Hawaiian Royalty’s Boards Return | San Diego News

This Saturday at 1 PM, the California Surf Museum at Oceanside Pier is hosting a rare, once-in-a-decade event: legendary surfers will ride massive, historically accurate replicas of Hawaiian royal surfboards—crafted in 1885 by princes studying in California. These 17-foot redwood boards, recreated by shaper Bob Pearson using original designs from the Bishop Museum, showcase how surfing evolved from log-style boards post-WWII to the shortboard revolution of the ‘60s—and its stylish comeback in the ‘80s. It’s a celebration of heritage, innovation, and the enduring spirit of the wave. Admission is $10 for adults; kids under 12 and members get in free.
