Walk to Jesse's - Jesse's surf shop is still in Samara. It is just a bit down the beach now. They have a beautiful new gym and the instructors are still great! They are definitely worth the walk! Plus they don't make you feel uncomfortable like the C and C "dudes".

Correct to Jesse's - I visited Samara at the end of July and talked to Jimi the owner of Jesse's who is awesome. They were beginning the process of moving the shop, not closing. You should be able to find them on the Eastern side of the beach, past all the bars.
