About Primal Surf
Primal Surf has been part of the Brigantine island lifestyle since 2003. Founded by island locals Michael & Susan Laielli, the shop quickly became known for quality beachwear, expert surf gear fittings, and a true passion for coastal living.
Today, Angela Cocivera and Peter Dipalma proudly continue that tradition while bringing fresh energy to the Primal Surf community.
Whether you're surfing, stand-up paddling, exploring the beach, or simply embracing island life, Primal Surf is built around sharing the stoke that comes from a lifetime by the ocean.
