California is the birthplace of modern surf culture, offering diverse surf spots, golden sunsets, sandy beaches and enough perfect waves to satisfy any surfer. From the northern border of Oregon to the southern border of Mexico, there are 840 miles of beautiful coastline. There is no shortage of surf spots along California’s massive coastline. Exposed to swells from the north, west and south, there’s always a wave to ride somewhere in California. Californians take their surfing so seriously that in August 2018, the state assembly voted overwhelmingly to enshrine surfing as the state’s official sport, and a brand-new holiday was created as well, September 20th is California Surfing Day.
