The Surf City weather was a typical cool morning, than warm and sunny the rest of the day. The City of Huntington Beach has embraced the Beachcruiser Meet 13 straight years. Saturday started with participants arriving at the sold out event as early as 4:30am, by 5:30am Main St was full of “Beachcruisers”! The Pier Plaza area was where most of the Woodies parked and the adjacent parking lot contained another 100 or so Cruisers. On Sunday the feature is parking Woodies on the Pier. The pier and downtown area came alive, filled with spectators. The stores and restaurants were visited by people enjoying the eclectic collection of cars on display. Brett Harrell and his High Energy Sound Machine provided great surf music all weekend.

This weekend honors the Golden Age of surfing when we hauled our board, our buddies and our babes to the beach.
