Would like to but I'll be in Santa Cruz for the weekend for the Clam Chowder event.

I'll be there Friday. In addition to the manufacturures and hawkers there are a lot of how-to seminars/films on everything fly-fishing from technique to travel.  Some of the best fly tyers are there to demonstrate and talk to, and if you've never casted a flyrod there are pools with free instruction (although it can be crowded and you may have to wait, especially on the weekend). 
There have also been kayaks there for sale in the past with the usual show discounts, I think from Adventure Sports.
Fun show if your interested in flyfishing.

Here is another show for those that can't make this one.
