    I love Pac Sun! All the best gear and they cater to "real" surfers! And some times they even play some sick surfing videos in the store!

    When I was in college, always went to sweetwater in wrightsville. These days I give wrv pretty much all my business. I know a couple of the guys there and they tend to give me a decent discount on everything I buy. I will say coastal edge took care of me with a board issue I had a year or so ago, so if i buy another board from a shop in the near future, I will def go there.

    Yeah the dudes that work at wave hog are solid! So I guess no one remembers the skate/surf shop that was on the blvd from the 90s till 2000ish! They had some ramps and stuff out back and would hold demos! Ahhh the good old days of LBI!

    Mustache in Island Park, NY near Long Beach.

    Went out of business sometime in 80s. Boards and bongs. It's where Jeff Spicoli would have shopped.

    If you wanted a sick airbrushed Lance Wave Tools or **** Brewer that was the spot.

    dude greenlight surfshop is really the ONLY surf shop.

    Your not going to find the coolest and newest fashion trend.

    Your not going to find those pair of 100 flip flops that you cant wait to waste money on.

    BUT what you will find is all the stuff you need for actually surfing. related to surf boards that is.


    Everything else, I recommend that place in Belmar that ihatelongboards says he works at. Next to djais and DD. called eastern lines. I only recommend it cause its in Belmar btw.

    The original Inlet Outlet on Rt 71 in Manasquan circa 1970s was the ****z.
    Not the clothing store it turned into when it moved to Main St.
    Used to be about boards, surf and skate. Now it's just a joke.
