Bolinas
Bolinas in Marin County, California.
We're getting pretty northern now. Bolinas is a popular, beautiful beach with some decent, albeit chilly options for some fun waves.
Fort Point
Fort Point in San Francisco, California.
Surfing in the shadow of the Golden Gate bridge doesn't get much more California-iconic. Fort Point is probably a spot that's better observed and admired rather than surfed unless you're knowledgeable of the dynamics and a strong swimmer.
Linda Mar
Linda Mar in Pacifica, California.
While it's certainly not the best surf spot in the WPA Surf Poster series by any means, Linda Mar holds a special place in my heart. Growing up in the East Bay, this is where many of my early surf sessions took place. It's probably the first spot I ever drove to after getting my driver's license. I have vivid memories of driving over the hill to get the first glimpse of just what kind of waves we'd be dealing with as my friend cued up the right track on the right CD to accompany our arrival into the parking lot. And you can't beat Taco Bell right on the water - that's fine dining.
Mavericks
Mavericks in El Granada, California.
Known around the surfing world as California's perfect, jumbo-sized wave, Mavericks is a sight to behold when conditions align.
Ocean Beach
Ocean Beach in San Francisco, California.
Ocean Beach in San Francisco produces some of my favorite surfing photographs of all time - absolutely perfect-looking barrels with the eclectic mix of buildings, rooftops, cars, and city streets in the foreground. While riding one of those oft-photographed waves is a different reality, daydreams and mind-surfing are just part of the territory.
