California Surfing

During 2010 we stayed for a week on Sunset Beach which is a part of Huntington Beach, California. This old boy shows off his long board before he puts it away after a day surfing. We could see this action from our ocean view hotel room patio.

Susanne and I have made three trips to California since 2006 visiting with our daughter's in-laws. Two of these trips included Dee and Kyle, one including our granddaughter. Over the past decade, we have become good  friends with Kyle's parents, Murray and Nancy....we have enjoying our visits with them in California and here in Ontario. During our visits to California we have spent a lot of our time along the coastline. Many of these location are surfing oriented. Here are a few views of the ocean side lifestyle.....George 

The long board is put away on his vintage 1958 station waggon. We were staying at the Ramada Inn which one can see in the background. Our room faced the public parking lot and the beach.

This photo of a surfer getting his board out of his trunk was in Oceanside, Ca., Sept. 2006. There is a large pier that can be seen in the background. The best surfing is near the pier. We stayed on the beach with a nice view of this location.
I took this photo in downtown Oceanside. Oceanside it the location of the Surfing "Hall of Fame"......which is actually around the corner from this spot.
