Wavecrest Woodie Meet is the world’s largest gathering of wooden bodied automobiles. On the third Saturday of September, Woodies gather at Moonlight Beach in Encinitas, Calif. Participants and spectators spend the day admiring the wood, swapping stories, surfing, and barbecuing.

In Orange County, the Huntington Beachcruiser Meet is an annual event every March featuring a quality, caliber, and variety of beach cruising vehicles that is unsurpassed. The meet is open to all “Beachcruisin” vehicles manufactured through 1967. If you hauled your board, buddies, or babe to the beach in it, it’s a beachcruiser. This event features station wagons, sedan deliveries, convertibles, VW transporters, nomads, woodies, pick-ups, and other similar vehicles of the era.

Proceeds from both Wavecrest Meets go toward important community programs and the National Woodie Club Scholarship Fund. The two Wavecrest Meets also naturally draw some of the most outstanding vintage longboards displayed with the Woodies and Beachcruisers. Karl Strauss Brewing Company is proud to support these two world-class local events. Please visit www.sandiegowoodies.com and www.wavecrestwoodies.com for more info about this year’s events.
