The California Surf Project –
Quit your job, pack your boards,
and surf your way down the
California coast…

Sound like a daydream? The California Surf Project is the fully illustrated travel diary of two surfers who took this trip of a lifetime. Chris Burkard, a talented photographer, and Eric Soderquist, a professional surfer, cajoled their Volkswagen bus along Highway 1 from the Oregon border to the Tijuana Sloughs and discovered everything the Golden State's legendary coastline has to offer.

Relive their incredible adventure of surfing perfect waves, sharing campfires with total strangers, and keeping the bus running with duct tape and prayers in more than 200 gorgeous photographs, soulful text, and a professionally produced thirty-minute DVD.

“Surf exploration has become so focused on the far-flung and unpronounceably exotic, it’s reinvigorating to see some California natives rediscover their own backyard. Few coastal stretches offer the sheer variety of waves, colors, urban densities, and attitudes as the Golden State, and to see it all through the prism of Burkard and Soderquist made me want to put in my two-weeks notice, buy a VW bus, and hit the road. The California Surf Project will stand as a unique time capsule of California’s post-modern surf culture.”
