Surfin Sundays, now in its 13th season, blasts off with a concert May 3 in Huntington Beach. Located at Pier Plazal, there’s a superb list of surf bands performing with the concert being dedicated to two very special people who have been valiantly beating the
odds against cancer. Founder/Director of Huntington Beach International Surfing Museum, Natalie Kotsch, is making
headway with a new method of treatment & HBISM supporter, guitar legend,
Dick Dale is now cancer free! Here’s the bands that are performing in a concert you must see!

 

BANDS:
THE WEDGE
is a Dick Dale Tribute Band and will include Special Guests Lively Ones Joel
Willenbring on Saxophone and Guitarist Jim Masoner.

 

POLLO
DEL MAR faithfully year after year comes to us
with tremendous enthusiasm and unusual surf sounds all the way from San
Francisco.

 

3 BALLS OF FIRE originates from Austin Texas but
Guitarist Mike “Burnin” Vernon has been spending a fair bit of time in Los
Angeles recording so we lucked out as well.

 

SURF ROCKERS debuted for the first time last
year on our stage and knocked our socks off. 
Special guest appearance Outer Wave’s former Guitarist Jerry Rogers.

 

DEADMEN DON’T SURF is a rare opportunity that doesn’t
present itself too often but when it does you grab it and run with it.  Two key players are Ron Eglit & Kerry
Chester

 

We invite you to join in the festivities and help us celebrate 13
years of great music, from dedicated musicians who donate their precious
time in support of the museum. Our 15 concert lineup features 39 bands, oldies
but goodies and promising newcomers as well as celebrities like Dick Dale, Dean
Torrence, John Blair & Eddie Bertrand, who just happen to
drop in. We are blessed to play host to bands from the 60’s, Spain,
Northern California, Oregon, Las Vegas, Texas, Georgia, San Diego,
Riverside, San Bernardino, Los Angeles & Orange Counties.

 

  

HB’s International Surfing Museum hosts an exhibit reception with two bands, food, drink and celebrities such as Gordie (Duane Gordon), famous board shaper.

Huntington Beach, Calif.–Boy Scouts of America is a nonprofit organization that has long been known for its focus on the environment. Nowhere is that more evident than in Huntington Beach where good deeds often go unnoticed. Recently reporter Chris MacDonald was invited by Jean Nagy of the Huntington Beach Tree Society to provide coverage of an event in which Vincent Coleman, a Junior at Marina High School, worked toward his
Eagle Scout honors. Vincent, his family, friends, members of The Huntington
Beach Tree Society, plus community volunteers,
helped with this planting of 158 california native plants around the
new Riding Arena at the Huntington Central Park Equestrian Center for
the Therapeutic Riding Center.
