“If everybody had an ocean, across the USA … Then everybody’d be surfing, like Californi-a,” the Beach Boys sang in their 1963 signature hit “Surfin’ in the USA.” Six decades later, few would likely envision the construction site atop a bluff 410 miles east of the Southern California coast as a surf community. … Welcome to Southern Shores, a private, luxury “surfing community” surfacing amid the desert sand and sagebrush in Hurricane Valley, about 20 miles east of St. George. Jason Christensen, president of Immaculate Homes, is clearly stoked about the project he and his wife, Brittany, and Cody Larkin have been working to bring to fruition for the better part of a decade. … As enthused as Christensen is about Southern Shores, he said he is well aware of the optics of opening a luxury water-resort community in southwest Utah, which until recently was mired in severe drought and even now remains abnormally dry.
