Welcome To Surf World Gold Coast
On behalf of the management committee and all our volunteers, Welcome to Surf World - The Museum of Surfing, on Queensland's Gold Coast.
Surf World is a unique museum that showcases Australia’s largest collection of Surfboards and presents permanent exhibitions of photographs, oral histories, surf movies, surf craft and all related memorabilia that explores the culture and character of the Gold Coast and Australia’s surf heritage.
Our Museum Gift Shop stocks the latest surfing books and autobiographies, beach and ocean Photography, as well as local art and surf/beach themed gifts that are available to purchase.
Whether you’re a surfer who wants to see boards from every era, shape and size, or just interested to learn about the legends of the sport, it's professional side and it's cultural history then Surf World Gold Coast is the place to visit.
We look forward to seeing you.
