So I just heard about this and I can’t believe I didn’t know about it sooner: apparently, since 2002, Doo Dah Surf Day has celebrated the mellow, playful vibe of surfing and has been a reminder to the surfing community to chill our & have fun (‘cuz on our increasingly crowded breaks, it can get a little claustrophobic & aggro). And this goofball surf-play-date happens again this Saturday at 7:30am, Sunset Beach, Pacific Palisades. Dress in your weird, wacky best & goof off, because this is one day no one’ll care if you take off in front of them.
There’ll be a raffle too, with proceeds going to the Surfrider Foundation. Donations will be accepted from 7:00 a.m. until 9:45 a.m; the raffle begins at 10:00 a.m.
There are lots of hilarious costumes (some behind the jump), but this one, along with the cute guy with the lawn chair (what?! surfers are hot!), is my favorite.
Great post, am lovin’ it. I wonder how the folks over in Pas with the Doh Dah Parade feel about their lampoon of pop-culture being used here? No matter, all in good fun and am certain Queen Mickey is please.
KPCC’s Off-Ramp covered it last year and will re-broadcast the coverage tomorrow. There’s some photos and such on their site, now. http://www.scpr.org/programs/offramp/
Looks like fun. Sunset seems like a strange place to do it since it’s kind of small and rocky.
