www.bubblegumsurfwax.com Pretty cool!!  ;-)

My family and I are going to visit southern california.  we are looking for a good family campground, which also has surfing potential.  Interested in Santa Barbara area, but would consider anywhere.

I just got a killer new paint job on the bottom of an older board I broke a few years ago. I have never had board art on top of the glass before so I was a little worried that it would turn out looking cheesy like all the lame lost... boards look. But It turned out pretty killer. I was stoked and thought I might share...

Hello, I'm going to be moving to Santa Cruz in a couple of months (Live in Sacramento right now I’m sad to say).  I've taken surf lessons before and loved it and I want to buy a board and take up surfing.  I've talk to people about what type of board I should be looking for in a first board.  I've gotten two separate answers, either a funboard or a Big Guy Tri.  Also, I've have different opinions on the size of the board as well.  Some tell me I should get a 7 foot while others say 7 foot 6 (I'm 6 foot 1).  Also, were in Santa Cruz is a good spot for beginners?

Oh, hi, teens. Notch Johnson here.

Ever since Huntington Beach was awarded the title of Surf City, USA, both Santa Cruz Adjacent and Malibu Adjacent have been battling for the second most coveted title of "The Other Surf City, USA."

If you ask me, everyone knows that Malibu Adjacent may have the babes, but we have the waves. And we get more woodies around here than you can shake a stick at!

Just look at our history. The Santa Cruz Adjacent Surfing Club was established in 1929, on a day that would eventually come to be known as Brown Monday - the day when The Boardwalk's cesspool overflowed into the bay.

Yes, teens, you guessed it. That's how Steamers' got its name.

Our club had the biggest sticks around, we threw the biggest clam bakes, and we were never at a loss for a member.

Then in 1936, SPF 30 was created on this very beach. My grandfather was appointed as the first head lifeguard. And there's been a Johnson up in that tower ever since!

Most of all, winning the title of The Other Surf City, USA, would mean millions of dollars to our local economy and will attract thongs of people to our beaches.

So remember, teens, everything you read on the Internet is true. And if you don’t have time to read, you can always get the unpopular kid to do your homework for you.

Until next time, this is Notch Johnson saying...Ride the big one!
