Unique to surfing (and other board sports), the lifestyle out of the water is dominated by surfing-centric entities. In the same way that brands have built names for themselves as staples of the industry so have the stores selling the products.  Surf shops all across the world are a place to meet like-minded people, catch up on the local wave report, or pick up whatever you need to hit the surf.  Using our new Adrenalist Foursquare, we’re showing you EXACTLY where to find these beach gems.
