Aptos - Worlds Shortest Parade

I went to the World's Shortest Parade in Aptos on the 4th, it was a lot of fun.

When I was a kid it used to run the other direction, and this was my first time back since then, so it was a little surreal. At least after all I these years my favorite spot to watch from is still there!

Surfers in Santa Cruz

Being a surf town Santa Cruz has more than it's fair share of both surfers and businesses catering to surfers. The abundance of surfers extends to the web relating to Santa Cruz as well.

The website that is probably handling local surf, and culture, the best is probably Santa Cruz Waves. Santa Cruz Waves has a full staff of bloggers covering all kinds of topics across town, but the real value lies in their full time photographers. To really find out who has been out and about surfing and shredding in Santa Cruz, check out their durfers pahe: you can find it here: http://santacruzwaves.com/surfers/
