Icy Waves Surf Shop is located in the small village of Yakutat Alaska. We are a family based surf shop where we cater to the local folks and the occasional adventure seeker who want to ride the waves of the Far North Pacific.
Icy Waves is moving!
Note: Icy Waves clothing and merchandise is now available for sale at the Yakutat Lodge at the airport.
After 22 years Jack and Laura have passed the surfboard of Icy Waves to their son and his wife, Nate and Melissa Endicott!
Icy Waves will be closed until the new location is constructed. Please check back soon for updates, as we are developing a plan to accommodate limited sales and rentals in the interim.

Surf Shop
Icy Waves was started in 1999 by Jack and Laura Endicott to outfit their seven children and the small handful of local Yakutat surfers. CBS News caught wind of our shop and did a short story that propelled Yakutat into a surfing destination. We now have surfers from all over the world stop in and enjoy our good waves and beautiful land.
There are now about 20 to 30 local surfers that frequent our shop and are excited to have other surfers come in and share the waves. We have many breaks here and it can get lonely out there if you have to surf by yourself. Because we are so isolated we have never had any problems with over crowding and if you come to visit you shouldn’t have too much of a problem to find someone local to show you the good spots.
Outside magazine Named Yakutat, a town of 680 people northwest of Juneau, as “One of the five best surf towns in America” in their June issue.
Newsweek Labeled Yakutat “Alaska's surfing hub” in an article headlined: "Travel: Surfing With Sea Otters."
National Geographic Adventure Just rated Yakutat number 39 out of 100 in it’s Adventure Countdown; “we confidently declare these to be America’s Best Adventures”.
