Mapping The Surf

Malin and Mizen is a company that makes specialty maps like the California Surf Map 

 I love the wavy lines and details showing ideal wind and swell directions, coordinates, shark sightings, etc. The hand drawn details on the land are also very nice. 


The company is named for Malin and Mizen Head, the northernmost and southernmost points in Ireland. Here you can see North Malin from the Irish Surf Map. 


They make maps for different sports, history and beer and wine. Here is part of the Irish Pub Map. The x indicates where hot food is available. 


Here is some detail from the California Vineyard Map, the letters indicate grape types and the other symbols are for visiting and tasting information. 


There are also many swimming and golf maps. 


Other surf maps include Australia with its varied topography. Kangaroos and ostriches dot the land. 


Finally, closer to home (for me) is New Jersey.
