Huntington Beach earned the nickname 'Surf City USA' due to its consistent waves and rich surfing culture, making it a global surfing hotspot.
Duke Kahanamoku, the father of modern surfing, was the first to be honored in 1994 for his legendary contributions to the sport.
There are six categories: Surf Pioneer, Surf Champion, Local Hero, Woman of the Year, Surf Culture, and Honor Roll.
The Walk of Fame also honors individuals who have significantly contributed to surf culture, including photographers, filmmakers, and writers.
Each year, new inductees are celebrated with a ceremony during the US Open of Surfing, drawing crowds of surf enthusiasts.
It's situated adjacent to the Huntington Beach Pier, a popular spot for both surfers and spectators.
As of 2023, over 150 individuals have been honored for their contributions to the world of surfing.
Each inductee's name is engraved on a bronze plaque embedded in the sidewalk, creating a lasting tribute to their legacy.
