Bought a Chris ruddy board here, a few wet suits and some other accessories. The gentleman who helped me with the board was very helpful. I asked a lot of beginner surfing questions and each question was answered with sincerity.

We are not surfers but just some out of towner tourists shopping and our whole family loved their selection of clothes and other beach/surf themed clothes and accessories. People working there were super friendly and it just had a nice feel with the people there.
