The
"Toys in Surfland" is an exhibit with rare and unusual
memorabilia from the huge collection of Dave Reynolds and a
few collectibles from HBISM board member Kotch Keiser.

Dave
love for surfing and surf related toys began over 25 years
ago. The massive of nearly 100 collectibles is breathtaking
and gives a museum looker an unforgettable experience. |

There
are figurines and action figures, clocks, woodies, cars,
jigsaw puzzles and many other unique toys. Most of Dave's
collection has been purchased through stores, antique
shops and online. Did you know Barbie surfs? |

What's
amazing about this collection is how it illustrates the
broad scope of toys related to surfing. Yes, even a "Cow-A-Bunga"
toy! Just for you Corky. |

The
collection goes back to the 1960s and earlier, giving
some museum goers a time capsule view of passed memories.
Yet this collection is very impressive for younger surfers
how surfing culture has played a big part in the toy
industry. |

Some
will take notice of figurines such as Bob's Big Boy restaurant
mascot, Bob, and Felix the Cat, while the younger crowd
will recognize other characters that they grew up with. |
