Surf gear for every part of your session lives here, stocked by a South Florida surf shop that has outfitted local surfers since 1978. Shop performance surfboards from HaydenShapes, Channel Islands, Firewire and Modern, beginner friendly softtops from Storm Blade, Softech and our own Island Water Sports brand, plus bodyboards from Hubboards and DaFiN swimfins. Round out your quiver with FCS and Future Fins, Dakine and FCS leashes, traction pads and surf wax.
We carry wax in warm water formulas from Sex Wax, Sticky Bumps, Mrs. Palmers and FCS, which is what you want for our bath like summer ocean, plus ding repair kits and board socks to protect your investment.
What surfboard is best for a beginner in Florida?
A softtop in the 7 to 8 foot range, like our Storm Blade, Softech or Island Water Sports models, gives you the stability and paddle power to catch Florida's smaller, slower waves. They are forgiving, durable and far safer to learn on than a hard board.
What surf wax should I use in warm water?
Use a warm or tropical water formula. Our Sex Wax, Sticky Bumps and Mrs. Palmers warm options stay grippy in South Florida's roughly 80 degree summer water, where a cold water wax would just melt off.
