I am a beginner surfer and have been looking for a wetsuit and a board for a while. I've been to most surf shops on the island and I always end up coming back to Farias in Ship Bottom. In terms of wetsuits they had the largest brand selection and size selection on the island and had very reasonable prices for the name brands. I ended up finding an xcel suit that fit me better than any others I could find. In terms of boards they only carry new boards and a small selection of used boards unlike other shops on the island that have a lot of used boards, but they are reasonably and I ended up getting a new torq board for cheaper then any used boards I could find at other shops. Brian helped me on multiple occasions, from trying on wetsuits to find the right board for me. He is extremely down to earth and knowledgeable about everything and has your best interests at heart.

This place is awesome and has everything you need to hit the surf from boards to bathing suits to coolers. It's serious quality stuff with all brand names and friendly staff. I have been coming to LBI for years and can't believe I haven't gone inside this place.

Always been my go-to for surf, sun, and clothing for the last 20 years. Always the most down to earth employees that truly want to see their customers happy. Whoever does their buying really gets the freshest threads.

Worst customer service. Accusatory. The owner, a bald gentleman with a superiority complex ran after my daughter who is handicapped for browsing. What a joke, don't purchase anything here. The locals say they order from China then slap a label and inflate the prices for $60 board that has a 15$ retail value at Walmart

Have been going to Farias surf shop for decades- tells you how old I am! Ha! Great selection of anytime of board (surf, skim, boogie, stand-up or skate). My three sons have all bought Beater boards (soft-top surf board) and used them until they became water logged (about 4 summers of constant use). The staff is amazing- Stacy & Brian are the best owners taking up what Vince & Michelle started. Two of the surf board specialists (Connor & Zach) helped me learn which boards are best for my son based upon their ages, skill and the waves. Couldn't ask for a better place based upon service, selection and prices.

Been coming to this chain of stores for years but how is it in this day and age employees/owners can still walk around an enclosed area without a mask?! If it weren't for people like this everything would be back to normal by now.

I went today with my son to get a wetsuit and the staff is always so helpful and knowledgeable (and patient -- if you ever took a teenager shopping for a wetsuit...). Not to mention the merchandise is always so well edited and displayed. Love that it's a family business with such strong LBI roots. Definitely need to stop on every visit.
