the ocean!! duh lmao!

Answer 2

You live in prime surfing county!  Where you should surf depends alot on your ability.  There are spots all up and down the coast there.  Santa Cruz, Pleasure Point, Ocean Beach, Pacifica, I think that capitola even has a little break over by the sea wall.  Your best bet is to find your local shop and ask them to help you out by matching your ability with a spot.

Two big factors for surfing the bay area though: COLD water and the men in grey suits (AKA Mr. Whitey).

Answer 3

THE BEACH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
