Happy #CaliforniaSurfingDay !! Last year, the California Legislature officially recognized surfing as California’s state sport, and September 20 as California Surfing Day to celebrate the history and culture of surfing in California.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Last month I had the privilege of experiencing the California surf scene first hand by taking a surfing road trip from San Diego up to LA. It’s crazy to me that the section I visited is only a small section of the 840 miles of coastline that California is home to! On my trip I could totally feel that surfing is not just a past time but a way of life embed into the culture. I consider myself an intermediate level surfer but I love that in California there is something for everyone- first timers to seasoned pros.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Something I love about this holiday is that California Surfing Day also emphasizes our shared responsibility in safeguarding the state’s beaches and ocean for future generations of surfers and visitors to enjoy.

Living in the mountains I don’t get to get out and surf nearly as much as I’d like but I still love it so much I’ll always make the effort to squeeze a little surfing in every year. Have you tried surfing before? And if so, what’s your favorite thing about being out in the water? #visitcalifornia visitcalifornia #sponsored (photo by zbellaphotography) *ps thank you so much for the fun board rustydelmar!! it was perfect for that morning!*
