Scott Dillon (born 19 August 1928) owns the "Legends of Surf" museum near Coffs Harbour, NSW, Australia.

Amoung the early manufacturers Scott Dillon was considered the master in big wave guns (closely followed by Les Patterson at Dale Surfboards - Bob McTavish/Pods for Primates Part 1). Consistent high standards of manufacture are evident in boards from all eras and the Scott Dillon Surfboard Collection has many fine examples of professional restoration.
