Toes Playa Del Rey Kids T-Shirts

This is basically where I learned to surf. There was a burger place called The Shack which achieved a certain amount of notoriety and fame, we used to tank up on the goods and surf from dawn until dusk. Teenagers...

Back in the 1950’s and early 1960’s, Playa del Rey, California was known as a great surf spot. The northernmost end of Playa del Rey was coined "Toes Over Beach" ("Toes Beach" or just "Toes" for short) by local surfers, in reference to the iconic "hang ten" foot positioning.

Toes Beach Jetty in Playa del Rey (PDR to locals) is the northernmost end of Playa del Rey. The beach was named by a group of local surfers one summer day circa 1961 as "Toes Over Beach," "Toes Beach" or just "Toes”, a name derived from the "toes over," "toes over the nose" or the Hang Ten surfing maneuver. A portion of proceeds will be donated to Surfrider Foundation. Protect the waves and beaches you love!
