Shawn Rhodes and Greg Savin first met as rivals in neighborhood football games at the local schoolyard. Even though Greg clearly remembers his team was the victor more often than not, Shawn always seems to recall it differently. Later the two meet again around the age of 14 surfing. They have been the best of friends ever since.

Their love of surfing also lead them both to skateboarding and snowboarding.

In 1991, five years after graduating high school, Greg and Shawn started the venture of Nor Cal Surf Shop. The shop has seen consistent growth in size and brand recognition every year since, always prepared to take it to the next level. The Nor Cal brand is ever growing in popularity and if you drive through it's home town of Pacifica you will see countless Nor Cal T-shirts and hoodies worn by the locals.
