About

Seaside, California, lies quietly along the coast, where the waves roll in with a sloppiness that can charm and frustrate the soul. Here, the sandy bars offer both right and left breaks, with a sandy bottom mixed with rock that can catch the unwary. The surf begins to stir at heights of 3 to 5 feet, holding strong up to over 10 feet, making it a playground for those willing to dance with the rippable power of the ocean. In this place, the sea can be fickle, yet it holds the promise of a ride that speaks to the heart of every surfer who dares to embrace it.
