The Spongercity Store: Bigger, Better, Faster, Stronger

Although we are a bodyboarding media website (we’ve been on the beautiful world wide web since 2004 of something…) specialized in delivering fresh news, reviews, tests and interviews we felt that there was one last thing we should offer: cool accessories for bodyboarders! We’ve recently added heaps of products to the Spongercity Store, tons of cool little accessories that are useful for bodyboarders such as suncreen, leashes, anti-rash gel, spongerez and tons of other stuff. Check it out by yourself. We’re even selling DVDs and travel guides now!

We ship worldwide, accept all credit cards and also paypal.
We’re available everyday by email if you have any questions.
We speak english, on parle français, y hablamos espanol tambien!
We ship all orders on the same day the order is placed or the day after and everything we offer on the shop is in stock.
The stock is updated after each order and we always know what’s in stock. We don’t sell products we don’t have in stock.
All prices are in Euros but you can pay with any currency it doesn’t matter.

We hope you’ll like the design and the simplicity of the store, everything we sell is on the main page, you can’t get lost ! We’ve tried to find some cool products / hard to find stuff and we hope you’ll be stoked on the choice!
