At the 2025 Surfguitar101 Convention, Bob Dalley was selling a lot of his miscelleanous surf memorabilia. Among them was a bunch of cassette and VHS tapes that nobody was touching. A bunch of them seemed interesting, so I decided I'd grab some and digitize what I can. This was among them.

It's been 10 years since my first Surfguitar101 Festival/Convention, which is not to say that this was my tenth, but I haven't missed one yet. While last year's was fantastic, the sting of two high-profile foreign bands dropping off due to Trump's immigration nonsense forced the event into safe mode this year -- all American bands, and reverting from Long Beach's Golden Sails hotel to the Garden Grove, CA Elks Lodge location last used the year before I first attended. That said, it wasn't that much of a backpedal -- Still a three-day weekender with a secondary stage, and with some very heavy-hitting bands on the bill, like former headliners The Bomboras and The Boss Martians in addition to top-tier gets Los Straitjackets and Slacktone.
