Surf Hut, Imperial Beach

A traditional surf shop serving the community for more than 14 years, this crowded store offers surfboards, wetsuits and clothing. Since skateboards were created as a way for surfers to stay in surfing shape during the winter months, it is no surprise that the store also stocks a complete line of skateboard equipment and gear including specialized shoes by Osirus and other top manufacturers. High-performance surfboard lines in stock include Velzy Longboards, Bob McTavish and Mike Richardson. Custom hand-shaped boards by the store's own, Bret Bender, are also offered.
