Longboard House in Indialantic, Florida, isn’t just any surf shop—it’s the result of Mike Mann whose passion for surfing has shaped both his own life and East Coast surf culture. Reflecting on his first experience surfing in the late ‘50s, Mann remembers, “I caught my first wave on a rented surfboard, and from that moment forward I never again had a doubt about what I would do with my life.” Growing up in Miami Beach, Mann knew he wanted more than the traditional path his friends were on. “I had to get out of there—or face the prospect of becoming a stable, respectable citizen who went to work every day.” Instead, Mann chased his love of the ocean and never looked back.

A Dream Built on the Aloha Spirit

Mann wanted a surf shop that captured more than just the thrill of the waves; he wanted it to celebrate the camaraderie and community of surfing. “I always had a dream of having a surf shop founded in the aloha spirit, a place for everyone and of fun and joy,” he shares. With Longboard House, Mann realized that dream—a space where surfers, beach lovers, and travelers alike could gather, find the perfect board, and rekindle their love for the ocean. This isn’t just a place to shop; it’s a place to connect with Florida’s surf legacy.

The Largest Selection of Boards on the East Coast

Over the decades, Longboard House has earned a reputation as the East Coast’s premier destination for surfboards, carrying everything from longboards to skimboards, and each piece in the collection reflects Mann’s respect for surf culture. “It excites even veteran surfers,” Mann says of the shop’s collection, which spans both iconic brands and innovations from legendary shapers. This extensive selection is a nod to his love of the sport and his years of travel, writing, and connecting with surf legends around the world.

More Than Surfboards: A Coastal Lifestyle Under One Roof

But Longboard House isn’t just about boards; it’s a full coastal lifestyle destination. “For the lovers of the beaches and surf to be able to have both incredible convenience and excitement under one roof,” Mann envisioned a space stocked with beachwear, accessories, and gifts for men, women, and kids.
