Join us as we host History for Lunch on Wednesday, March 5 at 12 p.m.
Who would have known that the sport of surfing has been taking place in North Carolina for more than 100 years? Join Benjamin Wunderly, education curator at the North Carolina Maritime Museum in Beaufort, for a look at North Carolina surfing as we cover the state’s role in the sport’s history and learn about some of the people and places involved. From records dating back to the early 20th century to becoming one of the top surfing destinations on the East Coast, we will try to leave no board un-waxed!
