In Pictures: America's Best Urban Surfing Spots

2581

Forget the pristine blue beaches of Indonesia and Australia. There are great waves just outside your city.

To determine the best urban surfing spots in the U.S., we consulted Matt McClain, a lifelong surfer who works for the Surfrider Foundation, a San Clemente, Calif.-based nonprofit dedicated to protecting the world's oceans. We asked McClain if he ranked his list in any particular order. "Nah," he replied. "My favorite wave is whatever one I'm surfing that day."

some of the pictures that they used for this article were really poorly chosen. like Belmar, NJ, is a picture of a bench, and Trestles is a picture of some shorebreak that doesn't bear any resemblance to the wave there. It's Forbes though, so I'm not surprised
