SURFING… The sport of Hawaiian Kings has become a part of today’s pop
culture. From its humble beginnings on the islands of Hawaii to the silver screen
and television, surfing is definitely here to stay.
Sagemore Surf Gallery and Surfing Artists International presents it’s 8th annual“Art of Surfing Festival”, which has quickly become the premiere east coast
surfing event of the summer. The festival is an expression of the local surfing
culture and it’s influences from Hawaii and California. This show is for anyone
that is drawn to the ocean and enjoys the beach culture lifestyle.
The Music Pier is located on the Ocean City boardwalk at Moorlyn Terrace &
extends out over the beach & ocean. Every August over 6,000 families converge
on the Music Pier to take part in what has become the largest event of its kind on
the East Coast.
This year will also feature a children’s activity tent sponsored by Gillian’s
Wonderland Pier & a visit from Malibu’s original Gidget. Gidget will be available
for a book signing and autograph sessions throughout the event.
The 3 day event (July 31st – August 2nd) will feature a surf art exhibit, live music,
surf movies, painting demonstrations, surf memorabilia and much more. Artists
will be on hand throughout the show to meet the public and answer questions.
Many of SAI’s internationally acclaimed artists will be on hand to meet the public
for signings & demonstrations of their unique talents. Artists attending the show
include BOGY, Phil DeAngelo, Kim Weiland, Jon Baker, Jamie Kelly, Wade
