The water here is about fifty-five degrees and surfing it meant twenty minutes and then a fire on the beach.
Jordan Peele put the hall of mirrors, the beach and the 1911 carousel of California's oldest surviving amusement park at the centre of his doppelgänger story, the same boardwalk The Lost Boys made a vampire hangout in 1987.
The oldest surviving amusement park in California, and the last of the great seaside boardwalks on the west coast.
