Who We Are
More than a shop. It's a way of life.
Billy "Bongo" Yoder started this shop in Tennessee in 1987 — a life built on adventure, adrenaline, and the pure rush of riding. He chased the coast and never looked back. Today, from our beachside home, Bongo and the crew build custom boards for riders who want something as unique as their style, and stock the gear to keep you safe and stoked. Rooted in faith, every sale gives back — we donate boards, helmets, and safety gear to those who need it most, because we believe every rider deserves a chance to ride.

The Bongo's Community
Every rider has a story. This is where yours starts.
From first-timers finding their footing to seasoned riders pushing limits — Bongo's is the spot where everyone belongs. Come as you are. Leave stoked.
Faith in Action
Every Sale Gives Back
Bongo's is more than a surf and skate shop — it's a ministry. Rooted in a loyalty to Jesus Christ and a calling to spread the Gospel, every purchase you make helps us donate boards, helmets, and safety equipment to less fortunate individuals in our community. We ride for something bigger.
