About Exile Skimboards
Exile Skimboards in San Clemente, CA, offers what many consider the world's best, most durable, and highest-performing skimboards, often ridden by professionals. Customers consistently praise the genuine, respectful, and patient staff, especially Hank, who excels at resolving issues and customizing gear. This shop is ideal for dedicated skimboarders seeking top-tier, USA-made equipment backed by exceptional customer commitment.
The Good
Customers overwhelmingly praise the high quality, durability, and performance of Exile skimboards, often calling them the 'best in the industry' and noting that professionals exclusively ride them. Exceptional customer service is a recurring theme, with specific shoutouts to Hank and Ryan for being genuine, patient, responsive, and going above and beyond to resolve issues, including replacing damaged boards with upgrades free of charge. The staff is frequently described as friendly, helpful, and excellent at educating customers on product selection.
Things to Consider
The most significant recurring complaint involves unreliable store hours; multiple customers reported driving significant distances only to find the shop unexpectedly closed despite posted hours (on the door or online). One review mentioned receiving a board that was supposed to have a custom design but arrived plain. A single, severe negative review cited the company refusing to replace or refund a structurally damaged board, though this contradicts several other positive resolution experiences.
