On May 11, 2013 The Surfing Heritage And Culture Center in San Clemente, California is hosting an auction of vintage surfboards and memorabilia at the OC Fair & Events Center, including what may be the first book on surfing ever published, The Surf Riders of Hawaii, which organizers say could sell for more than $25,000.
In addition there are 200 silent auction lots available, plus live music by Tower7, Mattson2, Ray Barbee, and Tom Curren. Keith Malloy will be showing his body surfing epic “Come Hell Or High Water”. Also on tap are Antique Roadshow style surfboard & surf collectable appraisals, book signings, raffles, classic cars, food, libations, and the Calfornia Gold Art Wall with representation from over 75 artists.
Readers over 40 who think dressing up means wearing a Hawaiian print shirt and their “good slippas” will be right at home on Saturday, May 11, 2013. For the official word on the auction and the day’s events, follow the jump.
