Just because it’s not sitting in front of Ocean Beach, don’t doubt Oakland Surf Club’s ability to throw down legit surf swag. Not necessarily a new face on the Bay Area water-loving scene, the local clothing brand opened this newest brick and mortar location on Broadway a little more than a year ago. Walk just over 10 minutes from MacArthur Station to find its fresh import of ocean breeze. Handmade surfboards by local shapers stand tall and proud, original OSC clothing hangs proud and loud, and events blossom in the attractively sparse boutique space.
