Custom Merch for Skate and Surf Shops in Miami, FL
Merch Mob makes house-brand tees, hoodies and crewnecks, and hats and beanies for skate and surf shops in Miami, FL, at its shop in Montclair, CA, and ships them to Miami. Miami skews adult, with 17% of residents under 18 against 22% nationally (Census ACS, 2020-2024), so put the size depth in adult medium to extra large and keep youth sizes few.

What Miami's weather means for skate and surf shops
Heat and frequent rain, about 67 inches a year, mean sweaty and sometimes wet sessions, so a quick-dry tee or tank and a trucker cap make more sense for summer than heavyweight cotton. Winter barely shows: even January averages a high of 76°F, so fleece is a gift and souvenir item, and tees, tanks and caps stay at the front all year. Tees have no off-season here: restock the house tee and caps on a steady schedule and let new colorways, not seasons, bring regulars back. June is the wettest month, with about 11 inches of rain, so sessions get washed out and a release party or contest is better dated for a drier month.
