Situated on the outskirts of the bustling heart of Cape Town's city center Greenmarket Square, Surf Zone surf store is one of the longest-serving surf stores to survive in the ironic context of the urban jungle. Selling it's urban inhabitants a lifestyle that promises a balanced and peaceful life.
Owned by Gigs Cilliers, former 5-time World Kneeboard Champion, and run daily by John and Touwfeeq, Surf Zone seems to just patiently plod along in these uncertain financial times, trusting that the surf lifestyle that they believe in will survive. Never without a smile on their faces.
It is this ethos and outlook on the broader world, from a surfer's perspective, that makes me proud to stock the Surf Zone with Alpha Longboards. In a multibillion economy industry where everything international is considered superior to anything locally made, the guys at Surf Zone have put their trust and faith in the smaller entrepeneurs in the local surf and skate industry. A true testament to this is their long history of support for Alpha Longboards. A longboard shaping company based in Cape Town that specialises in custom-shaped longboards. With the complete setups with Randal trucks and Kryptonics wheels selling for R1750, and the decks alone selling for R450 including griptape.
There is no better feeling as a longboard-shaper to be trusted entirely with your knowledge and input into a product that Surf Zone has to sell, and with that, stake their reputation upon.
