I want to say either woodworking or recreational drug use, but I don't know enough about either to be sure.
Surfing and warehouse lofts both depend on access to specific chunks of land that are in high demand. The thought of "bumming it" on a beach is hilarious to me. Beaches are all owned by rich folks.
Actually, considering how fucked up the US housing market is, most people can't get into woodworking because they live in little apartments with no garages... you'd have to belong to a makerspace or something. Ironically I once belonged to a makerspace in a warehouse-turned-bohemian-arts building
Thread-relevantly: Not in California! All beaches are public, although some self-important transplants like to argue a right to restrict access. Vinod Khosla is one such transplant.
Beach bumming is still alive and well in Australia. There's thousands and thousands of miles of beach, all of it public, and while local councils try to clamp down on people living in vans, there's only so much they can do.
