Wetsuits for LA conditions

year. We carry Rip Curl and O'Neill wetsuits in 3/2mm and 4/3mm
for men, women, and kids — in every entry style.
Not sure which wetsuit to choose?

sunscreen, sunglasses, hats, boardshorts, beach gear, and more.
If you surf in Los Angeles, we stock it.
Family-owned. Venice Beach. Since 2006.
Rider Shack started in a 500 square foot garage near Venice and
Marina del Rey — just Jeff, Lacey, and a long list of goals.
Within the first year, Fox 11 named us Best Surf Shop in
Los Angeles, an award we went on to win three years in a row.
Today we're in a 5,000 sq ft location in the heart of Venice,
stocked with the best surfboards, wetsuits, fins, surf skates, and
beach gear in Los Angeles. We surf the same breaks you do — Venice
Beach, Malibu, El Porto, the South Bay. When you ask us what board
to buy, we're speaking from experience, not a spec sheet.
Expert advice from surfers who actually surf here
As a family-owned surf shop in Los Angeles, we know these breaks
personally — Venice Beach, Malibu, El Porto, the South Bay. Whether
you need help choosing the right
surfboard
for your level and local conditions, a
wetsuit
suited to LA's water temperatures, or honest advice on
wax, fins, and everything
in between — come talk to us. We're surfers first,
retailers second.
