Too many things to mention.

^^ Great advice from Camargo
I forgot for a moment that people from Aus like surfing as well (I know, how did I ever forget when I have been closely monitoring the results of the Bells event?!). The US Open is quite a scene and you will find lots of wonderful things to do in Orange County.
