The Mount Surf Museum
This is New Zealand's largest Surf Museum with 700 surfboards on display.
The lineup of longboards and shortboards shows the evolution of New Zealand surfing from the early wooden-board days, through the psychedelic 1960s and 1970s. There are handcrafted masterpieces from Kiwi pioneers, rare collectables, including kneeboards and paddleboards, and surfing memorabilia from America.
This unique and colourful museum is full of surfin' stuff, from posters, to skateboards, books, accessories, souvenirs, surf art and collectables. There's something to interest all surfing enthusiasts.
