About Iceland
Iceland is a refreshingly unconventional travel destination. The Icelandic nature is unspoilt, exotic and mystical with its spouting geysers, active volcanoes, tumbling waterfalls, towering mountains, vast lava plains and magical lakes. Iceland’s fjords, glaciers and highland plains present visitors with some of the most beautiful and enchanting places they will ever see, as well as a rare feeling of utter tranquillity.

For travelers on a quest for action, Iceland’s pristine nature offers great potential for outdoor activities such as snowmobiling, horse riding, cave exploring, hiking, swimming, skiing, river rafting, kayaking and mountain safaris on modified four-wheel drives, to name but a few. Iceland supports a surprisingly diverse Nordic flora and fauna and is an ideal place for ornithology enthusiasts, while also offering some of the world’s best whale watching destinations.

About Reykjavik
Reykjavík sometimes feels like a cosmopolitan capital and a tiny seaside village - all wrapped up in one. But Reykjavík has the best of both worlds; the qualities of a modern, forward-looking society complemented by a close connection to Iceland‚s beautiful and unspoilt nature.

Reykjavík’s legendary nightlife is bolstered by plentiful cultural and social happenings in addition to an abundance of first-class restaurants. The size of Reykjavik city centre is also limited enough to allow for easy navigation by foot. Reykjavík has been described as a young and daring city that is characterized by strong contrasts. Conveniently small, clean and safe, it is more or less free from the major problems that haunt many other capitals. Big city events are frequent, the winter lights festival finished recently with thousands of participants and more tourist at this time of the year than we are used to.

Surf, board and skate in style.

The skate and streetwear styles are popular the world over, and are steadily and incessantly gaining popularity. As the name af this store, which is Icelandic for surf, conveys – these stores are dedicated to everything having to do with surfing, snowboarding or skateboarding. The fact that the stores are riders’ owned and independent means that the service and advice you will get comes from a personnel who shares your passion.

There are two stores to be found in Reykjavík, one on the main shopping street Laugavegur, and another at Kringlan. Whichever you choose to visit, they are absolutely the place to go for all admirers and followers of the surf/skate lifestyle and fashion – or parents on the lookout for a perfect gift to bring home to a skater teenager.

The only real skate and streetwear store in Reykjavík truly is full to the brim of cool, new fashions. The store stocks up to 25 labels in its surprisingly big premises, including the world renowned Billabong, Element, Nfa, Option and Adio. It also has the Icelandic label Nikita, which started out as an effort by a local skating and surfing girl. Nikita, a clothing line for “girls who ride”, has expanded due to demand, and is now sold in 30 countries the world over.

Brim is a paradise for all riders, and the bliss is just heightened by the low prices. With prices about 30-40% lower than in nearby Scandinavia, Brim is a store for teenagers of all ages.
