Beach House Store Review & Write-up in National Geographic
The legendary Surf-n-Wear’s Beach House is crammed with surf fashions and surfboards, most notably those by Yater, the Santa Barbara-based company known for their classic longboards (one of which played a part in the surfing scene in the film Apocalypse Now).
