Anyone been to a surf shop lately that just surprised em? Real surf shops are a bit of a thing of the past. Now I know ads arn't really welcome on the forum and this is not an ad, but I was genuinely surprised when I called into the "locals" surf shop in Yanchep.
Its a super melow atmosphere, couch in fornt of the game console/TV, half pipe in the corner and a few surfing necesities in stock. Turns out there's a local shaper affiliated with the shop litteraly just around the corner too.
Bit different from calling into the surfs shops of present. eg. Waves.
Cought me right off guard this shop, not only somewhere to call into to grab that cake of wax but also a bit of a hangout for school kids and the like. Keep em off the streets and havin a good time in a little unit in Yanchep!
Back to basics I say, good on em, whoever they are that opened the joint

I know I havn't posted anything on here for a while but, this realy did make me want to put it out there!

I entered into the shop in North freo (sorry can't think of the name someone will pipe up ) The bloke was great and they had just about everything. Boards like i'd never seen and loads of old school rigs. They even had a few Eggs

Was really impressed..

its funny how retailers both surf and normal are complaining about online stores taking over.

Customer service doesn't cost anything and is the only reason you shop bricks and morta over a webstore.

Funny how , at this time of year, lots of stores struggle with this basic concept.

Luckily my local surfstores still have it dialled.

some bigger department stores up the road are a different story.........

North Freo = Ocean Style Long Boards
My Knew toy came from there
