Backdoor Surf

I think the days of shopping at surf shops are behind me. Whenever I walk into one I get a wave of form 1 socials and trying wy to hard to impress boys. Still, for the odd thing, it doesn’t help to look. I really like Amazon Takapuna because it’s on the road, meaning not in a mall, meaning 100x better.
I often waltz into here when i’m walking down this street, just to have a wee lookie. The staff are super friendly and chilled in the way you’d expect from a surf shop and leave you alone until you start to look like you might need some assistance, which i really like.
There is a good range of boys and girls surf stuff in the fron and a pretty massive surfboard selection out the back. Theer are also wetsuits, shoes, sunnies, beanies and other surf and skate stuff. plus a few gears for the snow.
The store is fun and vibrant and is perfect for the products. Being just up the road from Takapuna beach, it always feels pretty summery and relaxed in here which sets the scene nicely for the place.
