our story

WHAT? SURF SHOP IN IDAHO? IF THIS MAKES NO SENSE TO YOU, THAT IS OK. SOMETIMES IT MAKES LITTLE SENSE TO US. JUST COME VISIT OUR LABYRINTH WORKSHOP.  IT'S WORTH THE VISIT AND MAYBE YOU WILL GET IT. NOT EVERYTHING HAS TO MAKE SENSE! WE EVEN HAVE A BAR AND FOOD-TRUCK ON SITE.  EVERYTHING IS OPEN APRIL-OCTOBER. THE SHOP REVERTS TO A WORKSHOP IN THE WINTER, BUT IS ALWAYS OPEN BY APPOINTMENT.

SHOP OWNER VICTOR MYERS LIVED OUT OF A BAG, KAYAK, VAN OR MOTORCYCLE MOST OF HIS ADULT LIFE. HE TRAVELED ALL OVER THE US AND THE WORLD LOOKING FOR ADVENTURE AND EXPERIENCES BUT HE ALWAYS WANTED A DEDICATED WORKSHOP.  IN ALL THE PLACES HE VISITED AND WORKED HE ALWAYS CONSIDERED IF HE COULD "LIVE" THERE. BOISE WAS THE PLACE THAT CHECKED ALL THE BOXES. NOT A FAN OF SCENES HE UNINTENTIONALLY HELPED CREATE A DIFFERENT ONE ENTIRELY. 

CORRIDOR STARTED AS AN EXPERIMENT IN BUILDING HIS OWN SURFBOARDS AND SUP'S THAT WERE A LITTLE DIFFERENT AND JUST WHAT HE WANTED. IT HAS BECOME THE BASECAMP FOR CREATING WHATEVER THE GUYS IN THE SHOP CAN DREAM UP.  AT ANY ONE TIME THERE ARE 4-5 ADVENTURE VEHICLES BEING BUILT, MOTORCYCLES, VANS, RV'S. COUNTLESS SURFBOARDS ARE ALWAY IN THE WORKS EITHER FOR THE RIVER WAVES ONE HUNDRED YARDS AWAY OR FOR TRIPS TO THE OCEAN CLOSEST TO HOME OR ACROSS THE GLOBE.

NO GARAGE OR WORKSHOP IS COMPLETE WITHOUT A PLACE TO DRINK BEERS AND TALK STORY. WE CREATED YARDARM AT THE SHOP TO GIVE EVERYONE A PLACE TO HANG OUT AND DO JUST THAT. 

WE RECYCLE OR REPURPOSE EVERYTHING. WE ARE CONSTANTLY TRYING TO LESSEN OUR FOOTPRINT. GREENER BOARD CONSTRUCTION, ONSITE PLASTIC RECYCLING,  TURNING PLASTIC BAGS INTO BOARD BAGS AND MAKING OUR OWN BIOFUEL FROM WASTE VEGGIE OIL. IT ALL HELPS SAVE WHAT WE CARE ABOUT MOST. 

​THERE IS ALWAYS FUN TO BE HAD HERE IN THE BUBBLE WE HAVE CREATED. EQUALLY IMPORTANT ARE THE PLANS AND EXPEDITIONS CHARTED OVER MAPS, WEATHER AND SATELLITE IMAGES FOR THE TIME WE CAN GET AWAY. 

CORRIDOR'S FUTURe                        ​    Adam Zerza

At sixteen Adam started showing up at the shop and asking to help and if he could build his own board. We did what we always do with relentless persistence. Rewarded it with the chance to do demoralizing physical labor. Nothing deterred this young man. Anything hands on or creative he was all enthusiasm. Fast forward seven years and he is managing the shop and production.  Adam grew up surfing in Boise. Having an engineering mind, he gravitated towards board building and the other projects going on in our shop. He spent his summers learning how to shape, glass, multitask and the off seasons getting his Bachelors in Product Design and Development Engineering. Now he manages the shop full time, and is getting vested in the business.
