On Friday 6th April, the Museum of British Surfing will open in Braunton, Devon. And to mark this auspicious occasion, the Museum has released the earliest photo of a Briton standing on a surfboard - the future King Edward VIII while on holiday in Hawaii in 1920. Whatever your views of the monarchy in general and Edward VIII in particular, this is an important development in the history of UK surfing. Crowns off to the Museum.
