As a young girl growing up I always wanted to learn how to surf. I watched all the surfing movies and wore the clothes, alas... living on Long Island Sound wasn't exactly conducive to learn how to hang ten,. So I had to settle for water skiing instead .This easy breezy lifestyle is so popular and adds such a cool vibe to a beach house, or any house for that matter. All that's needed ....a surfboard, and if you don't have one, make one!
I just had to share some photos from the surf movies that I loved growing up!.Some of my readers might not know of the classic surf movies of the 60's, like Beach Blanket Bingo and Blue Hawaii, or Gidget If you do, it will bring back some memories..

I loved all your pics of all the different things people do with surfboards for their home decor. The coffee tables are really neat. I loved gidget. She still looks the same too!
Love all those surfboards - and good to see "Gidget" again! Love her!

Gidget is my favourite. Love the shots. You can't beat a surf board as a beachy icon.

I loved all the different interior photos with surfboards, down to surf board shaped windows! Love it! Glad you found me and told me about your site :)
These are so wonderful!! I would love to learn how to surf one day but Lake Michigan is not the place to do that. Although I have body boarded in the lake, does that count?! :) Anyway, I would also love a surf board in the house, my eyes have been peeled for one at the right price. :)
