Surf City, USA

When it became too rainy to bird, we headed to downtown Huntington Beach, the official Surf City USA (registered trademark).

Main Street is pack with giant surfing stores, and it's home to the Surfing Walk of Fame and the International Surfing Museum.

And this cool old station wagon:

We walked down the long pier and had lunch at Ruby's Diner.

Decorated with a surfer theme, of course:

They were playing swing music from the forties, but it turned out to be a chain from the 80s.  Burgers and shakes were good though.

In Huntington Beach the firetrucks carry surfboards.

We stopped to watch the surfers from the pier

WIPEOUT!
