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.

@sic_semper_tyrannis @openstreetmap
There is also shop=sports, which would probably allow multiple sports tags.
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:shop%3Dsports

For the sports tag it looks like it would be sport=surfing;skateboard.
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:sport

In theory that would be searchable for people looking for either (in practice I don't know if any apps support this).

Exactly, but please use the sport values like skateboard (not skate, not skateboarding) as they are already established for sport=*. (See https://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/keys/sport#values)

Maybe its even worth to use

sports:surfing=yes

sports:skateboard=yes

So then its more likely that we establish commonly used Tags in the sport shops and amenities.

@redd Oops, transcription error when flipping tabs there. I'll edit to fix.
