    Which surf shop in the VB/NC area has the best deals on wetsuits, accessories, etc.?

    I know most shop prices are hiked up, but is there a particular one that has fairly reasonable prices?

    I have gone into Freedom Surf Shop, and although it's a nice store, the prices were out of this world (ex. $3/bar of wax)

    Surf and Adventure

    Go check out Rob down at Surf and Adventure Co. in Sandbrige. They were having a sale of 20% off on wetsuits, gloves, boots etc. Not sure if it is still going on, but might be worth giving them a ring.

    I'll check out S&A tomorrow. I hope that sale isn't limited to 3/2's. Also, that $3 wax at freedom was for the warm water sticky bumps. It was a long time ago, and I could be exaggerating a little about the price, but I remember it being way more than the $1 I was used to paying. Good store though, no disrespect inteded.

    Good wax prices and good wax at Austin's Surf Shop... not to mention good boards. He only carries a limited amount of surf gear. RC's used to be ok - acroos from 17th Street surfshop along Pacific Ave.

    Rumor has it that Coastal Edge is about top become a boardless shop!! :eek:

    meaning they're going to stop selling boards and become a full on apparel store.

    sorry but what kind of surf shop doesn't sell boards :confused:

    Depending on your size (usually medium) the sample sales are by far the best deals around.
