While the idea of attending a surf museum event conjures nightmares of pear-shaped old men in double XL Reyn Spooners blasting stories of yesteryear across the room on invisible waves of Black Label breath, there is something special about surfing’s past and occasionally it’s worth diving in.
Few museums bring surfing’s past to life better than Oceanside’s California Surf Museum. Today they are kicking off their Califorinia Surf Festival (October 6-10, 2010) with the film Accidental Icon: The Real Gidget Story and an appearance by the original Gidget herself, Kathy Kohner Zuckerman. Show starts at the Brooks Theater at 7 PM (217 N. Coast Highway, Oceanside, CA), but there is a special VIP reception at 6 PM.
But that’s not all. On Thursday October 7, 2010 Donavon Frankereiter will play a show, too. Click the link for more info.
