Due to the popularity gained throughout the years within the surf music scene and the international attendance, the organization titled it "The World's Number 1 Surf Music Event". It usually features surf bands from all over the world that have recently been under the spotlight of the surf music community, legends of the genre or even relatively new bands looking for popularity. It does not only features concerts but also symposiums, cultural happenings, artists meet & greets, exhibitions and other activities related to the music genre or reminding to the "California 60s style". It has also been connected to surfing, surf brands and lately it has got closer to the tiki scene.
  "Today, surf instrumental bands are all over the planet. There is a sizeable core audience that grows every year. Several websites are devoted to this music, and large surf music festivals are held annually in places such as Orange County, Italy [...]. You do not have to search very far to find surf music these days".
