Lost Mountain Surf - CLOSED

I came from a small town on the Central Coast of California, Cayucos which means canoe in Chumash. There are plenty of waves, sunshine, and room for everyone to enjoy the active lifestyle we all look forward to year round. In the late 70's my first job was in a dive shop called Al's Sporting Goods. We were mostly a dive shop, but did have a nice rental quiver for the tourists and locals kids and some surf gear. That is where I got my start in surfing. And it has stuck with me ever since. It was a great job! Since I have relocated to the Olympic Peninsula, I have had the honor and pleasure to visit some of our pristine beaches and forests. Considering I grew up in an epic place full of sunshine and lots of great waves, which by the way, were a little bit easier to access, (but lots of them still secret,) this area took me by surprise. There were waves here too!! I didn't believe it at first, but after seeing car after car go by with a board or two on top, I realized I had just moved to heaven.
The beaches here are not just a hop, skip, and jump away. You definitely have to do some work to get there. But once you are there, heaven is at your feet and all around you. It seems that no matter where you are hunting for surf, it is always the same story, the locals want to preserve the secret spots and the adventurers and beach combers want to find and also enjoy the secret spots. So one of Lost Mountain Surf Company's goals is to try and find a balance somewhere in between.
I have a great respect for our mother earth and believe if we do not tread lightly upon her, we will have very serious consequences to pay in the very near future. Therefore, the secret spots will remain secret with me. However, there are plenty of very stunning beaches that are accessible with ease and are great for camping, surfing, kayaking, diving, kite boarding, fishing, hiking, and beach combing.
