Description:
The Santa Barbara Surfing Museum is a little hard to find, but guests will be rewarded with a view of a fine collection of vintage surfing and Hawaiiana memorbilia. There is a large tiki out front to greet visitors and many more inside. In addition, guests can view a surfboard used by Gidget (the real one, not Sally Field) as well as the "Charly-don't-surf!" surfboard from "Apocalypse Now" (alledgedly the most recognized surfboard in the world). There is also a display of vintage surf-rock album covers, ukuleles, and did we mention tiki stuff? Several vintage carvings, mugs, and even a vintage home bar are all on display. The walls and ceiling are all covered in bamboo, and floor is painted with tribal designs, giving one the impression of the Pacific Islands or, at the very least, a very good tiki bar.
The museum is only open on Sunday from 12-5, but admission is free.
