Knowledgeable staffers are highly experienced in all facets of surfing, I do believe lessons are available. When your ready to Hang Ten Dude, drop by Ocean Surf Shop first.

Most gift shops were closed by that point, aside from Pipeline. They had a huge selection, so I ended up spending way over $100 for toooo much stuff. I even bought myself a couple of shirts and magnets. They had items for both Charleston and Isle of Palms, which was even better. I'd definitely recommend this spot. And it's HUGE.

I'm always a fan of repping the neighborhood and started buying her Park Circle Local Brand products many years ago. As much as I like the design, the quality is great too. Everything I've bought over the years, I still have. Most recently I stopped in for the new crewneck sweatshirt she made that has the hoodie pocket on the front. This will definitely become a new favorite. They also had clearance bins and my friend found two great shirts for $15 bucks a piece. Definitely head there to get your shopping done this season by supporting a local artist and business owner.

I love that they keep up with the brands instead of only selling Patagonia, Mtn Hardware and the like. I saw they had stuff from great brands like Cotopaxi and Arc'Teryx.

Again, they offer a lot of the brands you would think of in an outdoor store, but keeping up with the trends, you'll also see Blundstones, Oofos, and Danner to name a few. This downtown location has your outdoor needs covered.

As the Maid of Honor, I was in charge of plans for the weekend and I wanted to start the trip with my own version of a bike tour around Folly. I called 2 days prior to our arrival because I didn't initially think we needed a formal reservation, but started to get nervous as we got closer to the trip. When I called, the guys told me it would be no problem and they would have 10 bikes ready for us at 11:00am that Friday. I wasn't sure what would happen when we arrived, so I held my breath and crossed my fingers all would work out. I was ecstatic when we arrived to see Will and Cameron already at the door waiting on us!! We were maybe 5 minutes or so after 11:00 (10 girls can be a lot to get out the door) but they both commented on us "being on time," so I felt much better. They got us setup and on our way very quickly. I even asked for some of their "expert opinions" on restaurant/bars we should stop throughout the day and they provided us with great recommendations. I think having the bikes on a Friday was perfect because we didn't run into too much traffic and it felt very safe everywhere we went. We were really sad to return the bikes at the end of the day. I thought we would only spend a few hours on them since Folly isn't that big, but we were having so much fun we stayed on them until the shop was closing. By the end of the weekend, I asked the girls what their favorite part of the trip was and the most common response was the bikes!! If I had to do it over, I would probably pay to rent bikes for the full weekend. It was the best way to get 10 girls around Folly Beach!
