DescriptionTiny Imperial beach, the "most southwesterly city in the continental united states" played a major but little-known role in the development of surfing and surfboards. Beginning in the late-1930's the areas first surfers focused on the spooky powerful waves just off the mouth of the Tijuana River, a surf spot called the Tijuana Soughs, or more often, just " The Sloughs". The History of Surfing in Imperial Beach tells the whole story of The Soughs, IBs other pro quality breaks and the surfers who rode those waves.
