The Museum of British Surfing is to launch its new exhibition and event venue in Braunton, Devon, tomorrow (6 April) to explore the UK's surfing heritage and current achievements.

Bideford-based Myriad has worked on the design and build of the attraction, which is based at The Yard - a former railway building on which the museum has secured a 74-year lease.

Among the items to be displayed in the new Museum of British Surfing will be an extensive collection of vintage surfboards, literature and public memorabilia.

The collection also includes pictures of Edward Windsor, the then-Prince of Wales, surfing in Hawaii, US, in 1920 - one of the earliest images of a Briton stand-up surfing.

A spokesperson for the museum said: "We now have more than 200 boards dating back a century, and hundreds of associated items of surfing memorabilia."
