Actually I’m friends with a lot of people back from when I lived and worked in LA for around a decade. Don’t miss it one bit! My friends, yes, but the lackluster waves, crowds, heck even wearing a wetsuit, wouldn’t go back even if you paid me. Oh wait, I actually have been asked many a time to go back (I had a pretty rad gig as an editor there for years) but aaaah NOPE, Nada. . . NO WAY JOSE!!!!! I love this! What you’re seeing in this photo. . . this is what brought me here, many many moons ago!
