Surfing Beaches in California run the
approximate 1000 miles of coast line.
Wherever there are waves, you'll find
surfers who find ways to access them and
ride them. In places such as Ghost Tree
near Pebble Beach or Mavericks in Half
Moon Bay, surfers ride the monster waves
only tackled by those who've trained to
handle the extreme size and strength of
the monsters. Few can actually surf in
these conditions and many have been
injured trying. For every day surfing
that varies from flat to excellent
swells cresting up to 10 or 12 feet,
surfers travel the coast to find the
best waves. If you've never tried to
surf, there are lessons available at
many populated beach regions. Or you can
begin on a body board to gain an
appreciation of the feel of the ocean,
then work your way into a surfing
experience that often can turn the
novice surfer into a surf addict.
