About Rip Curl - San Clemente

Rip Curl in San Clemente offers a wide selection of gear, apparel, and high-quality surf equipment right near the iconic break. Customers consistently praise the staff for being exceptionally knowledgeable, patient, and going above and beyond to ensure satisfaction with purchases ranging from boards to booties. This location is ideal for dedicated surfers seeking expert guidance on technical gear and premium, durable apparel.

The Good

Customers overwhelmingly praise the staff for being exceptionally helpful, knowledgeable, patient, and friendly, frequently naming specific employees (Matt, James, Yonic, Ryan, Yannick, Matthew, Joao) who provided outstanding service, especially regarding board purchasing, wetsuit fitting, and technical explanations. The selection of high-quality items, particularly board shorts and surf equipment, is highly rated, and the newly remodeled shop environment is considered beautiful.

Things to Consider

Complaints include the high expense of some items, noting that while quality justifies some cost, prices are generally high. There are mentions of limited sizes due to the outlet nature of some stock, and specific negative experiences regarding customer service (one employee initially refused to help with a damaged watch). A few long-time customers expressed disappointment post-remodel, stating the shop no longer carries what they need, and one review advised against buying wetsuits due to perceived poor durability and lack of repair support.
