"Skip Frye, Malibu, and Unity!"
Most surfers would have to look far and wide for a beach that would be more "democratic" or truly "free spirited" than Malibu Point! On any Sunday, you'll have the most riff of the riff-raff (including virtual beginners!), kooks of all walks of life, bumping rails with the likes of the great Skip Frye, Mike Doyle, Chris Schlickenmeyer of the South Bay, and of course, Angie Reno! Inspiring, awesome, and breathtaking rides, speeding through the blitz-like section between first and second point, are juxtaposed against humiliating and painful mid-air collisions with novices sitting in the "bay", waiting their turn for the beautiful, world-famous Malibu curls!
Sometimes hilarious, alternately outrageous, and always "happening", Malibu will always remain the "King of the Coast", to both those who love and curse it!
Where but in the "microcosmic" example of the "Bu" (Malibu) could one find the unity concept of the New Year symbolically played out? Indeed, this week's Torah portion (Nitzavim) 29-9 tells us: "...today you are all standing (together)... your leaders, tribes, elders, bailifs....from your wood cutters to your water bearers." In Likutei Torah, one learns that this unity of a people "standing as one," each person complimenting the other, puts nobles and peasants on equal footing. In the language of the Malibu "model" for the proper outlook for the New Year: the great watermen and the lowly kooks are all part of the same wave!
May this be a sweet year, a year of unity for you and your family!
