Alki Surf Shop

Ten years ago today we opened the doors of Alki Surf Shop not knowing what to expect. We struggled at first, but with the help of so many great friends and customers we've enjoyed a decade of fun in the sun. A big thank you to all of you as we look forward to another 10 years. Mahalo!

Alki Surf Shop is the legendary home of Genuine Alki Brand clothing. The legendary Alki Surf Shop celebrates the free spirit of surfing and Alki Beach, the birthplace of Seattle. Join the Alki Nation and Keep It Genuine. Mahalo.

At Alki Surf Shop, we love surf culture, surfing and surfers—especially the greats. We usually have classic surfing films running in the background at the store, including North Shore and Big Wednesday — both feature surfing legend Gerry Lopez. https://bit.ly/49weler

Guy Kawasaki's recent podcast episode features Gerry Lopez. If you're a fan, you might enjoy listening. BTW, Guy was nice to write a blurb on the back cover of Terri's book, Blogging on Instagram.

Gerry Lopez: Surfing Icon on Mastering Waves and Life | Guy Kawasaki's Remarkable People In this enlightening conversation, legendary surfer Gerry Lopez reflects on his remarkable journey from mastering the waves of Hawaii to pioneering high-performance shortboards. He delves into the deep connection between surfing and yoga, the evolution of surf etiquette, his Hollywood acting experie...

We're thinking of adding a couple of new ones. Which do you like?

Here's Kahuna Dave of Alki Surf Shop, a.k.a., "Have Clam Gun, Will Travel." 🌊🦪 . During the off-season, he's in the store Friday—Sunday. On the other days he takes care of projects at home, does maintenance at our Airbnb (The Horsfall House) and enjoys rare chances to relax at Copalis, the "other beach."

This March and April, Washington Fish & Wildlife has opened a lot of dates to dig for razor clams. So, Dave and ("Mrs. Kahuna," ) have twice ventured to the ocean. With clam gun in hand, Dave proudly shows off a recent "catch of the day." 🤠

Have you gone digging for razor clams? It's fun! You'll need a clam gun and a one-day license that allows you a limit of 15 clams. We have 2 permits. Take 'em home, clean 'em (look it up on YouTube), then do what we do: 👩‍🍳

Season with salt, pepper, garlic powder
Dust with flour
Dip in an egg wash
Coat in panko, then
Deep fry until golden 👍

Fresh razor clams are amazing.😋

Summer is coming and the store will be open every day. Call 206.403.1901 to check if we're there. The Kahuna is looking forward to seeing our friends at Alki Beach. 🏖️

Aloha and Mahalo! 🌺

Saw this article on Westside Seattle about Homefront Smoothies moving. We love Saravy and hope she will find a place in the neighborhood:

After 22 years Homefront Ice Cream is asked to move out | Westside Seattle Sat, 09/24/2022 Homefront Ice Cream, a fixture on Alki Beach at 2622 Alki Ave SW for the past 22 years will be gone as of Oct. 31. Owner Savary Ou, who came to the United States from Cambodia when she was eleven, has grown the business steadily over the past two decades, now offering more than 58 fl...

Some of the lowest tides of the past decade are happening this week. Swipe for best times to come down for some beach exploring!

There will be lots of opportunities to see cool aquatic flora and fauna. If you bring a plastic bag to collect bits of debris and plastic, you can help make the beach a better place. You can stop by the shop if you need one.

Thanks!
