I am looking at this in the larger context of starting a startup.

SurfOffice to me is an indicator that sometimes the most productive thing to do is to get away and focus on your startup. You don't have to be in SF or NYC.

FiberHouse - Feld's KC Fiber House and Homes for Hackers are other examples of this and there are many more.

One big aspect of starting a startup is runway and with the prices of rent in SF and NYC through the roof getting away to a place that is relatively inexpensive, where other people are also working on projects is a great way to focus and extend runway.

I believe it's important to have that out of the office time, to get your subconscious problem solving with a hike, surf, bike and sunshine. This is a step in the right direction when it comes to the startup lifestyle.
