Offshore brings you along with Ventura, California, native, surfer, and Patagonia surf ambassador Mary Osborne as she shares her favorite place to escape. Osborne loves to explore the different areas around Ventura, but when the time comes, she heads out to the Channel Islands for her serenity. This place is close to the California coast but somehow manages to feel worlds apart, and it has been known as North America's Galapagos with over 2,000 species calling it home.
