Quiksilver’s Boardrider Club store at Abbot Kinney and Venice Boulevards in Venice, California got the entire storefront painted sometime during the night on Saturday, November 12, 2011, according to a post on Yo! Venice.
On Saturday vandals “hose” painted “GO HOME” across the entire storefront, getting paint all over the newly conditioned brick, metal and glass.
The store had only been officially open for 24 hours. It would appear that some of the locals aren’t exactly down with the publicly traded surf clothing company putting a store in their neighborhood.

It wasn’t me! Actually I’m surprised anyone cares enough anymore. When we openned in the neighborhood 24 years ago we had our windows broken 7 times by the locals…and death threats! Actually wasn’t it Strider that helped smash our windows back in the day? Hmmm.
Not only the big guys that are having trouble in Venice. Venice Originals skateshop was burglarized this week, too.
