Summer 2006.... surfing? working?

Hey everyone... a bunch of us here at Virginia Tech are looking to spend next summer at a chill spot with good surfing (ranging from beginner to intermediate-ish), a way to make some cash and any good spots to live that arent too expensive... group from about 5-10 and some of us speak spanish and french so thats not really an issue either.... really appreciate any suggestions or experiences... thanks dudes
