Huntington Beach Visitors Guide 2008

Surf CITY u ® BrAnD uSA Surf CITy uSA® SODAS by BrewBakers We have partnered with BrewBakers, a Huntington Beach-based beer and soda brewery to manufacture and bottle soft drinks with a Surf City label. The line of six retro flavors includes root beer, diet root beer, creme soda, orange soda and cola. The beverages are becoming more available in stores around town, including BrewBakers and the Farmers’ Market on Pier Plaza. www.brewbakers1.com THE Surf CITy uSA® BrAND Surf City USA® — the official brand of the Huntington Beach Conference and Visitors Bureau — was inspired by a long history of beach and surfing culture in the city. It is not just about geography –– it’s about the surf, sun and fun. It’s about living the Southern California beach lifestyle best exemplified by Huntington Beach … Where It All Began. Over the past few years, the brand has entered the international marketplace with a range of merchandise and services offered through a growing family of licensees and marketing partners. Here’s a brief recap of some of the most successful efforts to date. OffICIAL Surf CITy uSA® CrEDIT uNION NuVISIoN FeDeRAL CReDIT uNIoN NuVision Federal has a 70-year history in Huntington Beach. It first served employees of Douglas Aircraft, which later became McDonnell Douglas and then Boeing. Opening its membership to the community in 2004 has enabled NuVision Federal to extend products and services to those who live or work in the region and surrounding states. Becoming the official credit union of Surf City USA® has allowed them to become more closely identified with our local community. www.nuvisionfinancial.org 2008 Surf CITy uSA® BEACH CruISEr by Felt Bicycles Looking for a cool alternative to showcase the city, we realized a beach cruiser fit the bill. Felt Bicycles builds a beach cruiser worthy of the Surf City USA® name. With its new earth burgundy and wood panel graphic emulating the iconic “woody” surf wagons, and emblazoned with the official Surf City USA® logo, this bike combines the look and feel of our laid-back community. www.feltracing.com Surf CITy uSA® rETAIL GIfTS by California Greetings California Greetings, a retail store in downtown Huntington Beach, offers official Surf City USA® gifts and souvenirs.
