Historic Windansea Surf Shack @ Blue Hour

#IconicSanDiego The Windansea Surf Shack is one of the oldest and most prominent beach landmarks in San Diego. The palm-covered hut was first constructed back in 1946 by Woody Ekstrom, Fred Kenyon and Don Okey, though it’s been destroyed and rebuilt a few times over the years. The Surf Shack has been a part of La Jolla history for more than 70 years and is so deeply embedded in the surf culture that it’s now a symbol of not only the beach itself, but of a longstanding, deeply rooted local surfing tradition. Both surfing and the little shack are, and always will be, a huge part of the La Jolla scene, especially since its designation as a Historical Landmark in 1998 by the City of San Diego.
