Museum of British Surfing, Surf museum in Braunton, England

The Museum of British Surfing displays over 300 surfboards spanning a century of design evolution in a converted railway goods shed.

Founded by journalist Pete Robinson in 2003 as an online resource, the museum opened its physical location in Braunton on April 6, 2012.

The museum collection includes a significant wooden surfboard from Hawaiian royalty, marking the first time this artifact was exhibited outside Hawaii.

The facility operates Friday through Sunday from 11 AM to 3 PM, with admission prices of £2 for adults and free entry for children under 16.

The institution maintains an extensive print archive documenting over 200 years of British surfing history and seeks examples from every UK surfboard maker.
