Reply #2: Two trivial facts here

[Sebastian Doyle]

1) The Atlantic ocean is warmer - which is why hurricanes are far more common on the East Coast than the West, and when they do hit the West Coast at all, very unlikely it would ever get north of Mexico.

2) Brian Wilson never surfed a day in his life. Ironically enough, Dennis Wilson was the only actual surfer in the Beach Boys. More ironic than that is the fact that he drowned. Though not surfing at the time.
