The world is a big place and as amazing as Santa Cruz is , it is still only one city. The world is becoming a global village don't get stuck sitting on the porch thinking the world is as far as you can see. Good Luck with Barney I think you are standing too close to the fire.

I met you a few months back at a startup mashup in the Bay Area, and have been reading your blog ever since. Nice media coverage btw. As for Santa Cruz, you nailed the skateboard aspect. It is a brand for sure. But there is more to the Santa Cruz name than just the skateboards. First there is the bike and snowboard company that has produced world renowned product for adventure athletes. Then there is the O'Neill contingency based out of Capitola. Add in the recent lawsuit for "Surf City," and Santa Cruz has done a phenomenal job making itself more than just a reference in an old Beach Boys song. Anyhow, if you get a chance, drive up to Ben Lomand (6 miles inland) and eat at Ciao Bella (http://www.ciaobellabenlomond.com/) you will not be disappointed. Cheers Hey Matt,
