The Good

Customers overwhelmingly praise the staff for being exceptionally friendly, knowledgeable, helpful, and enthusiastic about water sports. Specific staff members like Frank, Nathan, and Logan are frequently mentioned for providing detailed advice, setup pointers (fins, racks), and going above and beyond, even assisting with equipment they didn't sell or accommodating special needs (like assisting a blind customer with kayaking). The shop is highly regarded as a local staple with a great, laid-back vibe, excellent selection of quality gear (surf, skate, apparel, kayaks), and fair pricing/sales. Many customers feel they receive personalized service superior to big box stores.

Things to Consider

A few isolated negative experiences were reported regarding rentals and pricing discrepancies. One customer reported renting kayaks with broken pieces and receiving a dismissive, unhelpful attitude when inquiring about a refund. Another customer noted finding the exact same boogie board for half the price immediately down the road and experienced an unwillingness to process a return shortly after purchase. One review mentioned a desire for the shop to stock wakeboards.
