The Florida Surf Museum is proud to present “Hobgood-The Exhibit” which chronicles the careers of twin brothers CJ and Damien Hobgood. They are the latest in a long line of champion surfers that have come from the Space Coast of Florida. The brothers grew up in Satellite Beach and quickly advanced in the highly competitive local contest scene. Their competitive drive propelled them to the World Championship Tour circuit, where they excelled for more than 20 years. The exhibit showcases the Hobgoods’ career with displays of their trophies, contest winning surfboards and personal memorabilia.
