The North Carolina Surfing Hall of Fame (NCSHOF) exists at the intersection of Surfing Past, Present and Future. As North Carolina’s coastal university, it is no surprise UNC Wilmington ranks among the nation’s best colleges for surfers. The North Carolina Surfing Hall of Fame has partnered with the UNCW Center for Innovation & Entrepreneurship. To promote North Carolina's beautiful beaches and the best place to learn how to surf.
The UNCW Department of History teaches a course about the history of surfing, tracing the cultural, technological and economic aspects of its transformation from a Polynesian folkway to a global multi-billion dollar economic force.
