Mollosk Surf Shop in the Sunset District.

Mollusk

Top choice in San Francisco


The geodesic-dome tugboat marks the spot where ocean meets art in this surf gallery. Legendary shapers (surfboard makers) create limited-edition boards for Mollusk, and signature T-shirts and hoodies win nods of recognition on Ocean Beach. Kooks (newbies) get vicarious thrills from coffee-table books on California surf culture, Thomas Campbell ocean collages and other works by SF surfer-artists.
