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.

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.
