Adopt an Object!

Surfing Heritage and Culture Center’s Adopt an Object program provides an exciting and unique way to support SHACC!

Your gift allows us to care for the collection and helps ensure that these important objects can be viewed by the public and preserved for future generations.

Your tax-deductible adoption donation will help care for the world’s most significant surf collection!

To begin your adoption, please browse the objects below and click the image of the item for more information.

If you’d like to adopt the item click Adopt Object below the item which will take you to our online store. Make sure to include either you email address or phone number when completing your order so that a staff member can reach out to you regarding your adoption.

Adoptions are valid for one year.

As a special thank you for your support, adopters will receive:

  • a photograph of the object
  • a certificate with the history of the object
  • credit on SHACC’s website, social media, and eMuseum
  • a label next to the object with the adopter’s name(s)
  • a custom sticker
  • a signed thank you from the staff and Board of Directors.

Those adopting an item in the $2000 category will also receive a special gift created by Malcolm Wilson.
