Welcome to the team Justin Buford! Justin has been a part of the shop since we opened in 2010. He was a true local grom who would spend his days skateboarding in our parking lot and washing rental wetsuits when he wasn’t in school. His family lived just up the street and his step-dad is one of the best surfers in town. His brother-in-law comes from the legendary South County Surf family the Ledbetters. Surfing is who and what Justin is, it’s in his blood. 

Pacific City is his home, but he is just as comfortable on the road or in an airplane. He spent the last couple of years living in Southern California honing his skills on a longboard and working at a surfboard manufacturer. Currently, he is traveling the world in search of waves with his girlfriend Rosie. Together they’ve already been to Australia, Indonesia, Philippines, and Thailand. But this is just the start of his travels. Over the years he’s been to Mexico, Costa Rica, Haiti, and taken numerous trips to Baja. He’s seen a ton of the world for someone so young, and it’s helped shape him into the well rounded person he’s become. We are honored to have him represent the shop and continue to be a part of our story. 

We aren’t sure when he’s going to make it back to PC, but we know he will soon because it’s his home. In fact, his family recently moved right next door to the shop! So keep exploring the world and riding waves most of us can only dream of Justin. Thanks for being with us from day 1 and looking forward to numerous adventures to come!
