Hotmer Côte d'Opale

Hotmer Côte d'Opale is the Hotmer surf shop in Calais, on rue Jean Chaptal. It presents itself as a stopping point for riders in the north, close to Côte d'Opale spots such as Wissant, Wimereux and Dunkirk.

Hotmer runs five surf shops, from Calais to Hyères (Lille, L'Almanarre, Côte d'Opale, Rennes and Dinard), plus an online store delivering in France with a 365-day return period. The team advises on equipment with the often strong wind and technical water conditions of the area in mind.

The store sells wing foil, windsurf (sails, boards) and kitesurf equipment, as well as freestyle scooters, paddle, surf and wetsuits, new and second-hand, with a maintenance and repair service (kite wings, windsurf boards, wetsuits, paddle). Brands highlighted by the chain include Starboard, SIC, Cabrinha, NeilPryde, Takuma, AFS, RRD and Aeryn.

The shop is open Tuesday to Friday 9:30 am to 1 pm and 3:30 pm to 7 pm, and Saturday 10 am to 7 pm; closed Sunday and Monday.
