This shop is ideal for beginners needing buoyant rentals and experienced surfers seeking knowledgeable advice on finding the right used board for local conditions.

The Good

Customers consistently praise the extremely friendly, welcoming, and knowledgeable staff (mentioning Merritt, Drake, and Ruby specifically) who provide expert advice on board selection and are willing to go the extra mile to source items.

Things to Consider

A few significant negative experiences were reported, including one instance of an employee being rude, unhelpful, and providing misleading information regarding board suitability for beginners. Other complaints involved mediocre service where staff seemed unwilling to assist, a very negative rental experience described as feeling like being scammed, and issues with consignment—specifically, a board left for consignment was returned scratched and damaged after a year, with staff allegedly making light of the situation. One customer also reported being sold an incorrectly sized board bag and then having the return denied due to alleged damage.
