Surfing is a large part of Hermosa’s Heritage. In order to honor our strong surfing history, we annually recognize local legends who have a connection to South Bay surfing with the Surfers Walk of Fame. Each year the Surfers Walk of Fame Weekend is held, complete with an Induction Ceremony, to celebrate the newly chosen inductees.
