Surf cities catch an arts wave

Artsy surfboards in the streets of Hermosa Beach

Note to myself: I have to go to Hermosa Beach where the exhibition "Surfin' Hermosa 2004" opened today. Throughout the city 20 artsy surfboards are displayed - each of the 6-foot-tall foam and fiberglass boards apparently features a different and unique design. And while I am there I also should visit the highly praised Surfing Museum in Huntington Beach. There is this great international surfing exhibit going on which shows a great variety of surfboards, surf posters, brochures, T-shirts and other artifacts from all over the world. And over the weekend I will finally watch the legendary movie "The Endless Summer" on DVD. Life is a beach...
