Sure, there are a ton of exotic places you surfers dream about on a daily and nightly basis. You could be in Tavarua or Bali or Tamarindo. But let’s face it, you’re not. You are, however, in Southern California, which, in spite of the hype and scene that is Orange County, has some pretty decent surf spots. There are legendary breaks within very close proximity. You could load up a few boards and buddies into your raised F150 (which, by the way, is a means of transportation, not a tool to pick up chicks) and cruise down to Trestles or up to Point Magoo or maybe even catch a wave in Malibu. But why? Your very own back- yard houses one of the most con- sistent breaks in the country, no wait the world!
