VERDEGO Design has completed the
spectacular new concept store in the heart of Los Angeles’
bohemian and boardsports-crazy Venice Beach neighborhood in the building on
Venice Blvd. that used to be Samy’s Camera.
585 Boardriders will stock 500
surfboards, a fully
equipped surf shop as well as a curated art-gallery
space. The exterior entrance is skateboarder friendly and provides boarding
space on the side of the building. The store will host community events and performances
by DJs and bands. The
surrounding landscaping offers drought tollerant planting, pedestrian and bike
friendly areas and a “Backyard Garden” area for events and lounging. Quiksilver
will also have events in their new home that will create a gathering space for
the local surf, skate and snow community.
