DescriptionIn the late 1930's the sport of surfing finally arrived to stay in Northern California when a small group of surfers from Los Angeles at college in San Jose began to venture over to the coast and surf the frigid waters along the small beach town of Santa Cruz. The local kids soon became inspired to take up the sport for themselves with no formal instruction, making their own equipment and banding together to help each other along and overcome the elements. Eventually, more of the town's youth would join in and the Santa Cruz Surfing Club was formed, complete with a boardhouse and clubhouse that became the center of the social scene on the beach until World War II changed their lives and brought a sudden end to a memorable era in California's history.On View
