Exhibit Information

Fifty years ago, the modern era of surfing began in Southeastern North Carolina. Since that time, surfing has evolved from the peripheries of beach culture into a complex sport and lifestyle, enticing a growing number of individuals each year to pick up a board and hit the waves. Increasingly, throughout this time, UNCW has also been a destination for students seeking to further their education while having access to a quality surfing environment. This exhibit highlights the golden anniversary of surfing in the region through the photography and experiences of UNCW students and alumni.

Exhibit on display mid September through mid December 2014 in Randall Library's Sherman Hayes Gallery on the 1st floor.
