The Good
Customers overwhelmingly praise the surf camp, noting that instructors (like Chance, Tom, Henry, and Jacob) are knowledgeable, patient, passionate, and excellent at teaching kids to stand up and surf quickly. Staff across the board are frequently described as friendly, helpful, knowledgeable, and going above and beyond (e.g., helping secure boards, ordering specific items). The shop offers a great selection of quality products, apparel, and used boards, and many families consider the camp an annual must-do tradition.
Things to Consider
A few isolated incidents of poor customer service were reported, including employees hovering uncomfortably during shopping trips, one instance of an employee aggressively pushing an inappropriate used board onto a beginner while mocking them later, and another report of employees making rude comments about customers. Additionally, one reviewer noted that board shorts were expensive, and another experienced an employee who was unhelpful and silent during a transaction, leading to a decision not to return. One group reported staff potentially closing early despite the posted hours.
