[mikedub]

[xgen70]

Promised land my ass,...what a joke.

[aka pumpmaster]

if you could eliminate all the people, CA would be sweet.

[steelwave42]

sounds like you got it set up nice with the job and all. good luck and have fun!!!

[xgen70]

I think that is what I was getting at as well, can't hate on him for living his life. even though I can think why I might not care;)

I would love to explore CA myself: Bike trails, Scenic views, the Outdoors. WAVES, SNOW.

You always hear talk of all the different generations that have made the trek out wEST, from early American/European expansion to the sixties, the eighties build up push, the nineties immigration waves,...........

the cliche' seems to have come to a screeching, /halt

so many people, the rat race times a thousand compared to here.

who knows,...... hope you enjoy your time no matter.

[El Porto]

Good luck brother. When I graduated from college I loaded up and moved to CA and didn't come back for 15 years. Heading west was the best decision I've ever made.

Promised land my ass,...what a joke.

LMAO... damn guys. You guys make California out to be one big LA.
I can't blame you. It's what you see in the magazines, on TV, and in the movies, etc. When most people vacation out here they go to the places that they see in the magazines, on TV, and in the movies. So that's the image. Don't get me wrong... that's PB as well, and where this young man is living is a frickin dream.

But I digress... California is not all traffic. There are lots of parts of Southern California that you can surf and not see another soul for miles (especially when you start getting towards Central California). Remember, driving California is like driving from Florida up to Virginia. I doubt anybody would ever confuse somebody from Miami for somebody living in the OBX, I would imagine. Well it's the same here. Heck, it's mostly flannel and work boots up here in Ventura this time of the year, which is probably pretty different from what some guys are sporting down in HB. Not that we care.

There are plenty of parts of California that are just incredible, so sparsely populated to the point you wish that somebody else was in the lineup with you, days that pump such huge surf that most could not handle (think Ghost Tree), and you can live your own life without a neighbor around. But then you better be retired or able to work from home because the jobs are not in those towns.

Man, lots of generalizations about California. It’s just so big of a state with so many pockets and nooks of all different cultures and lifestyles. To “pigeonhole” it as one thing or another is pretty ignorant. It would be like me blasting the east coast as having lousy traffic, rude people, and everybody is a Bible thumping redneck. I know it’s not that way. I love many parts of the east coast. Especially the people. It’s the same thing out here.


Now, regarding PB… dude… you’re stoked. :D You park your car when you’re done with work Friday afternoon and you don’t get in it again until Monday morning. So many colleges in that town, I believe that there are over 20 different colleges in a 15 mile radius from you, which makes the amount of choice women sometimes overwhelming. On top of that, the women don’t wear much because San Diego is usually very warm… which means that most also work out a lot. So, you have a bunch of little hotties running around not wearing much, all with great bodies, with perfect weather, wake up and walk to the surf, grab a session at ****** and then walk over to Eggs & Things and score brunch sitting outside watching the hotties walk by while enjoying your bloody Mary and eating your white egg omelet. Then you and your boys meander down the block a couple doors over and sit outside by the Green Flash and drink some cold beers watching the surf and feeling out whether or not the south wind will die down for a fun evening session. Cruise back home, take a nap, if the winds backed down go grab a quick surf and watch the sun set from the water. Walk back home throw on some dry clothes and then walk down the block to one of your neighbors keg parties- you have no worries because there is no driving involved. If the party is weak, you are a block away from the bars on the strip.
The place is heaven for a single surfer in their early twenties if they have no real responsibilities and just want to surf, go to school, drink, and get laid.

You scored. Enjoy. :cool:

Remember to move to Claiermont when you get married and have kids. That’s what everybody else does. :D

[Mooseknuckle]

yeah who are you dirtythirty34?

[surfde]

good luck man. lucky your down in San Diego. LA is way to corrawded

I hear ya man. Every time I go out west it is magic. I will be out there very very soon for a permanent visit.

Also, I can not agree with you on the people that live on the east coast. They are far from great. Totally different mentality than the people who live out west.

To the guy moving out there good luck man. You are lucky you get to live the dream not many people get to do that.

[volcomsurf421]

J M D Nice words exactly what i was thinking. On othere words hope you have fun man sounds really awesome hopefully here soon ill be doing my dream to. Good luck and stay open minded unlike some of these douches

[MDSurfer]

. . . it ALWAYS looks better down the beach. If you know what I mean. Be sure to take all your wetsuits, you'll need them year-round.

[ECsponger]

I think we need to clarify... SOUTHERN California is what I believe is being talked down upon. It could be shaken to rubble. I think people there have forgotten that they are built atop a FAULT LINE and at any unannounced time an earthquake could happen.

We have Hurricanes.
At least we can see them coming. ...And, they bring waves :)

But zoo photography sounds pretty fun!

[jimmycraxcorn]

The way I see it....It's just one less person in the lineup

One less sponger .... BONUS!

[JZ02]

Rock- Enjoy it brother. Congrats on the job... I had a feeling you wouldn't come back for long. I'm coming out to visit. My 2mm is still in your place. Don't take it with you haha. Have fun out there and say whatsup to cleaver. Talk to you soon.

[RobfromFredneck]

I'm sure you'll love the SD area. I personnally haven't been there yet, but numerous folks I work with have been there on business travel and also I know of some people whom lived in San Diego area for about 10 years, lived in MD for 2-3 years...really hated this area then moved back to SD just last year. Also, they didn't grow up in CA either so their return wasn't due to "homesickness" or anything. They just love it out there.

[firstnamelastname]

if you could eliminate all the people, CA would be sweet.

if you could eliminate all the people who post threads about their individual future plans, this forum would be sweet.

[rgnsup]

if you could eliminate all the people who post threads about their individual future plans, this forum would be sweet.

Beats the 10 different threads about what the waves are going to be like every hour.

[jimmycraxcorn]

HAHAHAHAHA! sweet

[xgen70]

true enough,...you would want to be positive and wish him well, but my first reaction, (which I had to temper), was to ask who cares and why he felt the need to share?

He should Just go and start sending/posting some pictures of his times out west.

When I finally get my new job out west,>>> west of Cali, I will be sure not to think anyone will care if I announce the fact.

Hey, they (foxnews) just said San Diego is hiring for aerospace and defense. Sweet, sounds like the SD area is doing better then most of CA. Just got to work on your Spanish now....

[Mrocker89]

I going to pretend I didn't read the last comments. Thanks for those with the encouraging words. PM me if u need a local connection out here guys. The nay-sayers are in abundance, but if you're thinking about making the trip, don't let them hinder your plans. I managed to find a job and place to live for a great price and absolutely love it so far. Got a sweet little swell trickling in this weekend so, ill get my first taste of socal surf soon. Looks like a good chance for waves later next week for you guys! Throw on your 4/3 and bundle up in your hood for me this winter, because i ain't coming home anytime soon. Thanks again for the shout outs and slash on hard for me midtown oc. Here's a shotty picture my girl took of my car as we concluded our 5 day trip just 30 miles from San Diego. Damn it felt good to see the sun set on the pacific.

[chichacho]

yoo man I just moved out to southern california from south jersey and this place sucks. horrible. don't do it. sucks having to choose between a reef break, point break, or beach break every day. it was better when i didn't have to make decisions back in jersey. i still love jersey.

[Mooseknuckle]

your the coolest dude ever mrock....just dont wipe out with your pipe out and everything will be straight with you dude....your the man

[Shift]

Sweet pic man.

I am thinking about making the move sometime in the future, but damn its a far move.

Keep us updated on how life is over there compared to here. :D

[JohnnyUtah]

I work my business and surf both coasts and I can tell you thats its pretty black and white; A typical swell in So Cal are the ones we get stoked about in Jerz.
As a newer surfer, I simply cant get better on the east when 90% of the year we have to deal with no or 1-3' waves, beach breaks, closeouts and 5 second rides when there is a decent day.
Starting thanksgiving I'm taking my intermediate ass to Venice Beach for 6 months to get away from the cold, roll with dumb chicks and take my surf game to the next level.
I'll send you reports from el porto and suset beach's

...another angry piney local. you'll get what surfing is about one day...

[Mooseknuckle]

do explain johnny what is surfing about? Thought u were a new guy? Can u tell me what the meaning of life is as well? what happens when you die?

[MATT JOHNSON]

I might go out to Cali for a week or two in the spring . I got some friends living out there now in the Santa Barbara for about 3 months almost . I would like to go out sooner but My wife is having my third child in January so I dont wanna go around that time .

[chichacho]

i hope you're kidding...

u think im serious. i hated surfing 6-8 ft peeling waves this morning, it sucked! and i get to do it tomorrow morning wtf.

[...lostgirl]

PB kinda reminds me of OC in the summer. Pretty much a big frat party down garnet ave every night of the week. I can see how that would be fun straight out of college but north county is where it's at. Much more chill and better breaks.

[MDSurfer]

. . . even paradise has flat spells, and believe me they can be worse than the EC because here you expect much less. Take a good book.
