Legendary Hawaiian surfers recognized by Oceanside museum
Four men who were selected by the father of modern surfing to “spread Aloha” around the world will be recognized for their contribution to the sport by the California Surf Museum.
The Oceanside-based museum has presented its Silver Surfer Award to ground-breaking surfers each year since 2009, and this year’s recognition will go to Joey Cabell, Fred Hemmings, Paul Strauch Jr. and the late Butch Van Artsdalen.
The four men were hand-selected to be on the first surfing team created in 1965 by Duke Kahanamoku, generally considered the father of modern surfing.
