California Dreaming Santa Cruz Coaster by California Exotics

What's to love about this dreamy device?

Its rapid-​fire thrust­ing shaft pum­mels my pussy with up to three strokes per sec­ond — about 180 BPM on the high­est speed. It's the vibra­tor equiv­a­lent of high cadence drum-​and-​bass with the sick­est buildup and drop.

What a coast­er drop indeed!

Those flut­tery flaps on the exter­nal stim­u­la­tor? Hoooooh.

California Exotics' cli­toral vibra­tors have a his­to­ry of mak­ing me squirt, and their Santa Cruz Coaster is also a wet won­der for me. The three tick­ling tips have some seri­ous bite with their pin­point perime­ters, but not too much. They're pli­able pals that work with my body instead of bul­ly­ing under the hood.

And the broad, bul­bous G‑spotting head fits against my pubic bone like a puz­zle piece. Considering how fussy my G‑spot is about dif­fer­ent dil­do head shapes, I couldn't have asked for a bet­ter rab­bit vibra­tor for my body.

All the ele­ments syn­er­gize, hit­ting my cli­toris from end­less angles and stay­ing in con­tact with min­i­mal effort. Self-​thrusting rab­bit vibra­tors make sense. Once the Santa Cruz Coaster latch­es on, it's hands-​free hedo­nism, baby!

Santa Cruz Coaster Specifications & Measurements

Okay, so this recharge­able sil­i­cone rab­bit is a fre­net­ic G‑spot jack­ham­mer. But how do the thrusts mea­sure up?

Shown below is the accor­dion shaft, con­tract­ed and expanded.

The California Dreaming Santa Cruz Coaster fea­tures 4.26" of insertable length when ful­ly expanded.

Its accor­dion shaft con­tracts to 3.66", giv­ing us a stroke length of  0.6". In oth­er words, if you enjoy short but some­what real­is­tic thrusts, the Santa Cruz Coaster can give you that. My G‑spot (and some­times A‑spot) is in love if you couldn't tell.

Its 2.5" long exter­nal stim­u­la­tor fits a pret­ty wide range of clit-​vag gaps. You can flex it out­ward if your anatomy's more spaced out. If your cli­toral glans is clos­er to your vagi­na, you're in luck, too. The Santa Cruz Coaster at rest bare­ly has any dis­tance between the two prongs — mean­ing you'll get a pret­ty tight grip with it.

Its head's bulb is about 1.5" long by 1.6" wide, giv­ing us ample sur­face area to knead the front wall. Note that there are small ridges on the tip, though. While I enjoy the tex­tures on the silky sil­i­cone, not every­one will appre­ci­ate it.

Who Would Enjoy the Santa Cruz Coaster?

The Santa Cruz Coaster rab­bit vibra­tor cer­tain­ly isn't for every body, but its fea­tures come togeth­er beau­ti­ful­ly against mine.

It's a good fit for those who:

• Have clit-​vag gap on the short side OR pre­fer a tight grip
• Enjoy pin­point stim­u­la­tion and don't mind a lit­tle buzz
• Want INTENSE sensation
• Play in the bath­tub (Yay, waterproof!)
• Their inter­nal hot spots are slight­ly on the shal­low side

My clit-​vag gap is about aver­age at one inch apart, while many would con­sid­er my G‑spot shal­low. For me, it's at its most sen­si­tive at about an inch-​and-​a-​half inside.

The Santa Cruz Coaster's G‑spotting head and exter­nal vibra­tor are spaced super close­ly, clamp­ing on to my pubic bone and cli­toris. And since it's self-​thrusting, I can leave it in place hands-​free while it works its magic.(That's more than I can say for the renowned We-​Vibe Nova 2, unfor­tu­nate­ly. The orig­i­nal was fan­tas­tic, but the new one's hing­ing shaft is too loose to do much for me.)

Controls, Functions, and Settings

Three but­tons inde­pen­dent­ly con­trol the Santa Cruz Coaster's two motors.

Settings you get with this thrusting rabbit vibrator:

• 3 steady thrust­ing speeds (135 – 180 BPM)
• 3 con­stant exter­nal vibra­tion set­tings and 7 patterns 
  • 73, 78, 110 Hz frequency
  • 3 out of the 7 rhythms are fast and con­sis­tent enough to be useful

This rabbit's vibra­tions are strong at those fre­quen­cies but can veer on the zingy side. Again, it's best for those who pre­fer a pre­cise and pierc­ing qual­i­ty with their exter­nal stimulation.

The bot­tom but­ton cycles through the vibra­tion set­tings, the mid­dle through the thrust­ing, and the top instant­ly shuts both motors off. The California Dreaming rab­bit vibra­tors also con­tain chips to "remem­ber"  which set­ting it was last on.

Downsides of the California Dreaming Santa Cruz Coaster

There are two notable cons. First, its pow­er is lim­it­ed. 2.5 hours of charge gives you only 40 min­utes on high (150 min­utes on low).

And if it's low on bat­tery, it occa­sion­al­ly stalls when I push super hard against my walls. But I'd have to be try­ing to stop it. A good 90% of the time, it's still a‑chuggin' along, even as my vagi­na clench­es around it.

With how over­whelm­ing­ly intense the orgasms can be, there's no way I'd be using the Santa Cruz Coaster for any­where near 40 min­utes straight.

The Santa Cruz Coaster can't match the Velvet Thrusters, but that's fair for every­thing it does at about half the price. When you con­sid­er oth­er similarly-​priced thrusters like the Maia Max/​Monroe, the Santa Cruz Coaster still has vast vroom, vari­ety, and reliability.

It's also not the qui­etest vibra­tor I've ever tried, but I'd say its noise lev­el is pro­por­tion­al to its pow­er. With how over­whelm­ing­ly intense the orgasms can be, there's no way I'd be using the Santa Cruz Coaster for any­where near 40 min­utes straight. 🙂

Santa Cruz Coaster vs. West Coast Wave Rider vs. Orange County Cutie

If you don't want the stim­u­la­tion to be as intense, but the over­all shape appeals to you, con­sid­er the West Coast Wave Rider instead.

How the West Coast Wave Rider compares:

• Its head cur­va­ture is a lit­tle less pronounced.
• The flut­ter­ing flaps are more flex­i­ble and rounded.
• It gyrates instead of thrust­ing — which I also enjoy a lot.
• The exter­nal prong's body isn't as close to the shaft at rest.

Overall, I still like the West Coast Wave Rider A LOT but would pre­fer the Santa Cruz Coaster's tighter clamping.

The Orange County Cutie is anoth­er good pick, with a G‑spotting tip that's rel­a­tive­ly relaxed and aims slight­ly deep­er. It would be a bet­ter fit for those who:

• Have anato­my slight­ly more spaced apart than mine
• OR are try­ing to go for A‑spot stim­u­la­tion instead of G‑spot
• Don't care for the rib­bing at the Santa Cruz Coaster's tip

My Verdict on the California Dreaming Santa Cruz Coaster

California Exotics' California Dreaming vibrators offer a little something-​something for a wide variety of bodies.

For my anato­my, the Santa Cruz Coaster is the absolute best-​fitting rab­bit avail­able. You'll also like­ly love it if you're a pin­point pres­sure princess with a shal­low G‑spot and a short clit-​vag gap.

There's no such thing as the per­fect rab­bit vibra­tor, but the Santa Cruz Coaster is unde­ni­ably right for me. […] Considering my propen­si­ty to squirt […] every time I use it, my clit clear­ly likes some­thing about this rabbit. 🙂

The caveat: I'd still rec­om­mend two sep­a­rate toys instead of a rab­bit if you're an absolute zealot for the rum­ble. California Exotics' exter­nal stim­u­la­tors can be potent and splash aplen­ty, but they also won't give you a deep, basslike purrrrrrr.

(Again, the orig­i­nal We-​Vibe Nova was love­ly for its rich tim­bre, but the Nova 2's flex­i­ble shaft didn't do it for me.)

With how sharp the Santa Cruz Coaster's "tick­lers" are, though, a lit­tle buzz is more than okay. Considering my propen­si­ty to squirt and stay in the con­tin­u­ous orgasm loop every time I use it, my clit clear­ly likes some­thing about this rabbit. 🙂

Internally, the Santa Cruz Coaster's thrust­ing mech­a­nism is sur­pris­ing­ly stur­dy for its price. No, it prob­a­bly wouldn't hold up to a user bot­tom­ing out their vagi­na. But for shal­low G‑spotting, this self-​thrusting rab­bit keeps going and going and going, even when I clench.

There's no such thing as the per­fect rab­bit vibra­tor, but the Santa Cruz Coaster is unde­ni­ably right for me. When you find The One, you'll know.
