About Museumofsurf.com

This site was a result of a long conversation with an avid collector of vintage surfboards. I advertised a vintage board for sale on ebay and Wayne was the highest bidder, when he came to pick up the board we spoke about the history of surfboards and the people behind the scenes that never recieved the accolades they deserved.

Wayne had an extensive collection and he also said he would like to setup a website one day to share his collection with other like minded collectors. At the time I had just gotten back on my feet after spinal damage and surgery, which left me unable to do a lot so as a collaborative effort we started by pulling boards out of Wayne’s shed, house, under there over there, there were surfboards everywhere, an amazing collection. After I took photos of Wayne’s collection, I gave him a digital copy of all his boards so he could show others and also for him to peruse at anytime without having to pull the boards out.

As you will see from the list of collectors, there are an amazing amount of collectors and the boards they have are incredible. I think it only appropriate to thank all these people as they have so willingly allowed us to share their passion with all of us.

If you have a collection or even one board and would allow us to share, please contact.
