REED SAXON/ASSOCIATED PRESS ADVANCE FOR MONDAY, SEPT. 12 A participant in the Hello Kitty Boardfest, a tournament for female surfers, takes a wave alongside the famed Huntington Beach pier, anchored by Ruby s Surf City Diner, in this Southern California coastal town, famous for its waves and surfing culture, Saturday, Sept. 3, 2005. For about 15 years, Santa Cruz in the north and Huntington Beach in the south have both called themselves Surf City. But late last year Huntington Beach made a legal move to trademark the name Surf City USA, after the 1963 Jan and Dean hit. The lighthearted surf brawl between the cities got serious this week when state legislators waded into the debate. (AP Photo/Reed Saxon)
