Who We Are.
new jersey surfing hall of fame
Since 2015 we have been inducting surfers, photographers, artists, and others who have had an immeasurable impact on our surfing community into the New Jersey Surfing Hall of Fame.
We continue this tradition through a biennial event celebrating men and woman who have had significant achievements with top names in the industry in attendance.
