The relationship between Southern California's geography and its post-World War II development generated cultural expressions not found in the rest of the country. Among the most interesting is the rise of a uniquely Californian surf culture. During the post-World War II period, surfers carved out new cultural terrain on the warm beaches of Southern California; influenced by native Hawaiian culture, Southern California surfers developed a distinctly "Californian" language, etiquette, and music.

Love them, hate them, call them what you will ... flip-flops, slip-slaps, sandals, jandals, go-aheads, zoris, thongs, jap-flaps, toe-spreaders or foot barges - surfers and flip-flops go back a long way.

Driver’s license was my passport to surfing. Combined with a car, a part-time job and a fake ID for boozing and border crossings, it gave me the freedom to explore, and my world steadily broadened to include every inch of coastline from Point Conception to Punta Baja.
