Surf shops are my second home, I am a surfer chick for sure and love every piece of clothing,…read moreequipment, accessories in any store. I particularly love ones that aren't chains, like this one at The Village. The staff were friendly, and were helping people out in the busy store. The stuff is nice and slightly different items to a Jetty Surf or JT, with some sales at convenient times, like yesterday there was 20% off all bikinis - awesome! They work in conjunction with the sports shop across the mall, and share staff and customers alike. And unlike Jetty and JT, independent surf shops often more of a range and better equipment, because I actually surf not just look like it. Not many things attract me to The Village, but Off Shore does.

Being the only surf store on The Parade there isn't much more choice for similar shopping options,…read morethankfully you couldn't ask for much more! They have a very good range of surf style clothing, all the brands you'd expect. Th staff are very helpful also. I've bought a few things from here, my favourite winter coat included. Chris who owns the store, is particularly friendly. You can get your snowboard waxed if your heading off on a snow trip. If you are, I am filled with jealousy.

I really like the range of ladies fashion at the Snow and Surf company. Remember when it was cool…read moreto dress in Roxy, have a Roxy pencil case, own anything Billabong, etc? Well that phase was grown out of, but nevertheless, I can't disagree with the comfort and convenience of these styles. I still like buying summer dresses, tops and of course Havaianas from Snow n Surf. The quality is guaranteed as well. Other than fashion, Snow n Surf also sell bags, backpacks, bodyboards, dvds, accessories, footwear, swimwear, snow clothing, and much more.

I walk in slowly...knowing that after my last painful fling with Valleygirl, I'll most likely leave…read morewith no-one that paid attention to me...you know...like an abandoned stray cat. I had to walk all the way through to the back wall of the store before I am greeted warmly by an employee. I replied, "Hello! I'm looking for an outfit!" "Sure!" she said genuinely, "Let me help you! I'll take you around the store." I can tell she's going to be good at this. "Oh, don't worry about remembering everything I've picked out, I'll write this all up for you at the end." Wait. Is this surfy looking hot shorty actually HELPING me? Or is she just into the fact that I look like a businessman today because I am wearing my best baby blue business shirt and carrying my professional-looking black suitcase? The surf shop located 112-118 Rundle Mall is clearly "one of the best" I've experienced so far. (Am I allowed to say that cliche phrase again?) I was there for quite a while for what felt like at least 45 minutes, the employee was amazingly helpful, very friendly, got my joke about how "that red dress you've chosen is not going to last very long on my imaginary girlfriend" and...dare I say, she was sexy-lookin'. Not only was she sexy, but the beach straw hat, sexy red dress, sunnies, and shoes that she picked out for me was definitely the best looking outfit chosen by a a shop assistant so far. Obviously coming back here to bring sexy back. Honeymoon holiday gift for my next girlfriend? This is the place for that. I wonder what other shop can top this?

I can't quite remember the last time I saw anyone wearing Billabong or Quicksilver merchandise but…read morethere must be someone! *CUE HEAVY INTRO MUSIC AND SURF VIDEO* Jetty Surf will have most anything you want as far as surf and skate goes. Clothing, swim wear, shoes, boards, and bags. The staff are generally very helpful young whipper snappers. I don't shop here anymore, however I certainly used to. Surf shops were once my only outlet for fashion items, but my taste has since matured. But, if you feel like being a walking advertisement with the brand logo of your new t-shirt splashed across the fron of it, be my guest, it's one of the best places to go!

This is a great surf shop which stocks heaps of cool boards including short boards, mid range boards, long boards, retro replicas as well as doing all your necessary board repairs in a professional manner to achieve top results. These guys truly know what they are doing and build any custom design for you. They also stock heaps of surf wear and surf accessories like wallets, hats, bags, etc. They keep all the best brands like Billabong, Cult, O'Neill and more.

It is also a Surf store that's dedicated to it's labels, including Quicksilver, Rusty, Billabong, Rip Curl Oakley, Globe, Volcum, and more... It's personally not my thing, but as a shop, is traditional with it's beach culture and style. The coolest thing about this shop for me is the goldfish on the counter.

The shop itself is actually divided into two different shops and is clearly advertised on the front…read morewindow as such but I'm not convinced the two work together in harmony, as I get a sense of they must've thought it was a good idea at the time perhaps to save money on rental. The front room is The Sandy Shack and the second through the centre doorway is She's My Baby, which has change rooms and sells maternity wear and some kids clothing...hmmm whatever. If you are redecorating a shack or creating a coastal theme in your home, then add a touch of beach inspired decor from The Sandy Shack. There are starfish ornaments, an interesting shell picture frame which has been strung together with twine, sea shells and other nautical items. It also supports local artists by stocking and offering for sale their various artistic endeavours such as photographs, decoupage art, ceramics, etc. There's also surf style jewellery, caps and lotions. Anyway, worth a look if you're down that way.

The Sandy Shack is great because not only does it stock cool beachy decor but the stock is locally…read moremade :) Sandy Shack use to be more of a surf shop but has now turned into a place where you can buy paintings, jewellery, soaps, home wares and even maternity wear by She's my Baby. I'd definitely recommend coming in and supporting local South Australians. There's some great finds and of course the stock is unique and hard to find anywhere else.

This Surf Central has a surprisingly large range of kids' clothing, for boys and girls, as well as…read morea lot of women's clothing. Their prices are very high for the kind of stuff you can buy at a shop nearby for less than half the price, though there are some great designs in here - there's a gold on black dress I really like, but no way would I pay $90 for a casual beach dress. Their range of swim wear is quite good, with a couple of one-pieces, but mostly bikinis. There are lots of colours and patterns and different levels of 'support' in their bikinis, which is useful if you're after something specific. At the back is a usual range of Havaianas, but not other kind of footwear. Around the counter are some accessories and sunnies. I see nothing special about this store. Their prices are on par with most surf shops - expensive.

This is your typical surf store that virtually offers the same as every other. The one thing I did…read morelove was that they had a clearance sale on all clothing with 20% storewide. This is almost unheard of at JR's or the like so it is really great to see a surf shop offering that kind of sale and discount. In terms of stock is has the usual, a selection of shoes including a wall of Haviannas at the back and skate and casual shoes. There were some nice looking handbags, shoulder bags and clutches and the usual accessories .There was also the cutest range of kids and babies wear with tiny little rashies if your little one is into being trendy and sun smart at the beach.
