Surfers' Hall of Fame
is a popular location for taking souvenir
photographs.
It is located at 300
Pacific Coast Highway, Huntington Beach, CA 92648 |
The Surfers' Hall of Fame in
Huntington Beach, California is similar to Grauman's Chinese
Theatre in Hollywood. It includes handprints, footprints and
signatures of recognized surfers who are chosen for their
contributions or feats in the sport of surfing. They are
invited to a ceremony in their honor and are asked to lend
their hands, feet and signatures to special cement forms in
front of Huntington Surf and Sport. Their stone tributes
surround a centerpiece, life size bronze statue of Duke
Kahanamoku, the father of US surfing. This statue was
commissioned and created by Edmond Shumpert in 2001.
Shumpert is also known locally for two other statues he
created in the Public Art Program in Huntington Beach. They
include the Ultimate Challenge on Pacific Coast Highway at
Huntington Street in front of Huntington City Beach entrance
and a bust of Duke Kahanamoku that sat at the base of the
Huntington Beach Pier. It was removed from that location and
now included as a mainstay near the entryway at the
International Surfing Museum in Huntington Beach. Also
see the Duke Kahanamoku Stamp
and
Ultimate Challenge by Edmond Shumpert.
