NOR CAL?????

I see alot of people here and even more so on wakeboarder throwing up the Nor Cal logo in there post's and sporting a Nor Cal pride type of vibe.
Thats cool. Im from what would be conciderd Nor Cal, Redwood city, and ride the Delta and other lake's in the regon but feel like there is a Division of Nor Cal Vibe is kind going off in a Million direction's. I have heard Nor Cal for standing for some weird thing's Have you heard this ? Like ganges and White Pride?? I know anyone can adopt a logo or look, but WTF. I know the Logo that has become popular was a local Surf Shop and it is cool to represent where your from ect. Im proud of where im from and glad to be a part. Just wanted to Ask a Question what does Nor Cal stand for or mean to you and where does Nor Cal Sart and Stop.
