Congratulations to these outstanding individuals who have helped shape Hermosa Beach’s surf legacy.

Why it Matters
Surfing is deeply woven into the heritage of Hermosa Beach. The Surfers Walk of Fame honors individuals who have contributed to the spirit and culture of the sport—locally and beyond. Events like this remind us of the rich traditions rooted right here in the South Bay.

Save the Date: The celebration continues all weekend long, April 25–27, 2025, with more opportunities to honor the legends and connect with the surf community.

This is why we Love South Bay Local—celebrating the people, stories, and waves that make Hermosa Beach iconic.
