Alternative Surf has been a leading source of bodyboards and accessories in the United States since 1995.
They were the first bodyboard store to have an online store, and this helped them capture a greater market of bodyboarders and water sports enthusiasts.
With over two decades in the industry, Alternative Surf has become a household name for all sorts of bodyboarding needs across the world.

In 2010, the Frazzetta family in Seal Beach, CA took over Alternative Surf. Today, Ryan Frazzetta, an avid bodyboarder himself, is in charge of running the show.
When he is not riding waves across California’s beach breaks, he is ensuring that Alternative Surf releases only high quality products delivered at high quality service.
Alternative Surf is the place to go for all of your bodyboarding needs. Whether you need a board, a pair of swim fins, a wetsuit, a leash, other bodyboard accessories, or just some cool apparel to wear on the beach, find your way to this grassroots store with a homey vibe.

If you have to keep worrying about the fit of your wetsuit, you won’t be able to concentrate on the waves.
