Aqua Surf Shop

A few years back Aqua relocated from its original home on Sloat to a more lively corner of the Outer Sunset, just down the street from Outerlands and Trouble Coffee. From its salvaged wood walls and checkerboard tile floors, Aqua sells Ocean Beach-ready clothing—hats, tees, flannel button-downs and lightweight down puffers. Their staff, a team of hardcore local surfers, can help you choose from a wide selection of new and used boards from Bic, Surftech and Boardworks. If you’re not quite ready to buy, Aqua also offers 24-hour rentals for wetsuits and boards.
