For all his accomplishments, Henry Ford was a workalholic and a real stick in the mud. But not our Henry Ford, He is a surfer, The other Ford was convinced to the day he died that his Model T, built 1908-1927, was the perfect car for all purposes. Our Henry Ford would give Mr. Ford a long overdue day at the beach, without taking him away from his beloved Model T... Gotta Love San Onofre. So Classic You Can Feel It.

"This is a momentous and proud day for California – it is the culmination of many months of dedicated effort by many people to enhance and preserve California's grandeur and beauty. I firmly believe one of the greatest legacies we can leave to future generations is the heritage of our land, but unless we can preserve and protect the unspoiled areas which God has given us, we will have nothing to leave them. This expanse of acreage, San Onofre Bluffs State Beach, now has its future guaranteed as an official state park. However, its preservation still remains with those who use the park. As stewards of this land, we must use it judiciously and with a great sense of responsibility."
California Governor Ronald Reagan, Press Statement, April 3, 1971.

century longboard allows us to surf all kinds of waves, yet retain all the natural elegance of this style of surfing.
