Product Description
San Diego County has nearly 75 miles of picturesque coastline on the mighty Pacific Ocean, and for decades, San Diego has boasted of producing some of the worlds finest surfers. But here surfing is more
than a sportit is a Southern California lifestyleand as such has heavily influenced the beach towns throughout the county. Much research points to surfing having come to Southern California in 1907,
and it may have taken hold in San Diego as early as 1910. Join with us in this wonderful pictorial journey through San Diegos little-known surfing past.

 The way we were April 20, 2008
For anyone who grew up in southern california in the 60's this book brings back some great memories. For anyone interested in the beach culture of this era this is a very accurate window into that space.
There are a limited amount of quality photos available of this time and place. This little book captures a nice mix of the major players who helped shape the culture and "joe ordinary" who found themselves shaped by the same events and lifestyle.
Surfing In San Diego,CA; is a nice companion piece to All For A Few Perfect Waves; the new Miki Dora Bio by David Resnin.
