Santa Barbara Surfing Museum

You might need to turn up the volume here. After 25 years Jim O’Mahoney‘s Santa Barbara Surfing Museum is closing.

A sad day in Santa Barbara for one of the finest collections of Surfing and Skateboarding memorabilia in the world.

Back in the day, Jim was a true legend in Surfing and Skateboarding. Too many stories to share here in this post. Also, a reflection on all the changes taking place in Santa Barbara’s “Funk Zone.”
