The shop offers lessons and classes in water sports, including paddle boarding and kayaking—and creatively adds meditation and yoga to the mix if you like. Beginner or vet, you’ll feel welcomed here. This is also your one-stop surf shop for expert help in choosing surf boards, kayaks, paddle boards and the like alongside swimsuits, sunglasses, cameras, watches, coastal-inspired jewelry and beachy clothing.
