With Michael and Hedda, Mike and I ended up in a highly enviable position for anyone who might surf. Of course, we don’t but got to see first hand what it’s like to be at a prime surf location. Santa Catalina is pretty rustic with no “real” hotels, and very few restaurants, but people come for the waves. We spent 4 nights enjoying the unspoiled beaches. Michael did some surfing, and even spent a day teaching Mike and I how to surf. It was a blast– although not exactly as easy as Michael makes it look.
