Jennifer was so helpful when trying to find my dream board! She was so friendly and made the entire experience of getting my surf board so much fun. So amazing and answered all the questions I had.

Best shop in VB. I’ve bought a lot of WRV surfboards over the years. Staff are cool and helpful. I also appreciate they carry boogie gear too.

Wow. What a huge store! I've stopped by a few times to browse the sales and peak my head inside - everyone is familiar with this huge building What I didn't realize until last weekend - is just how huge this building and store really is - it's gigantic! Tons and tons of ladies and men's clothing and accessories. Not just swim and wetsuits in here - they have full-on clothing and jewelry and shoes and sunglasses and multiple areas with clothes and sales for both ladies and men inside. Additionally, they have all the swim items and water sport things you could ever need. I know they have summer camp and other water sport options as well though we have yet to try any. Staff are always super friendly and helpful and they always have items on sale outside as they turn over merchandise.

The staff at this store is incredibly friendly and welcoming. As a beginner, I felt comfortable asking what might have seemed like basic questions, but they were patient and genuinely helpful in guiding me to find what I needed.

I’ve been a customer of WRV for 30 years and watched them grow from a small local shop to a big company. I even was a loyal customer at the Waikiki location while living in the 808. You can’t beat their surf gear selection in VB, and as much as it’s become touristy, these folks in the board room are still the best at board and wetsuit inventory. The other shops are just glorified tourist traps here now, so don’t even bother. It’s always a pleasure to go to the shop and talk story a bit too. Mahalo to everyone there and see you soon!

Wave Riding Vehicles has been around for a long t while now, and withstood the test of time. Plenty of ?surfing??♂️ related material. Also, skate and snowboard equipment as well. The live cam is a nice touch, and so are some of the great aesthetics of the shop. Full service for surf issues, and also a great tourist shop to get a little insight into surfing culture & great swag and memorabilia to purchase.

My 7yo niece Sophia just finished a week of their 2023 surf camp (week 3) and I am so happy I picked WRV for her to have this experience. All of the instructors and counselors were so nice and attentive. Brendon was great!! My niece learned so much on her first time that she now wants to continue learning to surf and take private lessons to work more on being able to stay standing to fully ride out waves. I’m just so thoroughly impressed by everything that I have already shared on my own social media that this is the place to come to for all of their needs and especially a surf camp. Thank y’all so much for the absolute amazing time this week :)

I ordered a wetsuit online. I was suppose to receive shipping info within 2-3 days but never got anything. A week went by and I reached out. No response after multiple emails. Worst experience I’ve ever had with a business and customer service.

Bought a pair of sunglasses and was told I had thirty days to return with receipt. I was shopping with three little ones so I tried the glasses on quickly. They told me if I got home and didn’t like I could return. Went on vaca and realized the sunglasses were clearly used. They had lost the brand emblems from both sides. Stretched out ( falling off my head) and scratched on sides. Returned from vacation and tried to return today with the receipt and was told they could do nothing because the emblems were gone!!! Like I ripped those off myself in twoWeeks. Hard to shop localWith customer service like that. No thank you.

The staff at WRV is super awesome and they are totally family friendly. They are all really helpful and have a ton of resources available in the event you need something they don’t offer. Really cool place and great people.
