About Us

The Slab Lab is a destination surf, bodyboard and skate store located in Warrnambool, Vic, Australia. We are Warrnambool’s only surf cafe, now serving hot brews, cold drinks and snacks with cafe style seating available where you can sit and enjoy a coffee, watch surf clips streaming on the big screen, chat and shop all in one place!

We weren’t lying when we said we would create a destination experience where board riding is celebrated, and community comes together. We are a family owned and operated core store with the aim of bringing back the traditional surf shop experience.

We stock new and used surfboards, bodyboards, skateboards, wetsuits, flippers, fins, surf and bodyboard hardware, towels, clothing, wax, resin, and more!

We serve quality AMANTI coffee, teas, chai, Cadbury Hot Choccie, a varity of cold drinks and sweet treats, dine in or takeaway.
