Santa Cruz or Huntington Beach the REAL Surf City?

Question

Both claim to be "the surf city", but which one do you think is the REAL Surf City? And Why?

Answer 1

santa cruz

Answer 2

If you wan to get really technical neither of them would be.  That title would either go to Surf City, NC or Surf City, NJ, since those are those cities actual names.

Answer 3

huntington beach, thats were the us open happens and so many people know about HB's strong surf culture

Answer 4

ha this is a bit funny to me.

uh i would say hunigton beach becuz i wen i do go there is always more ppls but thats cuz like waaaaaay more ppl live inn that area thatn in the SC's area.

BUT

i am gonna say santa cruz better since i live kinda close to it.

=)

thoughi would rather go to hunigton beach...
