Get ready for the California Surf Museums 18th Annual Fundraising Gala on Sunday, November 22nd, 2026, from 3:00 PM to 8:00 PM at the stunning Seabird Ocean Resort and Spa.
As part of this vibrant event, we're thrilled to host a LIVE Online Auction!
Explore our exciting collection of surfboards, artwork, collectibles, travel, dining, adventures, and memorable experiences. Place your bids, follow your favorite items, and return often as the competition builds.
Every bid helps the California Surf Museum preserve the stories, artifacts, and achievements that have shaped surfing.
The pioneers of Cortes Bank went beyond the known horizon to discover what was possible. For 40 years, the California Surf Museum has carried that same spirit forward.
Since 1986, the Museum has collected and protected the surfboards, photographs, films, artwork, innovations, and personal stories that define surfing’s extraordinary history and culture.
Through exhibitions, educational programs, archives, and community events, the Museum connects surfing’s past with the generations shaping its future.
The Silver Surfer Gala is the Museum’s signature annual fundraiser. Tickets, tables, sponsorships, auction bids, and Raise the Paddle gifts provide essential support for its collections, exhibitions, educational programs, and continued growth.
