Cold Water Paradise: The Life and Times of Harry Mayo and The Santa Cruz Surfing Club, 1920-1950s

Client:  Business Generated Project, Santa Cruz, CA., 2008 to present (This project is in progress and will be available in future through this website)

 

The hope of this project is to generate an online exhibit/ebook as well as a hard cover book.  We are using Mr. Mayo’s life as a lens through which to tell Santa Cruz's history from the 1920s through the 1950s, before Santa Cruz surfing became associated with the more “rebellious” culture portrayed in myth and movies.  From a mixed Portuguese and French working class background, Mr. Mayo’s life reveals the working class and recreation nature of Santa Cruz before the building of the University of California Santa Cruz in the 1960s.  We conducted oral history interviews and video walks of Mr. Mayo’s life in Santa Cruz, scanned his extensive photo collection on Santa Cruz history and surf history, and are embedding mini-documentaries made of these materials into the text. Dr. McBane helped facilitate the donation of Mr. Mayo's photo collection to U.C.S.C. Special Collections.
