The record
First Point is part of a historic district recognised for Malibu’s role in the development of surfing between 1945 and 1959. The nearby pier has an earlier story: it was built in 1905 to handle goods for Malibu Rancho, with farm produce going out and building supplies coming in.
In the print, two unmarked boards lie on the sand, with the shoreline and low pier behind them. The scene is an interpretation of the place, rather than a record of a particular day.
What this print shows
I laid the two boards diagonally across the lower-left sand so they point into the coast instead of forming a display. Behind them, the scene becomes quieter: a pale waterline, turquoise sea, one low pier and a muted slope. Every logo was removed. The pier stays secondary, making this an interpretation of First Point rather than an architectural elevation.
