HUNTINGTON BEACH, Calif.—City officials and residents celebrated the newest inductees to the city’s Surfer’s Hall of Fame Aug. 4 amid the backdrop of the U.S. Open of Surfing which continued until Aug. 6.
Styled after Hollywood’s Grauman’s Chinese Theatre, which introduced the tradition of having stars place their hands and feet into the concrete of Hollywood sidewalks, Huntington Beach Surf and Sport owner Aaron Pai in 1997 took the idea further and consecrated it for the world of surfing.
