I was back down in LA yesterday for a morning meeting. I decided to drive instead of fly because not only is it cheaper to drive but I can also bring a surfboard and take a dip in the ocean after taking care of business. The meeting went well in the morning and I was heading north out of town by noon. About an hour out of LA I stumbled onto a place called "surfers point" in Ventura. Yeah, that will do. It's a nice little right point that must absolutely light-up during the right swell, tide and wind conditions. Waves were small but I managed a few on my shortboard. Even in marginal conditions the point setup a few nice shoulders to feel the glide.
It was a surf session Goldilocks would have been proud of. The water was neither warm nor cold. The waves were not really good or bad. I wasn't quite in Southern California anymore but I definitely wasn't in Northern California either. It was just another day on the Central California coast. A place that doesn't get a lot of attention. There is a lot of talk about SoCal and NorCal but my guess is that the people of CenCal prefer it that way. So here's a short video from that magnificent stretch of coast that might just make you rethink the California landscape.
