The Surfers’ Hall of Fame, the world’s first imprint collection of legendary surfers, celebrates its 10th anniversary in 2007 with the inductions of Sofia Mulanovich, Al Merrick, Bruce Irons and Martin Potter. This powerful class of trailblazers will leave their permanent mark on the surfing world Friday, July 27 at 10:00 a.m. in front of Huntington Surf & Sport (corner of PCH and Main Sts.).

Brainchild of Huntington Surf & Sport’s Aaron Pai, the Surfers’ Hall of Fame celebrated its first induction in 1997…inside of HSS. Four years later with a stunning bronze statue of sport’s spiritual leader Duke Kahanamoku (built and funded by Pai) serving as a backdrop, the ceremony moved outside to the corner of PCH and Main; just a stone’s throw from the Huntington Beach Pier.

“This year’s Surfers’ Hall of Fame inductees have had a major impact on our sport,” said Pai. “Their combined contributions have influenced millions of surfers across the globe and helped revolutionize the sport and industry. We are very proud to honor them and create a permanent public showcase for their achievements.”
