If you’ve lived in the South Bay for any period of time, you’ve stopped in or at least cruised by a Spyder shop. Founded by pro surfer and board shaper Dennis Jarvis, who began creating Spyder boards in the late-70s to boost his performance on the pro circuit, his two Spyder stores—one at the corner of PCH and Artesia in Hermosa Beach; the other on Hermosa’s Pier Plaza—have for decades been friendly go-to fixtures for surf gear, from boards and wetsuits to board shorts, bikinis and beach fashion.
