At ASN some of us have been surfing since before we could walk. Surfing has taken us all over the world to find new rushes and experience nature in all its glory. There is an abiding call to the surfer lifestyle--one that blends athleticism with a mystical love of the ocean. Of course, the last few decades have seen even more technical and material innovations on this ancient sport, and that’s because of the young energy that continues to be poured into this area. So whether you’re longboarding, shortboarding or stand-up paddling (SUP), welcome to the family!

Any surfer knows that local shops are the best source for deep knowledge of local conditions and secret spots. Since the art of surfing comes complete with dings and damage, a local shop is also going to be your best friend for making your best board as good as new when the inevitable happens. We hope you enjoy connecting with surf shops, lesson providers, camps and resorts--whether you’re looking in your neighborhood or planning a trip to the other coast. When you get there, tell the business owner that ASN sent you, and then get to know your new pal by sharing your enthusiasm for this magnificent sport.

And if you know about a surf business or spot that isn’t listed, let us know at info@ActionSportsNow.com.
