Where: Third Coast Surf Shop St. Joseph and New Buffalo stores

Celebrate the start of summer with the Third Coast crew!

At both our St. Joseph and New Buffalo locations, be the first to see our exclusive Third Coast summer collection – apparel and accessories inspired, designed, and tested on the shores of Lake Michigan. We'll also unveil the latest generation of 3rd Coast Surfboards, our own line of boards specifically crafted with Great Lakes surfers in mind by our friends at Bing Surfboards in Encinitas, California.

Get set for warm weather with new arrivals throughout our stores from our favorite brands, including Roxy, Quiksilver, Billabong, Patagonia, and Vans. For this weekend only, we're offering up to 40% storewide on select items, including swimwear, sunglasses, skateboards, Reef sandals, and Sun Bum sunscreen. Can’t make it to the store?

St. JOSEPH STORE ONLY – Check out the new exhibition in our surf art gallery space, featuring oil paintings by local artist Sherrie McIntyre! Complete your weekend with the 7th Annual BBQ, Blues & Bluegrass: A Taste of Michigan, taking place just a short walk from our shop.

15th ANNUAL GREAT LAKES SURF LUAU

When: Saturday, September 7, 2019 
Where: Jean Klock Beach, Benton Harbor 

Save the date…Entering its 15th year, the Luau continues with a simple goal: to bring the freshwater surfing community together for a fun day at the beach! What first started as a beach party in New Buffalo, Michigan, in 2004 has evolved very little; it’s still about getting local surfers, friends, and families together to hang out.

Details to come as the event gets closer, but you can count on great live music, our legendary raffle (with a surfboard grand prize), a surf swap meet, and more at this free, family-friendly event. See you there!
