On July 4th we were desperately looking for a paddle board rental and were getting discouraged and frustrated at not being able to find one close to Spring Lake or GH. Laura was so helpful and kind in getting us a rental, even when we came in flustered, with lots of questions. She went out of her way to hurry to a nearby drop off location since we didn't have a way of transporting it. She met us back at that location to pick it up and again was so kind, we appreciated her help, she made our day better! :)

Rented a board from this surf shop, and they were out of my size in wetsuits, the owner did me a solid and let me borrow his.Really kind gesture, you can tell their enthusiasm for people getting out there in the swell!

The surf shop is the perfect small business store. Whether you are in town for a week or a Grand Haven local, the surf shop has just about any beach apparel/toys/necessities you could imagine. The owners are a lovely local family who obviously pour their heart into the store, doing their best to make any and everyone feel comfortable and safe in the store. Super friendly staff, always willing to help! I have only ever had patient, inclusive, kind, and fun experiences in the shop! Definitely recommend stopping by!!

I love the surf shop! Staff is friendly, very welcoming, and extremely helpful. The owners are very sweet and run their business well. I always enjoy stopping in to the store and supporting a local, family owned business.

I worked retail in high school & college. I understand theft and the reality of shrinkage on a businesses profitability. What I don't understand is a black family of 5 walk in your shop on vacation and your employees go into high alert panic, assuming swarm formation. The employees never said hi or can I help you find. I felt extremely uncomfortable and was glad nobody wanted to linger or buy anything. Loss prevention is a reality, but extreme or targeted loss prevention scares customers away. We went to Barefoot Dave's place and we walked out with two bags full of stuff. He has a real welcoming vibe and his doggies are cute!!

I stop here every time I’m in GH. This store something for everyone. Whether you’re shopping for clothes, renting or buying surf gear, or just forgot something on a beach day. Owners very nice and conversational and will tell you everything you need to know! The store itself is very organized and has an aesthetic vibe. Also have great deals sometimes that they post on their instagram

The owner named Chris Girard, ( I know this because he blurted out his name and home address, challenging one of his customers to come to his home). He followed this man down the street and yelled all kinds of obscenity’s at him and the people in his group this evening, 6/26/2022. Apparently for sitting in his chairs for 5 minutes outside of his store, which I guess he didn’t like. By looking at his other reviews, it looks like he is showing his true colors. Best advice, stay away from this store. It’s so upsetting knowing that my town has business owners such as him.

Horrible place owner was a witch with a capital B did a spur of the moment trip decided to grab some swim apparel stopped in the surf shop (only place we could find) Everything overpriced and the owner a horrible person to customers and employees would never recommendResponse to ownerThank you. After the bad experience with you and your store I did have an amazing day with the family very well deserved. The following weekend we were even lucky enough to be in Ludington and found an amazing skate shop called Gordys the owners were wonderful the employees wonderful got a few boards and some clothing very well priced very amazing people I would highly recommend them and will definitely be going back

Surf Shop is my very favorite place to shop in Grand Haven! They have a fantastic selection of on-trend clothing - I always find a few unique pieces when I visit. In addition to clothing and bathing suits, they carry surf boards to purchase (and rent if you're visiting!), sandals, beach gear, unique gifts- and we've even bought skateboards from them!The staff is WONDERFUL! Everyone is very knowledgeable and kind. It's a local family-owned business.We love the Surf Shop and their passion for creating a beautiful store and atmosphere for all to enjoy.

This place sells no surf boards, or anything of the like. Total tourist trap. They should sell shirts that read "Poser Palace".
