Been here a few times. Helps if they cared enough to post business hours somewhere, ANYWHERE!!
I'll take the added time to go to Rip City in Santa Monica before trying this place again

Been coming to the island for decades. I'm an old school skater and do my best to support local shops. I hhave only found this place open once. This place is hardly ever open and posts no hours. If they cared, I would. They don't, so neither do I.

This place sells neat clothing, and it's nice to have a board shop on the island. My frustration with this business stems from the employees' laziness. I came in two days ago, asked about a board. They were out. I said I was interested in acquiring a board ASAP, they said come in later when their inventory arrives. I literally walked up to the people who deliver shipments to businesses after they're flown to the island. I asked if they were going to deliver to CSC that day. They said they were on the way after stopping at Vons. Couple hours later, I stop at the shop and the shipment is sitting right next to the employee at the register. They said come back later, they had to unpack all the stuff. I say okay, expecting to have the board later that day. Come in later that day. It's 4:50pm. There's a note on the door saying "on break, back at 5". I already knew the employee was lazy and wouldn't be back on time, so I come back at 5:15. I arrive seconds before them, while they're pulling the keys to the business out of their pocket. Boxes still sitting there. They say come back tomorrow. Okay... Next day, I come back several times desperate to buy a board, every single time the same boxes are sitting on the floor. Ended that day empty handed. It's currently 2:50pm the next day. I've dropped in twice already today. Same thing. They KNEW I was willing to drop $200 on board parts, why would you not just take out components to a board and sell them to me? I've given up. I just wanted to ride, dude. Come on... Any skateboarders know what it's like when you get that itch and just need to ride. Someone who runs a boardshop should definitely get it. Anyone with business sense would get it. This place kept playing with me, acting like they were actually going to do what a business does. I felt like I was in some sort of absurd time loop. I am severely disappointed. I may just buy someone's board off of them. I'm sure it's not a bad business but this was a horrible experience. I mean, lazy is one thing. Three days to open a few boxes and scan some barcodes though? That's a whole new level.

Stopped here to ask about a restroom tbh and was pleasantly surprised by all the gear available. Picked up 3 Brixton shirts on sale and the manager was dope. We talked about the local skateboarding competition tradition and got into music as well. Super down vibes and came up on amazing clothes. It was a nice way to end the day trip and id come back for their curated items any day im in Avalon again.

This shop is probably the "coolest" place to shop for clothes on the island. Most of the shops here carry the same touristy stuff that says "Catalina Island" all over it, but this shop sells brands like Billabong and RVCA, which have great beachwear and streetwear, but with a modern twist. So, if you are like me and were fooled by the reported temperatures for the weekend being in the 50-60s so I therefore didn't pack tank tops or shorts, and then the sun just makes it feel like 80- go here for cool, non-touristy sportswear.

Choose their own hours and would not give me a solid close time when I called. Was told that they close when they get slow which is not helpful at all to their customers.
