About Us

After humble beginnings in a desert country with no access to surfing equipment and in a region long thought to be completely devoid of waves, the Middle East's No 1 and only dedicated Surf Shop has sprouted from a handful of surfboards for sale in a garage to cementing itself as the leading store for surfing products in the Middle East.

Since its birth in April 2009 Surf Shop Dubai has grown in leaps and bounds due to its integrity, its high standards of service, its friendly helpful attitude and its commitment to being a store for Surfers by Surfers. Surf Shop Dubai only employs staff who surf and know local conditions so it offers the best advice and assistance for the travelling or local surfer.

Surf Shop Dubai is 100% Locally owned and its 2 partners, Emirati Mohammed Rahma Ali and South African Carl de Villiers are the hard working head of a team that is the driving force behind what has become the home of surfing in the United Arab Emirates. The stores growth has been further accelerated with the loving support of the local surfing community and the passion and dedication of the owners to the promotion of surfing in the region.

The shop offers up the best priced and largest range of surfing products and accessories available on the market and is the only specialist Surf store in the Gulf.

Surf Shop Dubai has a great range of surfboards including the largest range of used surfboards available locally as well as a range of top surfboard labels. Besides new and used surfboards Surf Shop Dubai is the only store in the Middle East to supply custom, made-to-spec surfboards. Surf Shop Dubai also focuses on several important areas of surfing with an excellent range of products specifically tailored for the beginner, the surf traveler and also for parents who wish to introduce their kids or family to the world of surfing. Besides surfing products, the store has the largest range of Stand up paddleboard (SUP) boards and related accessories available including one-of-a-kind, made-to-spec custom paddleboards in the region. The store also supplies a full range of kitesurfing gear and has the biggest&best range of Surf Ski Accessories available on the local market.
