October 6th, 1962 Val Surf opened its doors on the northwest corner of Riverside & Whitsett in North Hollywood, (it later moved to the northeast side), becoming the oldest family-owned and still-operated surf/skate/snowboard shop in the world. A little over a decade later, Val Surf opened its second location in Woodland Hills, and continued thereafter to expand 3 more locations into Thousand Oaks, Valencia, and Pasadena.
