Grand Opening- Sebastian Inlet/ The Accidental Wave
2018-10-20 19:00 - 21:00 (America/New_York)
Join us for the grand opening of our latest exhibit. Learn the in-depth history of Sebastian Inlet from the first attempts to open an inlet 100 years ago to its evolution as a fishing mecca, the discovery of the wave by surfing pioneers Dick Catri and Jack Murphey and the conflicts between surfers and fishermen over access to the inlet. A combination of videos, slideshows and memorabilia document the historic contests and the cast of characters who made the inlet the most important wave on the east coast.
