Welcome to the Ocean Beach California VW Bus report. This is the ongoing trip, maintenance, and upgrade log for our 1976 VW Camper. The intent is to track the progress of "Independence" and to meet other local VW enthusiasts.

Surf Racks

Goodbye surf racks. I took them off "Independence" today.

We thought we might not be able to remove them because we didn't have the keys to the locks; but, the locks weren't locked and so the racks came off easily. The mounting brackets are still in place and if we want we can put the racks back on with a dummy surfboard.

The main reason we removed them was to reduce the weight of the camper poptop. It is heavy enough to lift without any extra weight. And since we don't surf (apologies to anyone who finds that impossible to believe).
