da hulk's Surf Links*

*I am always looking for new sites to add to this page. I would love to hear from you concerning a website you think might round this page out. I don't update it very often and there are other folks who have taken it on themselves to list every possible surf-related site on the web. So, I started with Santa Cruz and longboard sites first, good on-line camera sites around the world second, and a representative group of international sites of the best quality possible comprise the rest. You know, "such stuff as dreams are made of..." Finally there are a few sites that are so unique or interesting I list them just because.

Santa Cruz Sites

• Richard Schmidt: Richard has developed an award winning site that definitely provides both style and content. Besides...he posts some of my stories...
• Santa Cruz Surf Museum: This is a really cool museum and visiting it always brings back lots of memories since it has lots of pictures and memorabilia from the 60's forward. There are even a few obsure relics from the local beach crews in evidence if you look closely enough, including Larry's Moana Makani jacket and an RSO club patch.
