The Good

Customers consistently praise the friendly, kind, and attentive staff (mentioning Jeff, Peter, and Fred specifically). Service is often described as quick, top-notch, and helpful, with efficient setup for rentals. Equipment (kayaks, sailboats) is generally reported to be in great condition. The convenience of drop-off/pickup service and reasonable pricing for rentals (especially kayaks) are highlighted as major benefits.

Things to Consider

One reviewer strongly advised against using the shop for actual surfing needs, citing a lack of local surf information and poorly maintained/beat-up rental boards, calling them overpriced. Another customer reported experiencing rude behavior and terrible customer service from one individual. A minor operational issue noted was a 'loose interpretation of working hours' during the shoulder season, suggesting customers should call ahead to confirm availability.
