Surfing is an integral part of Santa Barbara. Epic surf spots and some notable talent. Kelly Slater has a place in Montecito. Surf legends Pat Curren and son Tom reside here as do professional up and comers Conner and Parker Coffin. Drop by Blenders for a smoothie and you might run into a former world champion, author, and environmentalist Sean Tomson.
