Sunset – July 2019

GUIDEBOOK

THE WEST COAST is blessed with an abundance of surf, from the warm waters of Ha-

waii and Baja California Sur, Mexico, to the frigid waves in the Northwest. Rent a classic

VW van and road trip along the coast, or base yourself at a surfer-friendly hotel where

you can roll out of bed and be steps from perfect point breaks. If you can’t get away, a

pre- or post-work surf session is easier than ever thanks to a new crop of surf clubs of-

fering conveniences and comforts like board storage, lockers, and saunas. Whether

you’re a seasoned rider or a beginner with a blue crush, you'll find all the intel you’ll

need here for an epic summer of surf, from stylish yet functional swimsuits to eco-

friendly boards, plus tips from the West’s best surf schools. —Jen Murphy
