FLORIDA WOMEN OF THE WAVES
With 800+ hours of research and preparation this exhibit is one of (if not the)
largest assemblage of female surfing history ever.
It features photographs, biographies, and memorabilia from over 125 Florida Female Surfers
from both coasts, spanning the early days of the 60's, through the 70's, 80's, 90s' and 2000's.
It includes legends, icons, history makers, former and current red-hot competitors, next generation rippers,
and even a few of the youngest most stoked menehune wahines in the sport.
The sheer number of Ladies that responded and the richness of the materials they submitted for this exhibit leave no doubt that
Florida Women have not only made a major impact on Surfing's heritage, but through their courage, perseverance, and compassion
their positive influence extends well beyond surfing and deeply into our communities.
In addition to the Museum exhibit which will remain on display through the fall of 2010,
opening festivities included a Friday night Surf Movie, the Saturday morning Ladies Surfing Social,
and an impromtu ladies Sunday surf as part of our celebration of FLORIDA WOMEN OF THE WAVES.
