Surf’s Up in Seattle
Surfing in Seattle? Yep, and it’s a year long activity despite the area’s cold winter waters.
For surfing lessons, information, and apparel and boards, locals go to Cheka Looka Surf Shop in Fremont. Apparel and boards are available year round. Lessons offered in spring and summer.
The shop opened about 10 years ago when two good pals thought it would be a fun business. Both were surfing enthusiasts with day jobs, and worked the business around their respective schedules. Eventually one partner bought out the other, but the two remain good friends though now in different geographic locations.
Don’t you love hearing about local people who realize their dreams?
Location: 3507 Evanston Avenue North, Fremont (map it)
Hours: Monday - Friday, 10 am - 6 pm; Sundays 11 am - 6 pm.
While it’s nowhere near as big as Ron Jon’s, Cheka Looka is a locally owned shop committed to providing quality products at the lowest possible prices.
