Dating back to 1986, this iconic Californian museum hosts a collective curation of surf history. It has been in operation for more than three decades, offering tens of thousands of annual visitors from over 40 nations across the globe the opportunity to learn about the history of this legendary sport.
On-site, there’s a permanent collection of exhibits that chronicle the history of surfboards and wave-riding for the past 30 years — including surfboards, surf art, surfing equipment, photographs, magazines, videos and surf-related media.
