You don't have to be a surfer dude or dudette to shop at Surf the Earth. In fact, the locally owned surf shop caters to those who are thinking about getting on the board for the first time. The helpful and knowledgeable staff can help you pick out the right board for you, or even rent you a surfboard to try out before you buy. Free surf lessons are offered during weekdays at Pawleys Island Beach and various surf camps are held to help beginners. Of course, Surf the Earth is also equipped to outfit the most experienced surfers, too.
