California Surfboard Fence

Whether you like Surfing California USA or surfing the globe, this beloved sport draws people to the ocean and nature in a way no other sports activity can. In California, if you see coastline and waves, youu'll usually find surfers out there in the Pacific Ocean riding them.

From the popular San Diego beaches, to Orange County, Los Angeles, Ventura, Santa Barbara, San Luis Obispo, Monterey, Santa Cruz, San Mateo, San Francisco, Napa, Mendocino and portions of Humboldt and Trinidad counties, surf shops, surf clothes, surfboards, surf racks, surfing events and surf beaches are everywhere.. 

Variations of the surfing theme are reflected in popular art. Statues commemorate local surfing legends, public art integrates icons and themes to reflect cultural interest and the surfboard, itself, is utilized for a number of things. From a sign above a youth hostel, a table top surface and even fence adornment, surfboards can be seen spread across the landscape like old Vee-dubs (VW's or Volkswagens).

One of the most pleasing graphic shapes to photograph and use as a physical object that interacts with humans is the surfboard. It's side is not much larger than its subject holding it. It is often colorful. It has a distinctive shape that's clearly recognizable. Whether you surf or not, visit California beach cities and communities to enjoy surfboards. For a real treat, enter a surfboard shop and see the colorful objects lined up in a rack.

When visiting Oxnard, we have a favorite hotel that we are just hooked on, no two ways about it. We like to stay at the Embassy Suites Mandalay Beach. Whether you pay more for the ocean view, or just get the regular room, it's not bad either way. In fact, it's great!
