The Frog House Surf Shop
6908 W Coast Hwy, Newport Beach, CA, 92663 · (949) 642-5690
In business since: 1962 (64 years)
Newport Beach's oldest surf shop still at its original address, in business since 1962. Surfboard repairs (shortboards and longboards, poly and epoxy) are personally handled in-house by master board technician Scott Whitmer (35+ years' experience), covering fin repairs, delamination, and broken, creased, or dinged boards; color simulation is offered for seamless finishes. No appointment needed -- boards can be dropped off anytime during business hours. Repairs start at $35 with an exact quote given after inspection; most repairs take 1-2 weeks. A separate wetsuit repair and alteration service (zippers, seams, custom alterations) is also offered, run by longtime seamstress Joanne Huebner.
