Best Surf Cars

VW Bug

Everyone's favorite car from back in the day!
Add a set of Aloha racks you can take 4 buddies and their long boards to Trestles for the glass off
*Historical Fact - the trip from HB to Trestles is always financed by cashing in pop bottles found along the road. People just tossed them out the widow into the ditches that ran along side the roads. Yes we had ditches. There were pop bottles and we got to surf Trestles with a peak split among friends.

VW Bus

see VW Bug above and add more buddies or subtract the buddies and take your girlfriend, configurable for short or extended surf trips
Good mileage and sufficient ground clearance for some dirt road explorations
*It helps if you are handy with tools, both to maintain the engine and configure the space in the van
for listening to Dark Star and following the band.


Mini Truck

You can't bring a crowd - (big plus these days)
plus you have plenty of room for whatever.
If you add a shell you have security and a motel room!
This still has good gas mileage
* this mini truck niche has been supersized, do to their buyers doing the same

Bike

Given the world wide economy, gas prices ...
This would get you there and back.

I would add a rack for my mat, fins and wetsuit 

If you added a trailer you could go anywhere
you wanted to
except the moon

So let me know what is or was your best surf car ever?

Since the switch to mats the transportation requirement of moving fixed airplane wings to the beach has switched to "it's in the trunk" or "boot" if you prefer. So I drive a Toyota sedan it works perfect
