About Safari Town Surf Shop
Safari Town Surf Shop began in 1987 in a
bedroom in Stayton Oregon. Tony Gile, while at work one day (Stayton Cannery), had an idea. He got enough guys together
to order some wetsuits and started an account with a wetsuit company. One thing led to another, and it wasn't long before
people were asking if he could get surf wax, surf leashes, this and that. Tony discovered that there was an honest demand
for a surf shop that catered to real surfers. With no money to open a surf shop Tony sold surf gear from home and out of the
back of his Toyota pickup. Things went on like this for a while, but eventually a small shop was opened in Lincoln city, Oregon
and Safari Town Surf Shop was born!
Much has happened since then. Tony and Jeanne have been blessed with 3 kids and Safari Town
Surf Shop has become a real family business. While mastering the art of designing custom surfboards and expanding from one
tee shirt rack and no telephone to the danger of overflowing, Tony was shoked at the shops instant popularity. Being a surfer
himself, Tony understood the importance of staying focused on surfing.
Safari Town Surf Shop welcomes everyone, and while
keeping in it's tradition, catches the eye of tourists and surfers alike. We are a family owned and operated business and
our thankful to God for everything He gives us, Including our business, and especially the forgiveness of sins through
His Son Jesus Christ! 1 Corinthians 15:1-6
