Last fall, the Burlington Business Association and the Lake Champlain Chamber of Commerce announced the Queen City’s new official slogan: The West Coast of New England.

Seven Days video correspondent Louis “Lou” Armistead asks his fellow UVM students to weigh in on this spiffy new motto. Not surprisingly, the California kida hate it.

So how does Burlington compare to the real West Coast? Lou grabs a surfboard and heads down to North Beach to find out. Cowabunga, dude!
