Edward HutchinsonDecember 3, 2016One of my favourite Surf Spots in/near LA. This wave doesn't get good that often but when it does it's great! The beach is not a great spot to sit as the PCH is just there behind you.Upvote4Downvote

The ease of the paddle out here means any damn fool can contribute to the crowd and create a hazard by not knowing how to duckdive/roll their board or navigate a lineup.UpvoteDownvote1
