California sunshine and surfing go hand in hand. As our wonderful California summer continues my mind is constantly drawn to the beach and the appeal of surf culture.

Through the photographs of Leroy Grannis and Ron Church I have become smitten with  the vintage surf look. Their photographs from the early fifties and sixties captured a moment in time. Like minded devotees coming together to catch waves, hang with friends and catch some rays. With one thing on their mind, to simply have a fantastic day at the beach.

This is what California summers are all about. No matter where you are in the world, these images will hopefully inspire you to head to your local break.
