History The surfing club was founded in 1958 in Cardiff-by-the-Sea, California.

The members of the club was the first to surf "Pipes" and was responsible for it name. When they surfed the location in 1958 they noticed two large pipes protruding from the cliff and named the surfing spot after those two pipes.

Very few surfers surfed "Pipes" in the late 1950's, but it became a popular spot in the 1970's.
