Yeah, Mission Beach is an excellent surfing beach, good for beginners but also attracts some good surfers because it's a wide open beach break in the usually crowded SoCal surf scene. I was about a 5 minute bike ride away. The downside is that this is pretty much what I spent my time doing. Keep that in mind any time you consider taking any advice from me ;) Unfortunately, PB and MB are no longer anywhere near as inexpensive as they were when I was living there, so it's not quite the slacker paradise it used to be.
