The annual Surfers Walk of Fame induction ceremony will take place in Hermosa Beach this weekend, celebrating not only legends in the water, but also those who have made an impact on local surf culture.

The Surfers Walk of Fame weekend will run from Friday to Sunday with the induction ceremony taking place at 11 a.m. Saturday, followed by the Spyder Surf Fest on the Pier Plaza.

This year’s inductees include surfers Laurie Wilson (“Female Legend/Champion”) and Lonnie Argabright (“South Bay Legend”), shapers Tyler Hatzikian (“South Bay Legend”) and Pat Rawson (“Cultural Legend”) and artist John Van Hamersveld (“Cultural Legend”).

Spyder Surfboards will also be honored after the induction ceremony with a Legacy award for hosting Spyder Surf Fest for 18 years, among other events in the city, as well as being in business for 43 years, including operating two retail stores in Hermosa Beach, according to founder Dennis Jarvis.

Van Hamersveld may be the most famous inductee among the general, nonsurfing population because he created the iconic poster for the classic surf film “The Endless Summer,” as well as numerous murals around the South Bay, and hundreds of other concert posters and album covers.

Van Hamersveld grew up on the Palos Verdes Peninsula and surfed around the South Bay and beyond.

“We would always go to 22nd Street in Hermosa. That was like the scene,” Van Hamersveld said in a phone interview this week. “And being that I went to El Segundo High School, I’d have to drive up and back. I’d always go through Hermosa and see everybody at the Foster’s Freeze at 14th Street.”

Van Hamersveld’s murals include “Hermosa’s Great Wave,” which he painted in 2015 as part of the Hermosa Beach Murals Project. Former Mayor Chuck Sheldon created that project in 2009, with a goal to complete 10 murals in a decade. Van Hamersveld’s mural is at the corner of 14th Street and Hermosa Avenue.

Van Hamersveld grew up with Becker Surfboards founder Phil Becker and was introduced to surfing at the Palos Verdes Cove when he was around 11 or 12 years old, he said. He got his first surfboard, shaped by Hap Jacobs, after starting high school.

It was an “amazing time” to grow up surfing, Van Hamersveld said.

“There were groups at that time in the early ’50s, there were just about maybe 20 kids at each break,” Van Hamersveld said. “So it was like the building of a new generation of surfers and surfboards.”

Van Hamersveld will also take part in the Hermosa Beach Museum’s “After Hours” question-and-answer session from 6 to 8 p.m. Thursday. An 11-minute documentary about Van Hamersveld’s life will be screened at the museum.

Rawson said, meanwhile, expressed gratitude for his induction in an Instagram post.

“Truly,” he wrote, “this recognition is an honor that I am passionate about receiving.

“I am originally from Playa del Rey, which is north of Hermosa Beach, where early on I was taught many valuable lessons of building quality surfboards from mentors such as Phil Becker, Tom Overlin and several other craftsmen,” Rawson added. “Back in my high school days, I also did gloss and pinline work at Rick Surfboards. Such a valuable time for me to think back on.”

The Surfers Walk of Fame weekend will begin with a kickoff event and the South Bay Surf Awards from 5:30 to 9:30 p.m. Friday at the Hermosa Beach Community Center, 710 Pier Ave.

The event will feature a chance to meet the inductees, the screening of a surf film at the Community Theatre, the South Bay Surf Awards presented by the South Bay Boardriders Club and a special Surfers Walk of Fame exhibit at the Hermosa Beach Museum.

The Surfers Walk of Fame induction ceremony begins at 11 a.m. on the Pier Plaza on Saturday.

Following the induction ceremony at Pier Plaza on Saturday morning, Spyder Surfboards will host the 18th annual Spyder Surf Fest, which will feature a book signing by world champion Shaun Tomson from noon to 2 p.m., as well as “free stuff” and family friendly events. The Surf Fest will run until 7 p.m.

The festival will feature live performances from Day at the Beach, 12:30 to 1:15 p.m.; Hobo Bridge, 1:30 to 2:30 p.m.; Red Hot Chili Tribute, 2:45 to 4 p.m.; Night of the Hunter, 4:15 to 5:15 p.m.; and DJ by Astrix, 5:30 to 6:15 p.m.

The festivities will continue from 6:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Sunday with the South Bay Surf Series, hosted by the South Bay Boardriders Club.

All ages can participate in the surfing competition, which will include various divisions.

The future of the Surfers Walk of Fame plaques, meanwhile, is still in limbo, according to city officials.

In March, the City Council began discussing what could become of the plaques as officials look at the future of the aging Hermosa Beach Pier.

The plaques were first installed in 2003. Sixty bronze plaques have been installed, but six are missing and have been replaced with concrete.

The issue will be looked at in the future by the Parks and Recreation Advisory Commission for more input.
