We invite you to join us at the Julian branch library on Saturday, July 7 at 2 PM for a presentation by Jim Kempton, California Surf Museum president, who curated the recent China Beach exhibit. The California Surf Museum serves as an international repository and resource center on the lifestyle sport of surfing through capturing, preserving, and chronicling its art, culture, and heritage for the education and enjoyment of future generations. An exhibit commemorating Vietnam's China Beach Surf Club opened on Memorial Day weekend at the California Surf Museum in Oceanside. China Beach is where U.S. troops found a way to continue their love of surfing during the depths of the Vietnam War. It took two years to collect the artifacts, build the set and compile the narratives for this very California story set in Vietnam. "The purpose of this exhibit is to portray the little-known but fascinating story of surfing in the combat zones of Vietnam," says California Surf Museum President and exhibit curator Jim Kempton. "It explores the unique surfing experience of the era, what it meant to those veterans, and how they were able to use surfing as a healing mechanism both during the war and after they returned." Jim Kempton was editor of Surfer Magazine in 1978 through 1983, during the magazine’s most impactful period. Since then, he’s worked at TransWorld Publishing as a publisher and editor, Quiksilver Crossing as the director, and Billabong, surfing’s top lifestyle brand, as the media director. Currently, he writes an
editorial column which is carried by three regional newspapers, and he is a contributing writer for national and international surfing publications. This exhibit has met an overwhelming response and the show is being held over. The May 2018 edition of American Way, (the American Airlines Magazine), contained a ten-page spread about the China Beach exhibit in Oceanside. Local Julian resident, Howard Fisher, was one of the persons highlighted in that article. There was also an excellent write up on the Lonely Planet website (5.31.18) recommending this exhibit as a “don’t miss!” If you wish to see the exhibit, it is suggested that you visit soon. Many of the veterans who helped compile the surf exhibit did not realize there were other troops surfing along the coast of Vietnam. Many of them did not know there was surfing at China Beach — probably the most famous place for surfing in Vietnam — where wounded troops were sent to recover and others for brief recreation.
Many of the soldiers continued to surf after they came home, using it as a kind of therapy. After serving in Vietnam, 71-year-old veteran Rick Thomas went on to become one of the founding fathers of paddle boarding. He also became a Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder counselor, and believes surfing can help treat trauma. The exhibit is part of the official celebration of the 50th anniversary of the Vietnam War. Veterans who attend the exhibit will receive a pin from the Department of Defense. The California Surf Museum is located at 312 Pier View Way, Oceanside. www.surfmuseum. org We look forward to hosting you for this special presentation about the California Surf Museum and the China Beach exhibit on Saturday, July 7 at 2 PM. The Friends of the Library are putting together some special themed refreshments. The Julian Branch library is located at 1850 Highway 78, Julian. For more information, please call the branch at 760765-0370.
