Running from Saturday 14th April until 24th June, the exhibition will show how boards have changed through the decades, from Archie Tricket’s home made wooden surfboard from the early 1960s, Bilbo longboards, the early shortboards and modern equipment including surfboards from three times Womens English Champion Zoe Sheath and 2010 British Champion Johnny Fryer.

There’ll also be a chance to see how wetsuits have changed from the early ‘duck tail’ two piece wetsuits to the warm winter wetsuits of today. Other items on display will include Trophies, leashes, wax, Isle of Wight Surf Club sweatshirts and magazines.

The exhibition will also have photographs showing many of the characters who have influenced surfing on the Island over the last 50 years.
