It is also incredibly popular amongst holidaymakers visiting Croyde who are seeking sports and recreational equipment to make the most of their time in the village. Ralph’s Surf Shop is notable for its friendly and personal relationship with shoppers, delivering every customer with a helpful, comprehensive and reliable service.

The shop is situated in an excellent location in the heart of the village of Croyde. The location of the shop is also a mere few minutes’ walk to the renowned Croyde Bay, which is especially convenient for surfers who are wanting to head straight from the Surf Shop to the water. The central location of the shop is no doubt one of the many reasons why it is so popular.

Ralph’s Surf Shop was set up by Ralph himself, an international surfer who came to Croyde in the early 1980s. Ralph had been surfing across the world for many years before settling in Croyde, as the combination of world-class surf and old-world village charm won him over. Ralph has an extensive knowledge of surfing and the surf industry, and this is channelled in the service he provides in his shop. The shop is run by him and his wife, Shae, who provide an entirely personal and trustworthy service based on pure passion for the industry.
