About Rip Curl - Trestles (outlet)

Rip Curl - Trestles Outlet in San Clemente, CA, offers a wide array of surf essentials, clothing, and accessories at significant markdown prices. Customers frequently praise the excellent deals, deep discounts, and the generally helpful nature of the staff when assisting with sizing and inventory location. This location is ideal for budget-conscious surfers and families looking to stock up on quality gear and apparel during sales events.

The Good

Customers consistently praise the outlet for its excellent deals, significant discounts (often 50% off or more), and great prices on surf essentials, including wetsuits, board shorts, and swimwear. The staff is frequently described as super helpful, friendly, knowledgeable, and kind, with specific shout-outs to employees like Luka and Josh. The store is noted for being clean, organized, and having a wide selection of discounted, overstock, and last-year's styles.

Things to Consider

The most significant recurring complaint is the complete lack of customer restrooms/bathrooms, forcing patrons to use nearby businesses. Several reviews cite unprofessional behavior from young employees, including excessive swearing in front of families and general laziness or rudeness. Other issues include limited selection in popular sizes, items being mis-marked, poor quality control (e.g., finding pinholes in new wetsuits), and strict policies regarding trying on clothes in-store or difficulty with returns/exchanges (often only store credit offered). Some customers also experienced confusion regarding closing times not being accurately posted online.
