Coastal wave scene
Surf culture is the lifestyle, values, and aesthetic associated with surfing.
It encompasses beach living, casual dress, environmental awareness, and a laid-back attitude toward life.
Originating in Hawaii and spreading through California in the mid-20th century, it influenced music, fashion, and language: He's really into surf culture—wakes up at dawn to catch waves, drives a van, the whole thing.
