History of Surfing in Oceanside

History of Surfing in Oceanside

Join Milford Wayne Donaldson for a presentation on the history of San Onofre, the birthplace of California surf culture. San Onofre and the history of surfing provides a look into a not-so-far-distant past, including its influence on Camp Pendleton, and helps present-day citizens understand how what may have seemed like a “craze” was really a firmly planted lifestyle, which would span the globe with its influence.

Donaldson was appointed by former President Barack Obama as Chair of the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation in 2010. He was the California State Historic Preservation Officer from 2004-2012. Wayne “Budge” Donaldson grew up in Oceanside and surfed San Onofre starting in the 1950s.
