Beach House Classic Boardshop, founded in 1996, made its mark as New Jersey’s original rebirth-era longboard surf shop. Since the opening of the shop, its set out to create a space that would pay tribute to the history and culture of surfing while selling top-of-the-line products and providing a haven for like-minded surfing enthusiasts. While the personable service and wide range of products have helped build the Beach House into a successful business, it’s the shop’s atmosphere that has turned it into a destination. The shop’s mission, since the day it opened its doors, has always been to stay true to longboarding and modern retro movements, and over the two decades, the Beach House has held to that mission by bringing the surf community together and strengthening the local surf culture. Holding this ideal as the foundation of the shop’s philosophy, The Beach House has made a name for itself as a place where surfers, green-horned and grey-bearded alike, can gather to tell stories, share the latest tips, and simply be themselves without judgment. The Beach House also brings the community together through a multitude of events, including Surf Movie Nights, holding the Annual Kenny Tooker Memorial Longboard Classic each fall, and its biggest event, the semiannual Old School Boardswap. The Boardswap, which is held in the spring and fall, attracts approximately 300 surfers from up and down the entirety of the East Coast. An event unlike no other on the East Coast.
