BEST SURF SHOP
O’NEILL
- Many people don’t know that Santa Cruz icon Jack O’Neill actually established his first store in 1952 in a garage in … San Francisco. Right next to his favorite bodysurfing break.
- O’Neill moved to Santa Cruz at the end of the decade. His 500-square-foot O’Neill Surf Shop near the entrance to Cowell Beach quickly became an epicenter for Northern California surfing. It was, in fact, the first business to call itself a surf shop. The State Historical Resources Commission designated the spot as a California Point of Historical Interest.
- Jack O’Neill is credited with inventing the wetsuit, and his son Pat holds credit for inventing the leash on a surfboard. The neoprene wetsuits designed by O’Neill allowed surfers to extend their sessions in the frigid waters of Santa Cruz County.
- Today, O’Neill is one of the biggest wetsuit brands on the planet. The O’Neill brand was sold to a Dutch company in 2007, but the Santa Cruz-based O’Neill family continues to operate and own the wetsuit business.
- Over 100,000 children have participated in the O’Neill Sea Odyssey. Jack O’Neill founded the free, ocean-based program to educate young people about ocean ecology and the marine environment of the Monterey Bay. An afternoon aboard the impressive catamaran is basically the best field trip ever. HUGH MCCORMICK
BEST RUNNING STORE
FLEET FEET
- Fleet Feet of Aptos is locally owned and operated, and your go-to spot for your walking, running, and fitness needs. Step on the magic scanner to map your unique feet, then find the perfect shoe.
- Fleet Feet’s core values are community, inspiration, excellence, inclusivity, and innovation. The shop is a place to visit and get inspired to live a better, healthier and fuller life.
- The North Face recently named Fleet Feet Aptos the winner of the “Never Stop Exploring Award.” The award recognized the specialty running store for demonstrating dedication to encouraging and enabling outdoor exploration within the community.
- Fleet Feet provides training, funding, and equipment to support positive change through running. Their “Project Fit” program supports elementary school running programs.
- The shop goes above and beyond for young athletes, providing dozens of pairs of shoes for the local chapter of Girls on the Run, and over 70 pairs of track spikes for Aptos and Watsonville high schools. HUGH MCCORMICK
