Santa Cruz Beach Camera – Volleyball Courts This nest feed is sponsored by Sawasadee, across from the main beach volleyball courts.

Greg Stanley: Hemp Surf Art In Greg Stanley’s words “I’ve always enjoyed art and fell in love with Santa Cruz the first time I came here in 1981, when I was 19. The first time I ever surfed was in 1985 off Pleasure Point. It was like magic. I discovered a composite board made from […]
