Such a worthwhile museum to visit.  We visited during the China Beach exhibit. My grandpa was a Vietnam veteran and passed on his love of the ocean to me.  Going here was like being reintroduced to one of my greatest heros all over again. Thank you for putting together such a thoughtful unique experience.  
This is why we surf.

Cool little museum that traces the history of surfing. There are many styles of boards there. Presently the museum has a display of items and stories about surfing in Vietnam during that ill fated war. Price $3-5 depending on age
