You'd Better Learn How to Surf...



The real surfers in San Francisco spend the summer waiting for winter. I do the opposite. Got down to what's left of Ocean Beach (El Nino tore apart everything man-made this past winter) for my first session of 2010. The shirtless bros hanging in the parking lot in their Levis reminded me of images from California's surf scene in the 70's.

Was great to get back in the water. Reminded me that fear is a necessary prelude to doing anything worthwhile.

Sartorially speaking, surfing continues to greatly influence fashion. As long as there is some authenticity to it, I think this trend is pretty cool. A new brand that gets it right is Santa Barbara's Riviera Club, whose clothing is inspired by the real-life adventures of SB surfer Bunker Spreckels.
