While on the North Shore, be sure to visit Oahu's only surf museum to learn the history of this Hawaiian sport of kings. Their collection of surf memorabilia traces the evolution of surfboards from large crude planks, to sleek more organic foils. They have many ancient boards dating far back in the hawaiian culture. As well as other items like classic 1950s surf-meet posters, 1960s surf-music album covers, old beach-movie posters with Frankie Avalon and Sandra Dee, the early black-and-white photos by legendary surf photographer LeRoy Grannis, and trophies won by surfing's greatest. Curator Steve Gould is working on a new exhibit of surfing in the ancient Hawaiian culture, complete with Hawaiian artifacts. The museum is located at 66-250 Kam Hwy in the North Shore Marketplace. Be Sure to stop by and soak in a little of Hawaii's history!
