Here's an interview I just gave for the local paper's blog.
While I can't get into details, there is much more to this than meets the eyes.
As soon as we're in a position to release info I will. Its like a soap opera.
I think the late Warren Zevon summed it up nicely:"Send lawyers, guns and money".
And I'm loaded for bear.

Not sure torn down or moved. The plan I've drafted calls for a two or three story structure to be built directly across from the museum, on the inland side of West Cliff Drive. It would be a Victorian style structure based on the late 1890's Santa Cruz lighthouse that used to stand on that site.
It would house the Santa Cruz Natural History Museum, with a wing dedicated to the Surfing Museum - which would give the Surfing Museum 4-5x's more area. There would be room for rotating exhibits and a small conference hall for presentations. The basement would be a state-of-the-art storage/restoration facility.
Parking is already taken care of with existing parking in the area - and the new bathroom structure that was finished this year is a plus. We would design berms to shield vehicles from sight and also make spaces for a couple school buses.
And the top of the bldg would be the navigation light.
And, as I tease the other surfers here, it would give us an entire wing for a permanent kneeboarding exhibit!
