Few would argue that Laguna Beach is filled with amazing folks from throughout the surfing world. Last week I was honored to spend time with one of Laguna?s favorite daughters; a decorated pro surfer, high school coach and mom: Alisa Schwarzstein Cairns. ? So Alisa, where did you grow up and how did you get into surfing? I grew up here in Laguna Beach. My family and I moved to Laguna from New York when I was 9. At first we rented a house on the beach overlooking the beautiful waves of Brooks Street.
