About Maverick Board Riding Company

Maverick Board Riding Company in Pensacola Beach offers surf lessons, rentals for boards and bikes, and a curated selection of unique beach and skate gear. Customers consistently praise the patient, knowledgeable instructors like Brian and Jancy, along with the friendly staff and accommodating service for rentals and scheduling. This shop is ideal for both new surfers seeking thorough instruction and visitors looking for quality gear and distinctive souvenirs.

The Good

Customers consistently praise the instructors, especially Brian and Jancy/Yancy, for being patient, knowledgeable, and providing personalized attention, often going above and beyond (e.g., teaching wave reading, offering paddle boarding/snorkeling when surf was flat). The shop itself is highly regarded for its unique, stylish, and locally made merchandise, clothing, and souvenirs. Staff across the board (including Bryan, Eli, Liam, Misty, Robbie, and Ali) are frequently described as friendly, courteous, knowledgeable, and highly accommodating regarding scheduling and rentals, often providing superior customer service and helpful tips.

Things to Consider

One customer reported a negative experience with an associate who rudely rushed them out of the store just after they made a purchase, stating they wanted to leave early to see the Blue Angels. Another review noted that the rental leashes were deteriorated and snapped easily, posing a safety risk, especially in rougher conditions. One isolated incident mentioned a shop next door closing 15 minutes early without acknowledgement, though this review is less directly about Maverick Board Riding Company itself.
