I'm sure there's more that I'm forgetting to mention. This was my favorite shop for tees in Tofino. They have a large selection from West Coast Tees, a Vancouver Island printer. The prices are fair and the staff was great. The shop owner gave us a couple of recommendations for Nanaimo.

The space inside the store is small, cramped and has that old musty smell that some second hand stores have. I didn't find anything I couldn't live without but I'm sure there are plenty of goods here that would make some folks very happy to find. It's worth checking out.

We browsed around a bit, found a Canadian version of Taco Cat Goat Cheese Pizza (game) that we HAD to buy for a friend back home, and picked up a couple of cute Mermaid Tales bookshop postcards to send back home to friends. The shop very much feeds into the overall small surf town vibe. It's a charming little spot and worth a visit.

The service was excellent, Tyson and Justin were helpful with info on the area, places to surf, and even made calls to find us a place to stay for the next few days. Amy, one of the surf instructors, is very knowledgeable, patient and motivating. They also have a lunch cart and pay showers. This is a great business and they are new, and we definitely will visit them again the next time we are in Ucluelet.
