Collection overview (Collection development policy)
The museum’s collection focuses on British surfing history from the 1700s to the present day. In the main is contains items produced in Britain, although it includes artefacts produced elsewhere in the world if they have a provenance to UK surfing.
Peter Robinson, who established the museum and charity, donated approximately 80% of the total current collection as a founding gift. Around 10% of the collection has come from public donations, and the remainder are items either purchased by the museum or on loan.
