Surfing Walk of Fame
Published December 04, 2004
It's at 101 Main Street in Huntington Beach, California.
The holy stretch of sidewalk on the North side of Main Street, between Pacific Coast Highway and Walnut Street, is across the street from the Huntington Beach Pier, across the street from Jack's Surfboards.
It pays tribute to the immortals of surfing.
An induction committee of about 80 international surf heavies submits its choices for each of six categories:
• Surf Culture
• Local Hero
• Surf Pioneer
• Surf Champion
• Woman of the Year
• Honor Roll
Inductees receive a one foot by one foot granite stone embedded into the sidewalk, with their name along with their category and year of induction.
The Surfing Walk of Fame Induction Ceremony is held annually in conjunction with the U.S. Open of Surfing Competition.
If you can handle being indoors for a few moments in Surf City, check out the International Surfing Museum, also in Huntington Beach.
Can you believe I lived in L.A. for 17 years yet never once went surfing?
