If you can’t seem to find many old school core surf shops in this neck of the woods these days, then check this out.
Just recently a store called The Black Hole opened its doors in Costa Mesa. The name sounds much more like a record store than a surf shop, and that it is…
The shop sits on a stretch of Newport Boulevard where you can find a handful of other cool stores.
Once inside you won’t find your typical surf inspired clothing brands, but more of the basics like retro longboards hanging from the ceiling, a few wetsuits, some old surf books and even a person who can fit you for a custom pair of surf trunks.
This Friday night is The Black Hole’s grand opening party. It’s all ages and includes music by the Japanese Motors and Gantez Warrior, a BBQ and free cocktails for those 21 and over.
When: Friday, August 28th at 7:30 p.m
Where: The Black Hole, Costa Mesa
Excellent!! Hopefully they don’t charge you for a bar of wax even after you’ve dropped serious cash like the glorified Tilly’s down the street.
Tanner’s boards rip, rock and roll; retro sytle with beautiful to boot.
I think you are gravely mistaken. Tanner is a cool cat but don’t mention the words “oldschool core surf shop” without mentioning Russell Surfboards. Do your homework before you open your mouth kids.
