Wavecrest is the world's largest gathering of wooden bodied automobiles. Once a year, usually on the third Saturday of September, Woodies gather at Moonlight State Beach in Encinitas California (15 miles north of San Diego). 242 Woodies attended Wavecrest in 1998. From its inception the event has been free to spectators and participants alike. Wavecrest Woodie also naturally draws some of the most outstanding vintage Longboards displayed with the Woodies.
