Endless Summer







Tony and I took a drive along the Southern California coast yesterday, both for the simple pleasures of a road trip and also to scout out possible locations for him to coast under the radar, operating out of the back of his vehicle while learning the rudimentaries of surfing.

We determined that the extreme southern reaches of San Diego and the woolier parts of Orange County might be best for this sort of thing, while the moneyed zipcodes of Carlsbad and Laguna Beach might not work out quite so well.

We had bright sunshine and glittering seas the entire trip along the sands. We also saw plenty of sprawl and commerce.
He was largely appalled by these excesses - I argued that it might be sprawl, but at least we invented this stuff.
