Surfers' Hall of Fame
28 years of dedication, stoke & aloha to the sport of surfing — where legends are immortalized in cement at PCH & Main.
The nation's first imprint collection of legendary surfers
The nation's first imprint collection of legendary surfers, the Surfers' Hall of Fame celebrated its inaugural induction in 1997. Four years later, with the blessing of the City Council and a stunning bronze statue of Duke Kahanamoku serving as a backdrop, the ceremony found its permanent home at the corner of PCH and Main — less than 100 feet from the famed Huntington Beach Pier, site of the U.S. Open of Surfing. Each year since, new honorees have been immortalized in cement, where tens of thousands of visitors walk in the footsteps of surfing's greatest legends.
Welcoming the 2026 Inductees
The Surfers' Hall of Fame proudly welcomes its newest inductees: Courtney Conlogue and Jay Larson — two individuals whose impact on surfing runs deep both locally and globally.
This summer, they will be honored in a special ceremony across from the iconic Huntington Beach Pier, where they will leave their handprints, footprints, and signatures — joining the legacy of surfing's greats.
Courtney Conlogue's career is defined by excellence and longevity. A Santa Ana native raised near Huntington Beach, she began surfing at age four and competing by nine. Her early dominance led to a place on the USA Junior Surf Team at just eleven. She went on to win multiple NSSA titles and, in 2009, claimed both individual and team gold at the ISA World Surfing Games. That same year, she captured her first US Open of Surfing title.
Over more than a decade on the World Championship Tour, Conlogue earned 13 victories and finished World No. 2 in 2015 and 2016. In 2018, she returned to Huntington Beach to win the US Open once again — nine years after her first triumph. Her achievements continued with a team victory at the Molokai to Oahu Paddleboard World Championships in 2023. Inducted into the Surfing Walk of Fame in 2019, she remains a respected competitor, a member of the Huntington Beach Marine Safety Lifeguard team, and a beloved figure in our local community.
Jay Larson embodies the spirit of Huntington Beach surfing. He began surfing at age ten and quickly rose through amateur competition, later serving as Surf Team Captain at Huntington Beach High School in 1993. His powerful style earned him national recognition, including the cover of Surfing Magazine and appearances in influential surf films alongside filmmaker Taylor Steele, contributing to the iconic Momentum Generation.
Turning professional in 1993, Larson competed worldwide through 2002, earning multiple finals appearances in places like Jeffreys Bay and Santa Cruz, along with two professional wins. Deeply rooted in the surf industry from a young age at Huntington Surf & Sport, he has built a lifelong career around the sport of surfing.
In 2019, he co-founded the L8nightwithChoccy podcast, now a long-running platform for conversations with surfers, creatives, and industry leaders. Today, he continues to surf and remains a familiar presence in the lineup and around town with his family.
Together, Conlogue and Larson represent the heart, talent, and enduring culture of Huntington Beach surfing. We are excited to welcome these surfing legends into the Surfers' Hall of Fame!
