I'm adding a business that is primarily for surfing and also has some skateboard accessories. Can I use multiple tags to designate this?

"shop=surf;skate"

Would that work? On the OSM wiki it says under cuisine you can use multiple tags but I don't see anything saying if it's proper to do that with a key for shop.

I tend to avoid stacking primary tags, like shop. I would use shop=sports combined with sports=surf;skate.

The Wiki documents shop=sports + sports=…;…

This makes sense, as in: “here is a sports shop which has articles for 2 types of sports.”
