While everyone else is getting shit-faced at Chez Jay, I'm going to walk you over to the former site of the Deauville Castle Club. On March 22, 1963 this is where the "Surf Battle" of the bands took place... In "Pop Surf Culture" authors Brian Chidester and Dominec Priore's own words... "Surf music peaked at one single event held over a three-day weekend at the Deauville Castle Club in Santa Monica." "...In all, the event would never be topped." Surf music may have been born in the OC, but it's shining moment took place in Santa Monica !! I will show that very spot. Update - We can also visit the former location for Pacific Ocean Park (POP) where many early 1960's Surf music competitions took place as well. [ Edited by: JOHN-O 2011-04-06 15:34 ]
