We have Moved!

COME VISIT OUR NEW SHOP!



After 21 years in the Festival at Riva Center, locally owned and operated East of Maui Boardshop has moved to the Woodbridge Shopping Center at 2444 Solomons Island Rd in Annapolis. 

We are so stoked to be in a locally owned center with other locally owned businesses like Candles Off Main, Dukes Golf, and Basmati Indian.


The Festival had been a good home for many years, but the construction and remodeling of the center over the past 3 years had a huge negative impact to our business. The management and the California owners of the center, American Realty were non responsive to our requests for advertising co-op or rent reductions. We are so happy to be out of there, and be leasing space from a local landlord. We can’t wait to show our customers and the rest of Annapolis our new home.

oops! we forgot we had a blog!

I received a note from a customer/friend that this blog has not been updated in a while. In fact it hasn't been updated since March of 2015! In all honesty, I had forgotten the shop even had this blog.
In this fast paced world of instant gratification, tweets, facebook accounts and sound bites, does anyone take the time to look at something for more than a few  seconds, much less sit down and read a blog?
The shop has been SUper busy since that last entry in 2015.   Stand Up continues to grow by leaps and bounds, and we continue to work hard helping our customers buy the right gear.   Rest assured while we may not be writing about it, we are paddling every chance we get. We live it, we breath it.
Like most people, I don't have time to write (or read) a thousand words right now.....so for the time being, I'll let this photo I took down in the Outer Banks speak for itself. After all a picture IS worth a thousand words!   Aloha-MB
