About a hundred San Diegans decided that Friday’s weather was just too perfect to be cooped up in an office. In board shorts and with briefcases, they took work to the beach. <\/p>\n

Word of the remote work meet-up at San Diego’s Pacific Beach spread on social media and dozens turned up to Law Street Friday with laptops, routers, beach chairs and umbrellas for the pop-up event “that is so PB,” event attendees told NBC 7. <\/p>\n

“We’ve got business up top, fun on the bottom,” said Travis Laub, who had a desk set-up alongside his coworkers. “So if we want to, we have the ability to work and then pop in the water for a little surf sesh.”<\/p>\n

A remote work meet-up was held in San Diego’s Pacific Beach on March 13. <\/p>\n

In San Diego’s “work hard, play harder” fashion, attendees exchanged virtual business cards while a guitarist jammed to Bob Marley’s “Three Little Birds.”<\/p>\n

“What better way to meet other people while working remote than to come out here and, I don’t know, get some networking in, Daniel Luehm said. The day before the event, Luehm scoured the alleyways of PB for free furniture for his beach set-up.<\/p>\n

The event was organized by Scott Muirhead<\/a>, a social media content creator known for, as he describes it, taking his desk as far as possible. Social media videos<\/a> show Muirhead and his desk anywhere from the Torrey Pines Gliderport to the gates of the Farmers Insurance Open. <\/p>\n

For Friday’s event, he wanted to turn Pacific Beach “into the best office in San Diego.” Businesses joined in from Blenders Eyewear, a local sunglass company, to bagel and coffee shops. <\/p>\n

“San Diego is the best city I’ve ever lived in,” Muirhead said. “I’ve been bouncing all over the country for the last five years and I am never leaving San Diego; it’s like heaven on earth.” <\/p>\n

It was not lost on attendees that the opportunity to work on the beach in March may be uniquely San Diego, with temperatures breaking 90 degrees at the coast amid a winter heat wave.<\/a> <\/p>\n

“I have family back home who are in the coldest weather, and I have to tell you, I don’t feel bad,” Laub said. <\/p>\n

“What’s snow? We got the best snow in town,” Luehm said while running his fingers through the sand. “Not a bad way to work at all.”<\/p>\n
