This prestigious recognition highlights Aguerre’s significant contributions to surfing and his relentless efforts in promoting and advancing the sport globally.
Aguerre developed a deep passion for surfing at an early age in his home country of Argentina. That love of the sport drove him to found both the Argentinian Surfing Association and the Pan American Surfing Association and co-found Reef. It is also what has motivated him across nearly three decades as President of the ISA, where he has been the driving force behind surfing’s inclusion in the Olympic Games.
The Surfers’ Hall of Fame, hosted by Huntington Surf & Sport, is the USA’s original imprint collection of surfing greats. It sits directly across the road from the famed Huntington Beach Pier and features a stunning bronze statue of Duke Kahanamoku, the father of modern surfing and original inspiration for surfing in the Olympic Games.
Aguerre’s imprint joined those of legendary surfers including inaugural Women’s Olympic Surfing Gold Medalist Carissa Moore, Kelly Slater, Stephanie Gilmore, Andy Irons, Joyce Hoffman, Tom Curren, and Sofia Mulanovich, along with surf industry icons such as Quiksilver co-founder Bob McKnight, Surfline founder Sean Collins and Endless Summer filmmaker Bruce Brown.
