History

Established in 2006.

We started as a full time surf school and camp on Nantucket Island in 2006. We opened the doors to Surfari SUP & Surf in Manchester by-​the-​Sea in April of 2011. After the 2012 summer season we sold off our surf school on Nantucket and continued growing our shop in Manchester. June 2015 will be the start of a new chapter with our second location on Main St in Gloucester, MA. We love to SUP, surf, the beach and outdoors!

Gloucester location opens in June 2015

Meet the Business Owner

Christian D.

Business Owner

Christian was born and grew up in Manchester by-​the-​Sea. After a year of bodyboarding the Singing Beach shore pound, he stood up on his first wave at Cahoon Hollow in Wellfleet. Good Harbor Beach and Long Beach were where he grew up surfing along with other spots on Cape Ann, Hampton, Cape Cod, Maine and Rhode Island. After surfing Jersey beach break during his college years with occasional spring break escapes to Puerto Rico he quickly transitioned into the island life.

Working and surfing the summer seasons on Martha’s Vineyard and Nantucket helped fund extended winter seasons on Maui and in the Caribbean surfing and sailing. Christian started teaching surfing full time in Nantucket in 2000 and eventually opened Nantucket Surfari with his wife Nicole in 2006.

After moving back to Cape Ann in 2010, Surfari Stand Up Paddle & Surf opened its doors in Manchester by-​the-​Sea in April of 2011. Surfari Gloucester opened in June of 2015!
