I hear ya. If I didn't live in the middle of a frickin' desert I'd be out on a sailboat all the time. Mrs. Liberty made a heckuva sacrifice, moving here from OC. She used to surf all the time.
After summer school between sophomore and junior year, we left at noon and headed to Dana Point, to surf until dark.
DP before the harbor was built, and ruined the point break. An old(er) man surfed the waves in a kayak.
Not more than a couple of miles south at the same time, Phil Edwards was experimenting with a prototype cat that would become the Hobie Cat. In the ocean, not in a bay.
For several years, my brothers and I were on the water A LOT. Surfboards, sailboats, power boats, water skies. Open ocean, and bays and inlets in OC and N. San Diego County.
