VB Surf

Thanks for the shout out...It was great meeting Mike Bonin!

VB Surf is in this week's Small Business Spotlight!

I had a chance to meet owner David Boren yesterday as we unveiled signs officially designating Washington Square in Venice, and I learned a little more about this great local business. VB Surf carries eco-friendly brands and labels, and the shop partners with non-profit organizations (Wounded Warrior Project, run for her ®, Shriners Hospitals for Children, Heal the Bay and Big Life Foundation) to donate a percentage of VB Surf's bike and board rentals to help others.

From wetsuits to bathing suits, board wax to Go Pros, bike and board rentals, and surf lessons, VB Surf is dedicated to being the local source for all that is surf, sand and sun. David is also dedicated to making all of Venice better, and he is part of the Washington Square Business Improvement Group that helps mom and pop shops in the area thrive.

Stop by VB Surf at the southwest corner of Washington and Pacific, or find out more about this great local surf shop at vbsurf.com.
