Additional Surfing Infos |
| | Cowells is known as one of the best beginer surf spots in all of California. It's clean and fun, but crowded as hell, especially on a nice hot day. If you are a beginer than this is the spot for you! Parking sucks because it is right in the middle of Santa Cruz. DO NOT DROP IN on other people, that is not cool at any break. Lots of good longboarders will push you to get better. The only danger is other peoples boards.

Overview |
| |
Atmosphere |
Santa Cruz is beautiful, Cowells is right in the middle of everything, which kinda sucks, the water is nice, and in the summer no wet suit requried, people are always cool, except for the dick Sponjis that think they know how to surf |
| |
General |
Lots of beginners and surf schools which is really the only thing this wave is good for.I learned to surf here, so i really love it as a good surf spot, it by no means is the gretest spot in cali, but it holds a special place for me, i will always return there, pull out my longboard and go for some nice long rides. |
