LAGUNA HAS LONG NURTURED A community of surfers , with professional wave riders like Jon Rose , Jeff Booth and James Pribram calling this town home in recent years . Looking back , Hobie Alter got his start shaping surfboards in his parents ’ Oak Street garage and the Brooks Street Surfing Classic is now in its 58th year .
But surfing isn ’ t just about competing . The following surfers are making an impact in other ways , from giving back while traveling to teaching the sport to the next generation or filling us with awe as they post videos of themselves catching impressive waves and exploring remote places , taking viewers along for the ride .
While it would be impossible to feature every standout surfer in town , here are just a few of the local watermen and women that are making their mark .
