Big Ups...ZJ Boardinghouse

Big Ups to ZJ Boardinghouse - our own local Santa Monica board shop. Thank you for the support! And, for the donations… AND for putting together a ZJ Boardinghouse Surf Team for the MAWP Surfathon!! You guys rock! Besides having everything and anything us surfers could need and/or want for our daily surf sessions and surf travels, you have ultra cool clothes (including O’Quinn and RVCA). Where else would we go for the latest styles of skateboards, surfboards, surf gear and accessories?? The staff is knowledgeable and professional and ZJ also offers surf and skate lessons through the shop. Plus, next door - the ZJ Ladies Lounge is loaded with cute girly gear…and cute girlies too!

New Team: Rocker Board Shop

Please welcome new honorary Team Rocker to the MAWP Surfathon! Team Rocker is made up of the owner/crew manning this hip, boutique surf store located on Venice Boulevard and Grand View. Rocker Board Shop brings “female-centric” surfing to new levels of respect. Not only can shop-owner and visionaire Allison fit any grommet, wahine or loc into the perfect wetsuit, but you can see how her sic sense of style illuminates the shop…from gorgeous, locally shaped Scott Anderson surfboards to only the funkiest underground surf DVDs (Longer, Singlefin: Yellow). Artistic Arbor skateboards and sexy bikinis (that actually stay on when you surf, thank you) line the lofty walls. Men with killer style - not to worry! Rocker Board Shop carries boards you’ll crave and stylish clothes you won’t be able to resist (especially when you hear the Rocker ladies tell you how nice your bum looks in those board shorts!!). For more info visit www.rockerboardshop.com.

Look for the Rocker Team surfing the MAWP Surfathon during the evening shift - yay!! Thanks Rocker…you Rock!!
