The “museum for the day” on the pier deck will feature antique surfboards, paddleboards, and lifeguard equipment.

Paddleboard racing was a popular Santa Monica sport in the 1940s with two paddleboard clubs headquartered on the pier.

The event goes from 8:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Santa Monica Pier.
