About Relic Surf Shop
Relic Surf Shop is the original surf shop and surf school serving Ucluelet and the wider Pacific Rim coastline. Based on Peninsula Road in the heart of the village, the shop has built a loyal following among locals and visitors drawn to the cold-water breaks of Vancouver Island's wild west coast. It is a one-stop hub for anyone looking to get in the water, whether they have surfed for years or are stepping onto a board for the first time.
The shop rents surfboards, stand-up paddleboards, wetsuits, booties, gloves and hoods sized for the chilly Pacific, along with skateboards and accessories for time spent off the water. Rental gear is available from 9am to 9pm seven days a week, with after-hours pickup arranged through nearby partner accommodation. Beginner and intermediate surf lessons run throughout the season, pairing students with experienced coaches who know the local beach breaks at Wickaninnish and Florencia Bay.
What makes Relic stand out is its deep roots in the local surf community and its year-round commitment to the sport regardless of season or weather. Staff are genuine surfers who tailor board recommendations to conditions and ability, and the shop carries a curated range of cold-water apparel and hardware. For travellers basing themselves in Ucluelet, Relic is the most convenient and best-stocked option for surf and SUP gear in town.
