HERITAGE, CRAFT & EVOLUTION: Surfboard Design 1885 – 1959 An Exciting Exhibit of Surfboards, Paintings and Historic Photographs
Opening to the public at the Santa Barbara Maritime Museum on June 24, 2021, the exhibit traces the history of surfing and the evolution of surfboard design, illustrated by replica boards with oil painting vignettes of the locations, plus text and historic photographs. The book and the exhibit are the result of a unique collaboration between three important figures in the California surfing community: Renny Yater, one of the first commercial surfboard shapers of the 1950s; John Comer, plein-air painter; and painter and surfboard shaper, Kevin Ancell. Altogether, the exhibit presents a multimedia story of surfing, surfboard development, and the California surfing scene.
