Don't know if we'll have a chance to get out into the water with some boards or not while out in San Diegooooooooo, but if given the opportunity I'd love to give it a whirl. I've only tried surfing once, and I never got up. However, to my credit I was on a 6 foot board (really short, not good for beginners) with no lessons......at the jersey shore. Some might say those were unfavorable conditions to try surfing for the first time.
Before he became famous for his music, Jack Johnson was actually a surfer and movie-maker. I have the dvd at home of his film 'September Sessions' - amazing amazing film. Beautifully shot and really makes you want to pick up your board and get out into the water. During the filming on this trip, Jack wrote the song 'F-Stop Blues' which is hands down my favorite Jack Johnson song. He wrote it with the help of his fellow surfers and was written about this particular trip that they all took. So it goes without saying that this clip from the movie is one of my all time favorite music/video clips. Enjoy.
