Since 1978, Fox Den Surf and Skate has been synonymous with skateboarding, surfing, and the lifestyle’s apparel and is the premier source for surf and skate clothing, gear and accessories. The locally owned and operated specialty retailer is conveniently located away from the area mall traffic at 540 El Dorado Blvd. (at Highway 3) in Webster.

“Fox Den carries select merchandise from highly respected name brands such as Billabong, RVCA, Quiksilver, O’Neill, Tom’s shoes, Volcom, New Stance socks, Vans, Sanuk sandals and Reef just to name a few,” said owner Stephen Meraz. “We have everything from sunglasses, sandals, swimsuits and board shorts to surf boards, skateboards, parts and more.”

Beginning Friday, March 8, Fox Den is offering multiple specials for Spring Break. Stock up on select Tom’s shoes at 35% off, select men’s and women’s Vans for 40% off, hats are 20% off, and 30% off on backpacks.

Skateboarders of all ages and experience levels will appreciate the store’s in-house pro-shop. Find parts like trucks, wheels and bearings. In fact, store manager Devin Teaff demonstrated his knowledge of the store’s vast inventory, and we were impressed!

Dressing for the lifestyle is easy within Fox Den’s relaxed shopping environment. The friendly staff will make your visit enjoyable.

Fox Den former owner Frank Morello served the Clear Lake area for 35 years and has recently passed the baton (or surf board as it would be) to new owners Stephen and Lauren Meraz. “We are ready to provide another 35 years of an endless summer experience," said Stephen.

Like their Facebook page to view special sales and photos of new inventory arrivals. They also post (on most days) a Galveston surf report. “And yes, Galveston does have surf!” Stephen said.
