Rip Curl features a large selection of surfing clothes for men and women in their well-sized Santa Monica location. Located within two blocks of the beach, Rip Curl offers everything from board shorts to wet suits and surfboards. It also offers jeans, shirts, shoes and plenty more, including trendy accessories like sunglasses and jewelry. The staff is outgoing and friendly, and the vibe is very laid back and relaxed. Free parking is available in any of the community garages.
ZJ Boarding House is the premier skate and surf shop of Santa Monica and perhaps all of Los Angeles. For 22 years, its mission has been to house some of the finest surf and skate apparel around, like Vonzipper and Element. Its influence is local but reaches far beyond. Known world wide for its impressive product line, its passionate staff — all surfers and/or skaters themselves — have helped customers of all levels find the right product for their needs. Recently, Huxley and Billabong, two major labels of the surf and skate trade, have established flagship stores inside the shop.
