Our story
Community
Driven.
Since opening our doors on November 6, 1976, Sunrise Surf Shop has been a cornerstone of North Florida's surf and skate community. Built on passion, hard work, and dedication, Sunrise has grown into the region's favorite core surf and skate shop. Still family-owned and operated, we take pride in providing surfers and skaters with everything they need. To everyone who has supported us over the past 50 years — thank you. We wouldn't be here without you. Here's to 50 more. Cheers!

Our motto
🏆 World Champion
Surf and skate
with the best.
Throughout the years, Sunrise's motto has been a slogan coined by our surf and skate teams: "surf and skate with the best." The shop has helped athletes achieve their individual goals and aspirations within their own sport. Here is Justin Quintal — a Longboard World Champion — celebrating a competition win. One of many proud moments for the Sunrise family.

Our way
Giving back to
the community.
Sunrise has never lost sight of what matters most — giving back. We proudly sponsor surf contests, charities, local schools and sports-affiliated teams. We're involved in clothing drives, surf camps for children with autism, and the Donna annual run for breast cancer. This past year, we hosted the inaugural Thompson Brother Classic surf contest and raised $15,000 that went directly to families battling cancer.

Our team
Champions on
the national stage.
In recent years, the Sunrise surf team has dominated regional and national surf shop challenges sponsored by Oakley. Since 2007, Sunrise has won 9 regional events and brought home three national titles — earning the title of best surf shop in the U.S. We couldn't be more proud of the athletes who represent this shop.
