© 2012 California Surf Museum DROPPING IN Nearly 45,000 people visit the California Surf Museum each year.  They come from every corner of the world - many are surfers, many are not.  And while our museum is honored to display various historical facets of surfing – the boards, the people, the strong influence on our culture – we are constantly amazed at the many unexpected gifts our visitors bring us, all because of their passion for surfing.  They bring us stories, and sometimes boards and artifacts, and we’d like to share a bit of their tales with you.
