An exhibit launching in Huntington Beach will explore the early-day connection between surf and skate culture.
The International Surfing Museum’s new “SURF2SKATE” exhibit launches March 3, and will examine how surfing influenced modern-day skateboarding.
Both sports for the first time will be included in the 2020 Olympic games.

The opening night will have an “On the Red Couch” talk with Allen Sarlo and Jeff Ho, surfers who had an influence on the skate scene in the 70s, especially with their roles on the Z-boys surf and skateboard team in the Venice and Santa Monica area.
Other influential skaters such as Tosh Townend, Herbie Fletcher, Randy Lewis and Jeff Alter are expected to be at the event.
Much of the exhibit was brought to Huntington Beach by the Surfing Heritage and Cultural Center in San Clemente, which had a similar installment a few months ago.
Tickets are $20 for adults, $10 for students 16 and under and kids are free. More info: surfingmuseum.org
