CULTURAL EXPERIENCES
California has a rich history of innovation, where craftspeople have for hundreds of years defined what it means to be “Californian”, and Southern California – Laguna Beach in particular, has been a place of pronounced inspiration. Our experiences will take you into the workshops and personal lives of these makers and creators.

In the 1950’s, local waterman Hobie Alter created the very first foam surfboard from his parents garage right here in Laguna Beach, and changed the surf industry forever. Today that legacy continues. Hobie surfboard shaper Gary Larson creates custom boards from the shaping bay at the Hobie Surf Shop in Dana Point, where the very first Hobie Surf Shop began.

There are arguably very few more authentically Californian experiences than having a surfboard custom made, but conspiring on the design and shaping your own board under the tutelage of a true artisan takes this to the next level.

Your experience will start before you even check in at The Ranch. Gary will call you and talk over the board of your dreams – walking through the process of choosing the right blank, learning about contours and rail, colors and design.

Once you arrive, your day with Gary starts with lunch at a local brewpub across the street from Hobie Surf Shop in Dana Point. Over lunch, and maybe a few locally crafted beers, you will learn about Gary and his journey as a surfboard shaper, talk board design and any last-minute design inspiration.

Gary is also a college professor, so lunch will not be boring! After lunch, you walk over to the shaping bay where the artistry begins, working with Gary in shaping the essence of what will become your dream board.

SHOPPING
Laguna Beach shopping boutiques put a unique spin on every experience. Shopping is always fun and funky thanks to the array of specialty boutiques, eclectic shops and fine art galleries.

Homegrown, small-town businesses curate a unique blend of clothes, jewelry and art you’ll find nowhere else-including Hobie Surf Shop and Tuvalu, where The Ranch at Laguna Beach guests receive 10% off select in-store items when you present your room key.

ARTS
Renowned for its eclectic collection of local artisans, Laguna Beach’s art scene is something special. Galleries sprinkled throughout Laguna feature the passion and creativity of this thoughtful community.

The Sawdust Art Festival, Festival of the Arts, Pageant of the Masters and Art-A-Fair draw international crowds and acclaim. In respect to our family of artists, we proudly feature many handcrafted, locally created art throughout the resort grounds. For more information, visit our Docent at The Ranch House.
