Surfin’ PCB @ Mr. Surf’s Surf Shop

There’s shopping, there’s surfing and then there’s Mr. Surf’s Surf Shop; a Panama City Beach gem that truly embodies the spirit of the city. Originally built in 1980 and owned by Frank and Nadine Brown, the store was the first of its kind on the beach to offer such an unparalleled selection of surfboards, skim boards, skateboards, accessories, and surf & beach apparel guys and girls of all ages. In 1998 the store was bought moved by its current owners Tony and Lib (Mama Surf) Johnson and not long after Mr. Surf’s became more than a store but a beach landmark and a generational haven for beach lovers.

Don’t believe me? Go down to the store, check out the Wall of Fame and see for yourself. Polaroid’s of patrons dating back to 1980 decorate the entire back wall. Even Tony, who sees the Wall of Fame every day, sometimes stares in amazement. “So many times we’ll get kids who come in to buy a board and see their fathers on the wall buying their first board. Mr. Surf’s isn’t me…it really is a beach landmark.”

What makes the store so awesome is its authenticity. Tony and Lib are surfers. Combined, they have 36 years of surfing experience, hitting the water every day. That energy follows them back to the store and show in the passion they have for their jobs. And by passion, I mean service. People, this isn’t just a retail store. Mr. Surfs offers surf lessons and programs, skate programs and eco tours. They even have board rentals, repairs, and a storage and delivery program where seasonal condo owners can leave their boards until they come back. This summer they’ll be adding a beach activity camp. The camp will combine all things beach and fun; surfing, skimming, snorkeling, beach music and games. On top of all that, Tony himself provides the most accurate & up-to-date Daily Surf Report for the Gulf Coast and the Panama City Beach area.

On your next visit, we encourage you to stop by Mr. Surf’s. If not for the sweet gear, the boards or the information, stop by and check out the Wall of Fame. You might see someone you know.
