California Surf Museum Unveils New Vietnam Exhibit

OCEANSIDE'S California Surf Museum recently debuted its newest exhibit: “China Beach: Surfing During the Vietnam War and the Healing Power of Wave-riding.” The exhibit highlights the surfing experience during the conflict in Vietnam (such as at the famous China Beach), the perspective of surfers back home, and the veterans returning to the surf after their tour of duty. 

Along with honoring surfers who fought in Vietnam, the exhibit explores the many interesting topics related to surfing during the Vietnam War: how surfers got their boards to Vietnam, how Hollywood films depicted surfing during the conflict, and the waves of Vietnam themselves. The exhibit feature re-creations of the famous surf icons, including a life-size replica of the China Beach Surf Club building, a lifeguard tower, surfboards used during the era and a huge map of the surf spots. 

The exhibit is scheduled to run until February 2018.
