2 Mile Surf Shop Information

2 Mile Surf Shop was started in 2003 by John Moore and Nick Krieger. John had been making custom surfboards since he was a kid on the east coast.

Drew and Chad had recently retired from their corporate jobs and along with their friend, Jack Murphy, purchased High Tide surf shop in Petaluma. High Tide was re-named Sonoma Coast Surf Shop and stocked with quality boards, suits and other core surf products. The four guys hit it off well and started discussing some scenarios. Shortly after that, Drew, Chad and Jack purchased 2 Mile from Nick and John and formed a ...
