Hydro Surf Shop
Hydro Surf, established in Dunedin 1985 is now one of the oldest and last ‘original’ surf shops in New Zealand, starting in an era where equipment was still made at home in the workshop. Staying in business for all these years is not easy, particularly up against the cold harsh conditions we face being the closest to the South Pole.
The team at Hydro focuses on stocking gear that actually works for local conditions, with a mix of trusted brands and practical pieces you’ll reach for again and again. Whether you’re new to surfing or have been in the water for years, it’s the kind of shop where advice is easy and not pushy.
Alongside the Esplanade store, Hydro Surf Shop also has an online store, making it simple to shop surf gear and apparel wherever you are. It’s an easy way to grab the basics, replace worn-out gear, or browse new arrivals inspired by life on the coast.
Rooted in the local surf scene, Hydro Surf Shop keeps things straightforward, functional, and connected to Dunedin’s coastline.
