BEST SURF CARS EVER

It’s a proven fact that you surf better when you show up to the beach in a dialed-in surf rig. It’s also a fact that you will heinously ruin the interior of a normal sedan with wax, sand, and foul smells if you’re wedging boards and wetsuits in the back. You need a good surf car, so if you’re on the market for dedicated surf transport, here are the models you want. All can be had for less than $7,500.

Volkwagen Vanagon (early 1980s – 1990)

You Want This Because: Big as a studio apartment inside; the right one will outlive you.

Forget about the VW Bus. Too old, way too slow, and terrible to drive. The Vanagon has all kinds of “modern” amenities (power steering!) and enough oomph to coax it out onto the freeway. But the best part is that roomy interior. You can have a stove, a bed, a sink, a TV, a stereo, a ding repair shop, a tacqueria, or hold ballroom dance classes in there. You can also fit about 75 boards up to 9 feet long in the thing.

LOUNGE AROUND

With autumn already upon us and winter just around the corner, it’s time to take your last sun salutation and farewell the warm weather. Yes, it’s time to pack away your bikinis and boardies and welcome in the cooler part of the year.
