Super nice and welcoming vibe. Was so glad to see someone selling Rainbow sandals so I could get a fresh pair to last another 10-20 years.

Fantastic Surf Shop!! Great selection of hand shaped boards including some nice locally shaped boards and surf gear! This is the best place for lessons in the Newport area since it’s on the friendliest surf break. Nice knowledgeable staff - definitely worth a visit!
