History

Established in 2006.

Nekton Surf Shop opened in 2006 by famous Pro Surfer Cory Lopez who grew up here in our beach town of Indian Rocks Beach. Nekton means any free swimming creature in a body of water. We have continued to grow our selection to provide you with the items you need for a beach lifestyle and keeping you in the latest fashions and your favorite essentials. Cory is sponsored by Lost surfboards, O’Neill Clothing, Anarchy Sunglasses, Freestyle Watches, and OAM Traction Pads so we will always have a large selection of his favorite items and specially designed pieces.

Meet the Business Owner

Cory L.

Business Owner

Cory Lopez is a prodigious goofy-​footer (right foot forward) known for his fearless tube riding at venues like Teahupoo and Pipeline, as well as his innovative, high-​flying aerials above the wave. Cory’s major wins include: three-​time X Games Gold Medalist; U.S. Open of Surfing Champion; Billabong Pro Tahiti Champion; Globe SI Pro Champion; Gold & (2x) Silver Medalist at the Olympic (IOC) recognized ISA World Championships (Costa Rica & China) and numerous top finishes around the world. With the inspiration of their dedicated, surfing father (Pete Lopez), Cory recalls; «We learned how to surf before we can even remember. We were two-​years-​old and standing on boards…» As the boys matured, there was more than «one occasion» when their dad would «get them out of school» to go surf a building «Hurricane Swell.» When not chasing contest points or extreme barrels, he can be found at his Florida home with wife Jenn and three children, Alana, Luke, and Leila.
