The Way Things Were




These pictures were sent to us from a lady who now lives in Florida. She and her family were the original owners of the downtown shop, on 28th St. We received this e-mail from her shortly before she sent us the photos. The first picture is of the shop as we know it today. The second photo is of Mrs. Barry and her little friend, approximately 65 years ago; the third photo is the house after it was dropped down, onto cinder blocks, because the wood pilings had begun to rot. Pretty cool to have a bit of history of our building, as well as what the town was like way back in the day. Thank you, Mrs. Barry! ~BPM

"Hi, Chauncey's Surf Shop -
This e-mail is from an old 70 year old lady, who spent many a summer in the old beach house you now occupy. My grandfather, Frank Fertitta, built it as a base for duck hunting. I came across a photo of it when it used to sit up on high wood pilings and was surrounded by sand dunes. Remember those????? There was a marsh across the 2-lane road rather than the Jolly Roger nightmare. I sat on the screened porch one day in the 80's, saw a guy walking an elephant across the 8-lane highway, looked at my Aunt Rosemary and said, "I'm outta here" and I never went back.
I am going to mail you the photo.
Cynthia Barry"

Icon of the 80's. Peter Schroff is back doing what does so well. His signature noses, tails and paint sprays make these boards really stand out! Most importantly they work incredibly.

The first photo is of a beached buoy at Northside Indian River Inlet. It was washed ashore so strongly that pushing it with all your might still couldn't budge it. The second photo is the beach at 56th St., or at least what's left of it. Amazing what Mother Nature is capable of.... ~BPM

Now you see it....




Not many boards are beyond repair.  Here's a prime example of before and after.  Got a ding, dent, or major damage?  Bring it by.  We do repairs at both stores - 54th St. and 29th St.

We brag about how much we love the fall...that is, until Daylight Savings Time hits and it gets dark at 5 p.m. Makes ya think about all of the stuff you were doing at the same time in the summer.

Dream Job

I know I'm a lucky guy - great job, great customers.  But traveling in Northern New Jersey the other day I spotted this snowball stand right on the beach.  I COULD DO THIS!! ~BR

When its good, its good!


November 3rd was a great day in Ocean City.  A picture perfect fall day with pumping waves all day long.  Light winds offshore with a head high swell makes for happy surfers around these parts.  Here shop employee, Zach, takes advantage of a beautiful day and wave!
