Surf the Greats

I first met Antonio during his wave forecasting class in early 2017. Since then, I've gone on two surf trips with Surf the Greats (Costa Rica in November 2017 and Chicama, Peru in February 2018), attended film screenings, art shows, yoga classes and high-intensity surf workouts in their incredible, dynamic and welcoming shop at Dundas and Carlaw. I've also spent many hours at their cafe meeting with friends, working, learning about surfing and watching WSL competitions. Alex and Antonio run an incredible shop - they're so knowledgeable, passionate and dedicated to building an inclusive and positive surf community. They're always willing to go above and beyond to make sure you'll have a great experience in the shop or out on the water. Surf the Greats gave me the tools, confidence and support to finally realize my dream. I can't thank Antonio, Matty, Aaron and Alex enough - they're the reason I now own a surfboard and surprised myself by surfing on both Lake Ontario and Huron. I am a respectful, confident and stoked surfer because of the STG community. It's become a huge part of my life, and I really value the friendships I've made and the experiences I've had with them. If you haven't been to the shop to meet them - stop by for a coffee. Thanks guys!

This has become my favourite shop in Toronto. Awesome clothing, knowledgeable staff and a great spot when you're in need of some stoke.

Cool shop, super friendly staff with a ton of local surf info. Purchased a wetsuit, boots and mitts here without an issue, been back many times since. They also have great coffee.
