Ann
Beasley 1998
A Founding Director of the International
Surfing Museum
Ann Beasley can't surf a lick. In fact,
she's never tried. But as the first elected official and
World Ambassador of the International Surfing Museum in
Huntington Beach, Ann has a vast knowledge and appreciation
for the sport. of Surfing, it’s culture, and it’s
history. “I know more surfing stories than most
surfers," Ann says, " and mine are clean, educational
and historical. Ann familiarized herself with surfing
after moving to Huntington Beach from West Virginia in
the mid -'80's. Her entire life she has contributed to
the community as a volunteer,
when Ann moved to Huntington Beach she immediately found
a new cause to support. One day browsing through the Independent,
a local Huntington newspaper, she read a story about a
lady name Natalie A. Kotsch who was trying to rally support
for the construction of a surfing museum on the beach
beside the HB Pier. The next thing she knew she had become
the first elected official of the International Surfing
Museum and joined Natalie in her quest to see a surfing
museum established in Huntington Beach. The two ladies
both put in a few years of dedication and hard work and
have become the driving forces behind the extremely successful
International Surfing Museum in which they helped open
in 1990. |
