notes: label: Description (Brief)
content: Topanga Bombers Surf Club short sleeve sweatshirt worn by Jim Fitzpatrick is navy blue with a half zipper at the pointed collar. "Topanga [/] Bombers [/] Topanga Beach," is embroidered in light yellow on the back of the sweatshirt. According to the donor, the Topanga Bombers were modeled after the surf clubs that were abundant in Southern California in the mid part of the 20th century but were more of an anti-club than a surf club. The Bombers were considered more of a posse than a club, protecting their pristine beach from interlopers and surfing any chance they got.
