December 2009. This is the break closest to home - about a mile down my street. I rarely shoot there and almost never get anything. Brad Ettinger surfed the same spot this day at sunset and said he caught two of the best waves he's caught in California, and he's caught a lot of good waves. Photo: Chuck Schmid/Surf-Shot.com
It’s sort of funny. Although our office is in Los Angeles, none of us here in The Inertia office are actually from California. We’re an American heartland/East Coast/Canadian West Coast mishmash that all happen to like what California has to offer. We’re like pilgrims! “Westward ho!” they said from their covered wagons. And now look. Here we are, basking in all this great state has to offer. And although the covered wagons have turned into more cars than should be on earth (at least here in LA), man oh man, are there some good waves. Here are 50 images submitted by our talented contributors that caught our eye.
