Cape Town Surfer

Surf Zone is a surfing shop a couple of surf shops headed up by “Gigs”. Both shops have lots of boards and a good stock of wetsuits.

The City Center store had a recent move from the corner of Castle and Burg. The move resulted in loss a bit of the retails space. They are now down the road (Burg) closer to Greenmarket Square.

The other store is in Big Bay, the development is called Eden on the bay. The best thing about this store is the board and wetsuit rentals.

When it comes to surfboards both stores mostly sell Lost… and Built surfboards.

Store Assets

• Large selection of Surf Boards, mainly Lost… and Built (done by Elton Neinbar)
• Good selection of wetsuit brands

Tips and Tricks

• City Center Store: Parking on Burg Street is pretty impossible, so don’t get stressed if you have to drive around the block a few times. It’s even worth the walk and the time saved if you park on Brie Street
• I’ve heard Surf Zone had some bad run-ins with honoring a wetsuit warranty
• Bring an ID or bank card for a deposit if you want to rent equipment from the Big Bay store.
• Conwell at Big Bay is a legend, ask for him by name
