The Dream

Santa Cruz Surf Shop was founded in 1969 by a few wily locals destined to surf their life away...fast forward to 1994 and its current ownership is still living that dream.

What we are

What was once Santa Cruz Surf Shop and Santa Cruz Skate Shop has turned into Santa Cruz Skate and Surf Shop.  A Surfer/Skater ran business with the customer in mind we provide the best customer service with the most product knowledge for the brands our store carries. Our mission is to support the brands that support the athletes that create our industry.

Where we have been

With over 16 years of being on the street, our focus is giving the customer what they want. Having sponsored the best surfers from Santa Cruz over the years our roots run deep in Santa Cruz and beyond.

What we support

Santa Cruz Skate and Surf Shop supports The Core a non-profit dedicated to preserving the youth through positive reinforcement and activities that make it fun. The Core headquarters are located inside Santa Cruz Skate and Surf Shop where any given day there is a balls of fury ping pong tourney, a game of pool or a mean game of SKATE going down on the flatscreen. Grind Out Hunger is a food drive done in conjunction with Second Harvest Food Bank that targets the educational system through encouraging the youth to raise food and money to eradicate childhood hunger. After 5 years of Grind Out Hunger the kids are off and running raising over 500,000 pounds of food for our community.
