(LIP-ir) -- The Surfers' Hall of Fame celebrated its 10th Anniversary this year with the inductions of Sofia Mulanovich, Al Merrick, Bruce Irons and Martin Potter.

Huntington Surf and Sport store owner Aaron Pai, has stated that the inductees have been chosen because they have had a major impact on the sport and the world of surf, having revolutionized the sport and influenced millions of surfers across the globe.

The ceremony was held today at 10 a.m. at Huntington Beach, California.

Sofia Mulanovich is the first South American surfer to have been granted this tremendous honor. "I'm happy, it's incredible, all of my heroes are here. It feels terrific, the best surfers in the world, all the legends, I'm the first South American and it's an honor to be there," stated Mulanovich from Huntington Beach, California.

Sofia Mulanovich was born on June 24, 1983 in Punta Hermosa, Lima, Peru. In 2004, she was the first Peruvian surfer ever to win an Association of Surfing Professionals (ASP) World Championship Tour (WCT). She became the first South American (man or woman) to ever win the World Title.
