About Surf Ride Boardshop

Surf Ride Boardshop in Oceanside, CA offers an immense inventory spanning surfboards, skate gear, shoes, and apparel. Customer feedback frequently praises the extensive selection and the generally friendly, knowledgeable staff who assist with everything from board advice to rentals. This large, one-stop shop is ideal for families and dedicated gear hunters seeking variety and competitive pricing across multiple action sports categories.

The Good

Customers frequently praise the immense inventory and huge selection across surfboards, skateboards, shoes, wetsuits, and apparel. The staff is often described as super friendly, laid back, helpful, knowledgeable, and attentive, with specific employees like Josh, Tyler, and JJ receiving positive mentions for going above and beyond. Positive experiences also include finding great deals (especially in the sale room), good pricing compared to other stores, excellent rental experiences (Awayco), and the shop's willingness to honor warranties and make things right for customers.

Things to Consider

Significant negative feedback centers on inconsistent and sometimes horrible customer service, including staff being dismissive, egotistical, or ignoring customers waiting at the register. There are complaints regarding strict return policies (even for slightly used, expensive items), lowball offers when buying used boards, and high prices on retail items. Other issues include perceived lack of adult supervision/professionalism, failure to enforce mask policies during relevant times, and one instance of a very high charge for a damaged rental board that didn't account for wear and tear.
