Surf World Gold Coast

Surf World Gold Coast is a dedicated surfing museum located at Currumbin on the Gold Coast, Queensland. Situated at 36 Tomewin Street, it houses Australia's largest collection of surfboards and surfing memorabilia. The museum documents the history and evolution of surfing on the Gold Coast and nationally, displaying historic boards, photographs and artefacts that highlight the region's significance as a centre of Australian surf culture.

Visitors can expect an indoor museum experience spread across exhibition spaces displaying historic surfboards from the early 1900s to modern designs, photographs, trophies, wetsuits and memorabilia. The setting is a low-rise museum building near Currumbin Creek with curated displays, interpretive panels and video presentations. Guests can explore chronological exhibits, view rare boards shaped by notable Australian shapers, and browse a gift shop.

Opened in June 2009, Surf World Gold Coast was established to preserve and showcase the history of surfing on the Gold Coast, recognised as a major centre of Australian surfing since the 1950s. The museum conserves boards and artefacts from early surf pioneers and documents the development of board design and surf manufacturing in Queensland.

The museum celebrates Australian surf culture and the Gold Coast's identity as a surfing capital, highlighting the social and sporting importance of surfing to the local community and its contribution to national coastal culture through displays of craftsmanship, competition history and lifestyle.
