Rehoboth Beach Surf Shop

Bummed. The surf instructor was a no show for a scheduled lesson today. My daughter and I woke up early on vacay, drove 40 minutes to get there, spent 30 bux on the way because I forgot towels, waited 45 mins an was a complete no show. Not cool dude.

This place is awesome! Talk about local charm. Owned by a gorgeous surfing couple and their surfer dog, Alonzo, they have put together a small but robust and adorable shop.
My husband and I got a lesson, and a board rental for the rest of the day. With this package we got a discount on their lovely tshirts too.
The lesson was a blast and both of us were able to actually ride some waves! We wouldn’t have been able to do it without the help of Eric, our instructor, who was very knowledgeable on surfing in general and on local stuff, from where the best spots are, to fun local history like the gay beaches:)
I couldn’t believe that the shop had just opened this summer. Their store is very well established, with a ton of great merchandise, from skimboards to longboards, some accessories for both, tshirts, even cute handmade purses and jewelry.
Angelica, one of the owners, is actually the resident artist as well, and does amazing paintings such as small ones you could easily put in a suitcase (that are very reasonably priced… perhaps underpriced!), as well as larger pieces, and even does custom work for boards!
After doing a ton of research, I found that surfing lessons and board rental tends to be very expensive, so since it was my birthday on a budget, I was planning on going it alone. But this place is so well priced that both of us were able to get a lesson, plus have a day with the board rentals!
I’ll never forget my first day surfing, and it won’t be my last! I’m in love for a lifetime, thank you Angelica and Eric:) Best of luck to the store!
