San Onofre Surf Park

Surfing!Who: Josh
Where: San Onofre, California

Why: It's just a barren beach, a parking lot, and an unimpressive cliff right next to a nuclear power plant, but San Onofre is a truly special place nonetheless.

It's special because the surf is consistent, the people are laid back, and everyone is there for the same reason--to immerse themselves in sensation. Wet, cold, salty, powerful. At its best, you drop in with a couple of other longboarders,walk out to the nose, and share a smile borne of sheer pleasure.
