Shopping online for surf clothing is one of the best ways to get more time for actually surfing, or at least looking like you are planning to go surfing. By shopping online, you can save many hours of time and many gallons of gasoline that you would waste wandering all over the place looking for surf clothing and accessories in brick and mortar stores. Besides time and energy savings, online stores can also offer a much wider selection of styles and sizes, since their virtual shelf space is unlimited.

The Ron Jon Surf Shop is a good example of a surf shop that has excellent brick and mortar stores and also an extensive and growing online sales operation. Ron Jon Surf Shop was founded way back in 1959 Ron Jon opened its first shop on the Jersey Shore and has since expanded to locations in Florida, Mexico, South Carolina and Canada. Their Cocoa Beach, Florida store is said to be the world’s largest surf shop. Ron Jon Surf Shop’s online store started with a few t-shirts, a baseball cap and some keychains, but it now includes over two thousand items. Specializing in surfing and bodyboarding equipment, they also carry several lines of ecology-friendly clothing, including their own exclusive RonJon line.

Other major surf clothing online retailers include Killerdana, OC Surf Shop, Tilly’s, Swell, and Quiksilver. You can shop online for boardshorts, bikinis, tee shirts, hats, and, yes, surfboards and boogeyboards.
