Customers consistently praise the knowledgeable, friendly staff and owner for providing excellent, down-to-earth service and great prices.

The Good

Customers overwhelmingly praise the staff, owner (Ted), and crew for being extremely friendly, knowledgeable, helpful, down-to-earth, and welcoming, often making customers feel like locals. The shop is noted for its great location, clean and organized layout, and excellent customer service, including providing great deals, free stickers, and helpful advice without sales pressure. The selection of new and used surfboards, skate gear, and apparel is highly rated, as are the reasonable and competitive prices for both purchases and rentals (especially the 24-hour soft-top rentals). Specific positive mentions include quick ding repair service and staff going above and beyond, such as delivering paddleboards to a location.

Things to Consider

One significant negative report detailed a customer arriving 20 minutes before the posted closing time (verified by both website and door hours) only to find the store already closed, leading to frustration for waiting customers, including families with children. No other recurring or specific complaints regarding service, pricing, or inventory were noted across the reviews.
