What Lubbock's weather means for skate and surf shops
With about 92 days a year at 90°F or hotter and July averaging a high of 93°F, sessions in Lubbock drift to early morning and after dark, and the rack leans on light tees, tanks and mesh-back caps. Winter has some bite: highs average under 65°F from November to February and January lows average 27°F, so a heavyweight hoodie and a cuffed beanie earn real rack space for those months. Summer heat and cold winter mornings sit far apart, so a long-sleeve tee or a light crewneck bridges spring and fall and keeps the rack from swinging between extremes. Lows reach 32°F or colder on about 84 nights a year, so a beanie by the register is an easy add-on sale from late fall on.

What should a skate or surf shop in Lubbock keep on the rack in winter?
A winter section: from November on, freezing nights are not rare, so give fleece and a few beanies a dedicated spot through the holidays, then trim back in spring.
