Which is the REAL Surf City USA?

[KitchenWitch]

Huntington Beach, California, or Santa Cruz, California?

As someone who recently relocated to SoCal, but listened to enough Beach Boys music over the years, I have to say Huntington Beach!

1. Huntingdon Beach, all the way

Always and forever.

Fewer white sharks thereabouts, too.

Given the choice, though, I'd rather live in Santa Cruz. Go, Fighting Banana Slugs!!!!!

12. Haleiwa (North Shore), Oahu, Hawaii. If you insist on continental U.S...

I'd say its Half Moon Bay in Northern California, which is the town closest to Maverick's beach.
