Surf Museum

The North Shore town of Haleiwa claims the only surf museum on the island of Oahu. This collection of memorabilia traces the evolution of surfboards from an enormous, weathered redwood board made in the 1930s for one of Waikiki's legendary beach boys, to the modern-day equivalent— a light, sleek, racy, foam-and-fiberglass board. Other items include classic 1950s surf-meet posters, 1960s surf-music album covers, beach movie posters with Frankie Avalon and Sandra Dee, monochrome photos by legendary surf photographer LeRoy Grannis, vintage surfboards ... and best of all, a very cool 1950 Ford Woody.

Admission is free. Located in the back left of the North Shore Marketplace on Kamehameha Highway.
