International Surfing Museum, Surf museum in Huntington Beach, United States.
The International Surfing Museum displays a collection of surfboards, photographs, and historical artifacts documenting the evolution of surf equipment and techniques.
Founded in 1987 by Natalie Kotsch, who never surfed herself but recognized the need to document the local surfing heritage in Huntington Beach.
The museum exhibits reflect the influence of surfing on global sport, fashion, music, language, and media through carefully curated displays and rotating collections.
Located at 411 Olive Avenue in downtown Huntington Beach, the museum opens Thursday through Sunday with regular exhibitions and special events.
The museum maintains records and memorabilia of the OP Pro contest, which evolved into the US Open of Surfing, a major competition in the region.
