Museum of British Surfing

The Museum of British Surfing has what’s believed to be the largest & most comprehensive public collection in Europe. Our policy with vintage surfboards is to collect at least one example of each British shaper. We also take in foreign-made surfboards if they have an important connection with British surfing.

We chronicle and celebrate British surf history - from the time Captain Cook first encountered surfers right up to the present day.

Alongside the temporary exhibitions are sections on British surfing history, North Devon surfing and our special local environment.
