Finally, we covered the region of Los Angeles. Los Angeles is located in California. I've covered many features of Los Angeles and California. So, I will just cover what I excited about. Los Angeles has many beatiful beaches. As our textbook shows the picture of a beach surfer in the first page of California, there are many places for surfing and also it is one of the most reputed surfing ares along with Australia and Hawaii. In Los Angeles, California, famous areas for surfing are Malibu, Lunada Bay, The Cove, Haggertys, El Porto, Manhattan Beach, Hemosa Beach, Surfrider Beach, Topanga, Chart House. The origin of surfing is quite interesting. Surfing was originally from the ancient Polynesian culture. Polynesians refer to the native Hawaiins. At that ancient time, the Polynesians enjoyed surfing with just piece of wood. Surfboard riding was as layered into the society, religion and myth of the islands as baseball is to the modern United States. Chiefs demonstrated their mastery by their skill in the surf, and commoners made themselves famous (and infamous) by the way they handled themselves in the ocean.
