Surfs Up!

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 adored Frankie Avalon! but not as much as I loved......

ELVIS! in Blue Hawaii.
Who can forget Sally Filed as Gidget?
