We now include VINTAGE along with CONTEMPORARY assortments of Surf, Skate, and Hawaiiana home decor, accessories, clothing, and gifts, as key items occupying some 18,000 sq. ft. of our Tropical-themed expo. "ISLAND+BEACH™" is our semiannual event, held twice a year, in June and November. Our next event, CRUZ ISLAND+BEACH™ 3, represents the eighth annual event (including the previous event called "Da Show"), features quality contemporary as well as vintage Surf, Skate, & Hawaiiana.

Our expanded and strengthened concept significantly broadens the scope of our expo while remaining true to the Hawaiian-, tropical-, and beach-themed lifestyles so important to our customers who share our passion. Our goal is to provide an unparalleled and unique one-stop shopping extravaganza carefully focused to satisfy all aspects of our enviable island and beach lifestyles.

Silent Auction Expanded, Strengthened!

Throughout the day on Saturday, November 19th, Cruz Island+Beach™ 3 will conduct its third consecutive silent auction fundraiser event in support of the Hermosa Beach Surf Legends (HBSL) Memorial Fountain Project. Cruz Nobleza has stepped forward with an unprecendented statement of support for the project by offering for the first time ever a significant selection of Surf, Skate, and Hawaiiana collectibles from her personal collection valued in excess of $8,000!

The HBSL Fountain will be a full-size bronze replica of the famous photo of Dewey Weber surfing 22nd Street in Hermosa Beach taken by legendary surf photographer and local Hermosan, Leroy Grannis, in 1966 (see the artist's rendering to the left). Water jets will simulate the spray from Dewey's trademark "Wheelhouse" cutback. Around the base of the fountain will be photo-etched granite tiles depicting the legendary surfers/watermen who emerged from the Hermosa area, including such greats as Doc Ball, Hoppy Swarts, Leroy Grannis, Jim Bailey, the Kerwins, Bev Morgan, Paul Matthies, Bing Copeland, Hap Jacobs, Dale Velzy, Greg Noll, Mike Purpus, Rick Stoner, Dewey Weber, Eddie Talbot, Phil Becker, the Meistrell Brothers, Dru Harrison, Sonny Vardeman, Donald Takayama, Linda Benson, John Baker, Mike Stevenson, Alf Laws and others. Along with the photos, we hope to preserve for posterity some of the old stories from this classic time period in Hermosan history.

The fountain will provide a lasting remembrance of a time when Hermosa Beach was at the epicenter of the burgeoning new sport of surfing. The ancient Hawaiian sport of surfing was introduced to the "Mainland" when George Freeth and Duke Kahanamoku came to the South Bay in the early 1900's. During the 60's & 70's, the surf shops were lined up along PCH and these legendary forerunners of modern day surfing were developing their skills in the local surf and creating new board designs in their shaping rooms. Hermosa Beach was where it was all happening!
