This post is after the fact for this event but that’s because it was intended to be a surprise for Jeff Big Tiki Dude which last Sunday was presented The Earl Beasley Endowment Huntington Beach International Surf Museum Lifetime Membership Award for his contribution to the museum and his many years of support of the surf music scene. This was a well deserved acknowledgement for Jeff who spends a lot of his time making sure that surf music remains alive and well in Orange County and beyond.

Congrats Jeff. I'm sorry to hear about Baja Marty. I remember the benefit you threw for him last Oct, how even in his weakened condition he went up to the stage to conduct the surf band. That he could have such a love for life while battling cancer was inspiring. You are a good friend. |

I barely started following the Tiki scene and I even know who you are and how passionate you are toward all things surf music. We need more people like you in the world to help advocate this great style of music. I appreciate all your postings letting everyone know about whats going on and who is playing where and your sprinkled knowledge about these great bands. Thank you for all that you do. Surfs Up Dude!!! |

Jeff, I’m truly sorry to hear about your pal Marty and would like to extend my deepest condolences to you and his family. The first time you and I spoke was at the Tiki Farm parking lot sale in 2008. I was wearing a surf rock tee shirt which sparked a conversation about surf bands. Marty was with you and came across as a very nice guy. He gave me advice that day I never forgot. “Turn up the reverb until your ears bleed!”-Baja Marty |

Well deserved. Jeff truly is the keeper of the surf flame. If it was up to Jeff, Tiki Caliente would consist of only Surf. Thanks for the passion of surf and helping to keep it relevant. |

Not just surf. Jeff helps to keep the idea of real hawaiian music around too. For years, the Smokin Menehunes had a "residency" at a local huntington beach restaurant, and there was only ever a handful of tiki centralites that came...but jeff was there. Each and every time. We don't forget that kind of thing. |

I really wish that we could have made it to the Surf Museum to see him get the award. I'm very proud to call Jeff my friend. Really sorry about Marty, Jeff. He was a good dude. I remember having beers with him while watching The Eliminators at the fairgrounds. He'll be missed. |
