“I shopped here with the goal of finding something comfortable to wear standing a lot of the day at work. Owen helped me pick out a good brand and line of shoes (Hoka Bondi)
We decided on a different size than they had in stock in the color I needed for the dress code, and he ordered it for me. They turned out to be perfect, thanks for the help!”
“Ease and security of purchase, adequate and detailed description of the products, optimal and immediate customer service. I appreciate your service in allowing me to purchase excellent quality accessories online for use in my country, Ecuador. I suggest that you include the weight when packaged in the detail of each product (Very practical for those of us who require shipping outside the US)”
“knowledgeable staff. If something is not in stock, they'll find a way to get it to you. Tom helped me build up my latest kayak. Don't hesitate to ask for help with these guys.”
“Great and informative staff. In my short time I was there I learned a lot about California laws and had some great laughs listening to the conversations. Will be going back when I need my next piece”
“Happened to walk into this place after taking my wife to Hotlix. One of her childhood vacation, happy memory spots.
Wow, being a older skater, I was blown away by thier old collection. Hundreds of deck. Completes at that. Great new board selection and tons of good remakes too.
I ended up getting a board gripped and had good convo with one of the workers, who was dope and had info about store history.
Great place check it out.
Oh yeah they had mad surf gear too...lol.”
“Great surf shop. Awesome selection of skate and board merch. Cool t shirts and hats. Very good place for anything you need. Souvenirs like beachwear and hoodies. Great staff and ambiance. Love this place.”

“It so is great that we have California Waterman (known for many years as California Kiteboarding) with its hometown feel, to provides such great service to us watersport folks. Thank you, Jason!”
“Needed some shirts with lettering for an event in So Cal. Went in to the shop and they were really helpful. Picked them up today and they look fantastic. It's sure nice to have a great experience at a local business!!”
“I gave 5 stars to this store because the employees were so helpful. There were shoes everywhere. You could tell they had just received a large shipment. They were working to stock shelves as fast as they could. But they stopped to assist customers . Very courteous, professional. Although they did not have my husbands size, I will be back. Lots of styles to choose from.”

“Anthony and the rest of Ocean Currents are top notch! My wife and I took two classes through SLO Ocean Currents and took a boat to Anacapa island out of Ventura on the Raptor Charter boat. I highly recommend using Ocean Currents for your dive shop as they carry high quality gear. As broke college student, we could afford both classes and repair for my JBL set up. I have also re certified scuba tanks here!”
“Love love Athleta. Everything is B Corp- so I trust that it is substantially made and with fair labor practices. I love the quality and that I can wash and dry everything without worries. Athleta has clothes for my everyday and my office job. Honestly it’s all I wear to work. This location also has the best staff who are so kind and friendly. Other than second hand- this is the only place I am comfortable buying clothes from.”
“Kinda sucks there is no retail location anymore but they are still making it happen! You just order online and pickup. Sean is the man. He walked me through everything and I got an awesome deal. They own online skate sales. You pick up in the tennis store. Super stoked. Rad”
“Great gun store! Definitely the best store in the area with some great and very knowledgeable staff especially the manager Austin. I buy most of, if not all of, my firearms from this store. It is the best gun store in this area!”
“The Sports Forum never disappoints! About a month ago I stopped in Pismo before heading home and per usual made a stop into The Sports Forum. It was pretty early on a Sunday and at the time they were one of the few shops that were open. I began talking to the employee and lo and behold the employee was the owner. I mentioned to her that since I was a kid my family would make annual trips to Pismo and we always came into her shop because it was "cool" and wasn't like anything we had in the Valley. This tradition has been going on for 39 years now. I mentioned to her that since having my own son (9y/o) he loves to go in and check out the merch. He had been looking for a Joe Montana jersey and during this particular visit and the one prior, the store was out of stock. The owner was nice enough to ask for my phone number and said when they got a new shipment she would let me know. Well, she held true to her word and contacted me about a week ago. We conversed via text and I asked for shipping details, price, etc and she was gracious enough to ship me the jersey and it arrived within a couple of days. The point of this post is that The Sports Forum is unlike any other sports memorabilia store you'll fined in or out of the area. The fact that the owner went out of her way to contact me and take the time to ship me the jersey speaks volumes of her and her business. I'd shop here or contact the Forum before going to a large chain store (i.e. LIDS) for their uniqueness, hospitality and prices. Thank you again and we hope to pop in soon!”
“Really good quality for the price. They also do neat collabs which makes for unique, limited designs. Fits are spot on. They're also always doing online sales.”

“I went into their store searching for the right pad and got help every step of the way to pick the right one for me. I worked with Roger and Jade and they told me pros and cons, about the different materials, asked me questions about riding frequency and type, and about my horse specifically. I so enjoyed their help and advice and would recommend anybody local to stop in! The options for customization are endless.”
“Super thoughtful and helpful staff/shop assistants! Everyone was extremely nice and took their time to check on sneakers and suggest one with what I was most likely to find comfortable. Hunter was especially helpful ♥️
Store is big and super well organized, lots of variety for men and women.”

“Adam from back east location in customer service was very helpful. I've been playing hockey since I was 7 and have played on a few state champion teams, and even played with the Road runners seminars league. Why did I bring that up? No not to brag about me.. but to brag about Adam. I wish I would have that type of customer service back then. I would have given a 5 stars...but they stopped walk in sales. Its important to be able to touch certain things. But it's California... not so big on hockey.”

“This was my first time going to this business and I must say that I was pleasantly surprised at the selection of stuff they have, especially shoes. I purchased a brand new pair of Skechers at a pretty good price and some really good Dickies socks. I will definitely be going back next payday to get some other stuff ?”
“Thank you Gail and team. You guys are the best! I’ve purchased around 7 rackets and highly recommend to friends and family and anyone needing a racket. My customer service experience was very good. Ty. Joe”
“My daughter and I went to this store a few days ago. She lives in San Luis Obispo. She must've tried on 20 different articles of clothing. Too long, too small, too big. The staff was always very helpful. One even chatted with me while I was waiting. Staff gave her good feedback on colors, length, etc. Ended up buying several items, great quality as always.”
“We went in on a Saturday to check out the treadmills. Looked around to find an associate as we had a few questions before making a decision. Graham happened to be walking up on his way to start his shift. We stopped him to ask our questions. He was very friendly and polite. He answered them in full. We let him know we were ready to make a purchase. He left to clock in and he came right back. Graham was friendly, thorough and patient. Definitely an asset to any company.”
