The North Carolina Surfing Hall of Fame pays tribute to those individuals who have contributed an indelible mark on the sport and culture of surfing. Competitive amateur and professional super stars, who successfully ride some of the biggest waves on the planet and have served up some of the best performances to date.

We also recognize surf shops, surfboard builders and shapers who built a reputation by providing knowledge, experience, and the warmest customer service, to become indispensable to the sport of surfing.

We celebrate all 2021 inductees and recognize the benefits that an active surfing culture brings to the North Carolina state economy and tourism industry. Embracing and sharing legends from several eras.
