Everybody's going surfing... surfing Canada, eh!
I never would have thought I'd find a surf shop in Calgary. But lo and behold, we have one. And it's been around for nearly a decade!
I can't help but chuckle at the name, Red Nik's. There's nothing 'typically Albertan' about the store. Red Nik's is full of summer and surf wear. When you want some board shorts or a new swimsuit for that winter vacation and find yourself out of season, there's a big selection here. They also carry clothing that's more climate appropriate (think hoodies, sweaters and jeans).
What's a surf shop without surf boards? Surprise! They carry those too. I stood next to one and I swear it was nearly twice my height. I'm not sure what percentage of the population in Calgary surfs, but looking like you do has been a long time trend. Alternatively, if the ocean's too far away, why not buy yourself a longboard?
