Calling All Paddlers to Santa Cruz

Top-rated paddle surfers and kayak surfers will be braving ocean swells through Sunday at the Santa Cruz Kayak Surf Festival.

This year's festival includes a new elite category of stand-up  paddleboard surfers and team competition for college and university students.

Opening celebrations begin at 5 p.m. Friday and feature music and  barbecue. The festival will feature music and food booths for visitors  throughout the weekend.
