Description

Stairway to Heaven, surfing Pleasure Point, Santa Cruz, California 2018
Depicted is "The Hook", one off Santa Cruz's top surf spots. Surfing came to California in the early 1900's. As surfers traveled up and down the coast, the sport caught on and eventually became an important part of California culture. Today because of their strong connection to the ocean and the amount of time they spend in the water, many surfers work hard to keep the oceans clean. They know firsthand the importance of balancing recreational uses of the Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary with protection and preservation.

The Hook is located down the stairs at the end of 41st Avenue. Named for the copious amounts of kelp in the lineup that “hooks” around skags and booties, this nice little point break also has a lot of surfers that are “hooked” on the spot. Nevertheless, it’s got a right-facing wave that, if you can maneuver around the flock, is to die for. On bigger days you might get away with shortboard but it's generally big sticks out there.
