 <\/p>\n

Machine gun staccato guitars drenched in dripping reverb, twangy plunk, bouncing bass, driving, tribal drums………most are unaware that the musical genre known as \u201cSurf\u201d that was catapulted onto the radar of modern pop-culture by Pulp Fiction has evolved and developed into a full-blown sub-culture with fanatic followers, complete with its own online ground zero, a website called (what else?) surfguitar101.com.<\/p>\n

Once a year, the fanatics convene for a marathon 12-hour festival of all things surf–live performances by 8 of the best bands in the genre from all over the world, a \u201cLiving Legends of Surf Jam,\u201d which features performance collaborations from the original players that were there back in the genre’s 60s beginnings, a surf music and memorabilia marketplace, and an extremely generous raffle featuring music, clothing, collectibles, and musical instruments and accessories from prominent makers\/sponsors such as Fender, Eastwood, Nocturne Pedals and many more!<\/p>\n

Now in its 5th year, the Surf Guitar 101 Convention has grown from a small gathering of geeks, to an all-out international festival, drawing attendees and interest from across the globe to Los Alamitos. Starting Gate, an all-age concert venue with full food menu and bar. 2012 promises to be the largest convention yet, with substantially increased advertising, marketing and corporate sponsorship.<\/p>\n
