En savoir plusSurf, SUP, and Surfskate: Your GlissEvolution Surf Shop in Pornichet
Updated July 2026
Since 2005, our Pornichet surf shop has been supporting beginners and advanced surfers with surfboards, stand up paddles, surfskates, and surf foils. Whether you're looking for your first foam board or a performance shortboard, our team of riders will advise you on the volume and shape best suited to your body size and the waves of the Atlantic Coast. Explore our departments: surfboards, stand up paddle, surfskate and surf foils.
Choosing Your Surfboard by Rider Level
For beginners, a foam board or a mini-malibu offers stability and buoyancy for learning to paddle and stand up. For progressing, a more compact progressive or fish board allows you to link up the soft waves of the Atlantic. For performing, a responsive shortboard caters to advanced surfers. For style, a longboard prioritizes glide and nose riding on gentle waves.
Our Riding Disciplines
The surfboard category spans all shapes, from shortboards to longboards. Stand up paddle, or SUP, is all about paddling standing up, whether you're on the sea or a lake, enjoying family time or a fitness session. The surfskate perfectly mimics the feel of surfing on asphalt, making it ideal for honing your turns when the ocean is flat. And with surf foil, you'll be flying above the water, even in the smallest waves.
