About Watersports West

Watersports West in Largo, FL, offers an extensive inventory covering nearly every watersport, from kayaks and paddleboards to general beach gear. Customers consistently praise the exceptionally friendly staff and knowledgeable service, frequently highlighting the willingness of employees to offer demos, custom fittings, and stand behind their products. This shop is ideal for both new adventurers seeking patient guidance and experienced enthusiasts looking for quality gear and reliable repairs.

The Good

Customers overwhelmingly praise the super friendly, knowledgeable, and patient staff, frequently mentioning Steve, Lane, and the owners (Bruce and Sue). The shop is noted for having an extensive selection of equipment for all water sports, often at the best prices in town. Positive experiences include excellent product demonstrations (paddle boards, kayaks), helpful custom fitting, easy installation services (roof racks), willingness to stand behind products, and generous customer treatment like free wax or allowing product testing before purchase. Many reviewers state they will only purchase water sports equipment here and highly recommend the local, family-run business.

Things to Consider

One reviewer expressed disappointment upon entering, noting that despite the large inventory, they felt ignored by staff while browsing, especially in the souvenir/apparel section, suggesting inconsistent customer engagement for non-obvious buyers. Another comment mentioned being surprised by the amount of souvenir-type merchandise, which felt more like a tourist shop than a dedicated local gear supplier, though this was immediately followed by praise for the sales staff when a purchase was being made.
