Opened April 22, 2017 as the satellite location of Bird Huffman's flagship Bird's Surf Shed on W Morena Blvd, The Shed OB operates from a remodeled 2,000-square-foot storefront at 1963 Abbott St with a corrugated metal exterior and a roll-up door for open-air browsing. The shop serves surf camps and week-long programs run by operators like Surf Camp San Diego — soft-top rentals at $15 per hour or $35 per full session over two hours are standard stock, with hard-board rentals running $20 per hour up to $200 for a half-week (3 days). Bird Huffman spent 56 of his 60 years surfing and learned board shapes from icons like Skip Frye, so the shop's rare-board inventory draws collectors and historians — some of the rarest boards in his private collection sit on display at the OB location alongside the production stock. Overnight wetsuit rentals ($85 hardboard / $45 softboard full day) pair well with beach-adjacent lodging like Ebb Tide Motel, where guests can walk the three blocks down to the sand without hauling gear back and forth. The stock stays intentionally curated — no 50-brand walls, just the best gear Bird himself vouches for. The highest-value workflow is a multi-day group rental for visiting surf teams and camps — 10-to-20-board bundles with matched wetsuit sizing, leash packages, and wax kits reserved days in advance and staged for morning pickup from the Abbott St storefront.
