There are other considerations though besides weather. For many of us, the ability to attend this event and the Pismo Jamboree is based on the two being spaced far enough apart. While I'd love to spend weekend after weekend in Pismo my schedule just doesn't allow it. Maybe that's a unique situation applying more to me. I'd love to hear from more of you.
Given that the Pismo Jamboree is in late September, and one probably needs to space these out by at least a month (preferably 6 weeks), does it really matter if its late October or early November? Sure the weather could be bad but that's wheeling/camping. Isn't the unpredictability all part of the adventure?
Otherwise, to put this event too close to the Pismo Jam could mean this event risks losing attendance to the more established Pismo Jamboree (which will probably have better weather).
I say stick to the original dates and continue planning. Just the fact that we waffle on the dates means some folks won't get vacation requests in time to attend at all.

o.K. Enough BS,
What is the dam date ?
x2!!!!
BTW Calstyl2 i have the old swing down bumper off your old 80!!! it had a s***load of pismo sand still in it when i bought it off Nial
Haha the thing was filled. It could've been hammers as well. I never tasted it. Guess I should've lol.
I'm sure this year it will get filled up with pismo sand..... Twice
for 10 years people planned for the first weekend in Nov, why screw with it, some people have to make plans way out.
This is why Jims way worked.
do I need to change the color of blue camp?

Just saying. I put my vacation in a year in advance for this event. First weekend in Nov. Sure we have had some bad weather in the past but like the locals say give it an hour and it will change. Like all the events we are lucky to attend its not about the name, T shirt, or even the trails its about the People ! Getting together sharing stories, swapping tech info, beating on our rigs ( well some of us ) For us its more like a Family Renuion than anything else.
Hi Georg,
Here is a link: Ultimate Surf N Turf 2011
I have been keeping to what Jim said, and starting anew. Afterall, that is what he wanted. Here is the excerpt from his personal page:
"LIFE AFTER SURF N TURF
The atmosphere and culture of Surf N Turf grew from the personal efforts of a few people but that's not enough to make a great event. It is the participants, the Mob, each and everyone of you that shows up each year that gives the event it's unique character.
I'm often asked if someone will take over the event. The simple answer is no. However, don't be surprised if the tradition continues without an official event or if someone organizes a similar event. It just won't be called "Surf N Turf" we're saving that for future reunion events!
Surf N Turf has shown the strength of the Land Cruiser community and the endless possibilities available to all of us. I encourage you or your club to start your own event; call your friends together and share your local trails, it's easy and fun!
Sincerely, Pismo Jim"
With this, I took the initiative to put something together. Same great place, same great Cruiser Heads- Just a new schedule, some new events, and a fresh name. I thank you for your support, and am glad you will show up no matter what!
