I've been staring at photos of it since the 60's when I started surfing... and never been there. The area where I live in California is super expensive, crowded, and everyone drools on and on about how great it is... It's actually ugly af. Haha. I just have to laugh or go totally insane
That is a shame that you never got to come and surf some of our beaches if I am correct I think we held one of the first world champion surf contest just few beaches away from me at Lennox Head Beach some of the best surfing is done along this part of the coastline. I was in California a few years back and agree in what you say but there mountain are great were I stayed in Danville Town.
I'm in Long Beach... LA County - North Orange County. It's the worst! Haha. The rest of California is pretty nice. Yes, I am familiar with Lennox Head! I think it was George Greenough with a camera on his back out there in a very old and unbelievable movie that I first saw it. :)
Nice bit of filming that would have been tough work with that huge camera on his back but done a great job considering, I really do love watching all them surfers how they take control and just slide through those tubes always intriguing. I am trying to build up a archive of my best surf photos that I capture so I can do a post on it, this is one, I captured last weekend but they are not easy to capture perfectly with just a cell phone.
Thanks @rossfletcher Australia really has some awesome coastlines and beaches 👍
