Malibu Shirts - 1961 United States Surfing Association (Not an Iron-on Patch)

This Velcro United States Surfing Associating patch is a beautiful one! The US Surfing Association was formed in 1961 to improve the sports image as well as to govern surf competitions throughout the United States.  USSA members, such as Corky Carroll, Mike Doyle, David Nuuhiwa and Joyce Hoffman, competed in world-class surf contests all across the globe, issued jerseys displaying their call numbers, they were judged on a point system through various heats, with the top point-getter taking home the championship trophy.  Following the 1967 season, the USSA split into four regional groups: the Western Surfing Association, the Eastern Surfing Association, the Hawaiian Surfing Association and the Gulf Coast Surfing association. Winners of the 1967 United States Surfing Championship held in Huntington Beach, CA were Corky Carroll (men's), Joyce Hoffman (woman's) and Dru Harrison (juniors).

Patches are what make a backpack a HEDi-Pack. Whether you’re buying them from us, finding them somewhere else, or making them yourself, the HEDi-Pack was designed to showcase your patches.
