraction of it is.
I guess it used to be better before the river mouth shifted and screwed it up.
Its an epic wave.
I surfed there once….it was legitimately shocking. At one point I rode a wave with six people with zero room to do anything but not hit another board or fall. The only place I’ve been to that compares is bingin but at least that place throws a great tube. Real S show
Wheres the video??
Love how the sound fades as he’s going on about his merch coming out soon.
And sodomy was a crime!
Yes, but why?
Dunno, better ask jesus
I did, he said “stop being a bunch of cunts, I love all my children equally”
Funny, everytime I see this clown at Rincon I think this idiot needs to get regulated. He’s an absolute pest.
Im done now, but that whole pit crew thing has evolved into a major collection of pests. Prior to the pacific going flat, that whole zone would get washed away every winter. I would lurk down there with my thrift store 8mm cam , puffing herbs, making blurry movies. Oh well.
Autuer
I had to look that up HippY!! I thought it was a perve deal or something
I won’t listen to it later, rather waste my time posting crap here.
But can you indulge us in other similar vanishing eras we actually need and miss?
Pre-internet
Atomic age
Women’s workplace – the kitchen
Kids need beatdowns. And the wife.
Cigarretes are harmless. So is booze.
Pesticides are our friends.
Plastic is fantastic. Crude oil is the future.
And praise the Lord.
This guy loves the sound of his own voice
holy f he just went on and on and on

He’s surfed First Point for damn near twice my life, yet still is shocked by a crowd consisting mainly of potential Kook of the Day IG story characters.
