The Good

Customers consistently praise the friendly and excellent customer service provided by the staff. The shop is noted for having a wide and unique selection of high-quality gear, including apparel (Volcom, Patagonia), skateboards, surfboards, and accessories, often featuring brands not found in other local stores. The atmosphere is also highlighted, including positive mentions of in-store events like a keg during a holiday weekend.

Things to Consider

One specific negative interaction involved a staff member (described as the 'shark watch lady') who was inattentive (on her phone) and engaged in inappropriate personal bragging to customers.
