I'd completely forgotten about Beach Hop, went years ago in a mates '73 Camaro, great festival and so many cool cars (heaven for a petrolhead like me). The Bull Kelp Surfers will go down a storm!
The older I get, the more disappointed in myself I become.

Toyota Carroll loaded to the gunnels with 4 guitars, three amps and a spare, two out board reverb reverb units, pa speakers and stands, gear bags, a surfboard and a plastic skeleton.

There are 106 miles to Chicago. We have a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark, and we're wearing sunglasses... Hit it.

Got any pics?

If it went well for you there, you should come down to the Americana Event in Taranaki. It's like the beach hop but bigger ,and goes over 7 days.
