Huntington Beach International Surfing Museum

My mom contributed quite a few items to the museum 10 years ago including my b e l l y board with many old San onofre surfing pictures with the heart and plan a ukulele and of course toe headed brother and I and my mom dad was probably out surfing longboard. Mom's bored with 14 ft long Redwood Bolsa 75 lb got surf by the Duke! This was 1939 to 19 45 to 1959.practically grew up there in Mammoth Mountain boating surfing hunting. Mom and Dad met at San onofre Beach when they woke up and they're sleeping bags on the sand

Great collection of memorabilia, people who run the museum are super nice!

In a word, "Epic". The vibe was chill, the information, deep, and the total experience, rad.

A brief history not just of Surfing, but of Huntington Beach, and the players involved. Of particular interest was the OP Pro memorabilia, reminding me of a happy childhood spent in HB.

This place is really cool! The guide answered my questions & told me some really cool stories. If you love surfing, art or even just history. It's worth the visit. They are right next to all the stuff that costs a lot of money but it's free. Donations are accepted. The public parking is free for 90 minutes. So it's actually cost effective and out of the weather. Go.seriously it's awesome. They also sell prints of local surf artists paintings.

What a great time seeing, and learning a bit about the Southern California Surfing scene. Crazy how surf boards have changed over time.

This is such an awesome little gem! We wandered in on a Sunday afternoon with surfing knowledge on the level of zero to mid-range in our little group. The lady at the front desk and the dude who has been surfing for 60 years were so welcoming, warm, friendly positive and knowledgeable! We learned a lot and loved the place!
