Surfing Florida: A Photographic History and Surf Science: Waves and Wildlife
This paired exhibit was on display August 31, 2013, through January 20, 2014
Surf’s up! The Florida Museum celebrated the state’s famous coastal waters with the exhibit Surfing Florida. This exhibit featured photographs and interpretive graphics on the state’s surfing history. The Florida Museum extended the story with surfboard collections, stories from the University of Florida Surf Team and a display showing how surfboards are made.
There’s much more to surfing than surfers! Visitors explored the science of waves and animals of the surf and beach. Surf Science mixed Florida Museum and UF research with specimens and interactive experiences. Guests learned about the Florida Museum’s famed International Shark Attack File and shark research programs, discovered animals that surf, examined different types of Florida sand and viewed specimens from the Museum’s fish, mammal and marine invertebrate collections.
Surfing Florida: A Photographic History was organized by the University Galleries, Florida Atlantic University, Boca Raton, with support from the Florida Humanities Council and the National Endowment for the Humanities. Additional support was provided by Surfing’s Evolution & Preservation Foundation and YP.com.
