The surfing Museum is really very cool. I think the owners name was Jim. Super cool friendly dude, he told us in depth about each thing we asked about. He is very knowledgable and has tons of surf and Hawaiiana collectibles. It's true, the museum is only open on Sunday from 12-5 and it can be hard to find. Many of the locals I asked had never heard of the street called Helena. The street is short and it dead ends. It is between State St. and Anacapa. If you are in a car, you can only get to it from Shoreline Drive. The museum is behind the Rusty's pizza light house near the beach and Stearns wharf.

Some pics:
