"Surfing is a Natural Art- An Interview with Pete and Debbie Dooley"
 
May30th at 7pm (Doors at 6pm)

Join the Florida Surf Museum for the premier of “Surfing is a Natural Art- ”. In this video, Pete and Debbie recount their decades spent in the surf industry.

Beginning as teenagers, they moved from the gulf coast to Cocoa Beach, making boards in a Visqueen plastic-covered shed. They built their business to become one the most of influential and successful manufacturers on the east coast -until the 9/11 tragedy forced them to close their doors.

Pete has been inducted into the East Coast Surfing Hall of Fame as well as the Surfboard Builders Hall of Fame.

There will be a silent auction for a “new” Natural Art twin fin fish made from a blank from this year’s “Surf Expo Shape-off, in Honor of Pete Dooley”, donated by Ricky Carrol. All proceeds from the auction will be donated to Pete and Debbie Dooley.

There will also be a book signing with local author, Dan Reiter for his new book "On a Rising Swell- Surf Stories From Florida's Space Coast"- A high-speed glide through Florida surf culture and a deep dive into the lore of a classic surfing destination.

Not far from where the Apollo 11 rocket launched to the moon, surfers make their way to the shore in the night. Clutching their surfboards, they chase a familiar dream: more speed, more altitude, and going beyond the limits of what has been done before. For that, they want to be the first ones to catch the early morning waves.

In this book, Dan Reiter chronicles stories of the sport on Florida's Space Coast, a region that has produced some of the world's finest surf champions, Pipe masters, and surfboard builders. On this stretch of sand between Cape Canaveral and Sebastian Inlet, Florida's surf history reaches back to the native Ais people of the Atlantic Coast and continues to the elites of today, including Kelly Slater, Caroline Marks, and CJ Hobgood. Reiter offers insights into the evolution of surfboard shaping and design, the distinctive culture of the East Coast surfboard industry, and the traits and traditions that make Florida surfing unique.

The Maltese Falcon and every other Film Noir you’ve ever known FRACTURED

Written & Directed by Bryan Bergeron

June 13-29, 2025

A Bryan Bergeron Original Production - taking all the stylized Hollywood crime dramas of the 40s & 50s, particularly those featuring the classic jaded detective, and giving them a twist. There may be a commercial for a product used in the show, there may be a song, there may be characters from other shows that wander in and get caught up in the story line... we won't know until the curtains open on this one-of-a-kind production!

The Fractured shows are truly a community show in which we encourage locals who have ever wanted to be on stage to come out, audition, and become part of our Surfside performing family. You'll see novices right alongside those with years of experience performing.
