Mission-Surf: Mission-Surf™ is posted from a mythical stretch of coast where the pace runs somewhere between dawn patrol and sunset, and the Golden Age of Surfing never ended. The Ministry of the Golden Age keeps its office here. The Minister of Lost Waves keeps the archive. The Minister of Stoke keeps the welcome warm. Our national symbol is the longboard, often seen in woody attire. Our national bird is no bird at all. He is Kahuna, an ancient sea turtle who has watched this shore longer than anyone can count, and no dispatch leaves without his approval. Every day the Ministry files the record here: heritage, lost waves, the shapers who built it, the woodies that carried the boards, and home waters from Fernandina Beach to St. Augustine. One wave at a time, we kind of slipped into the Golden Age, and decided to stay. SeaYourSoul™
