“I've developed a significant arthritis issue with the MTP joint in my right big toe and need new footwear to lessen the pain. The many options at Fairhaven Runners were all high quality. The staff, especially Evelyn, were extremely patient and knowledgeable in helping me find an excellent choice. An extra bonus: it feels great supporting a local, high quality business.”
“Great local owned skate shop. Wide variety of decks, trucks, wheels, and just all-around skate paraphernalia. Very knowledgeable and always willing to help set up your new ride. Highly recommend.”
“I am from another state and called the place to ask about rentals. The employees here are very knowledgeable and kind. When it got closer to time to pick up the rentals, I realized weather was not permitting. I called the store to let them know I would not be picking up the rentals due to the weather. We got a full refund back. Even though I did not technically use this store, I highly recommend!”
“If you are thinking about purchasing an efoil make sure you buy it from someone who is going to take care of you when your shockingly expensive water toy stops working. My Lift efoil was so old they didn’t even have a record of the sale anymore but Phil still remembered me and replaced some very specialized electronics from spares he had in the back of the shop for FREE. He has been in the game from the beginning and has a good relationship with Lift. Buying from Phil is like purchasing an extended warranty.”
“We stopped in here from Canada, due to the good reviews. We were very pleased, the store had great pieces and very helpful attentive staff (on both days we visited). Left with some great finds and regripped clubs without a long wait at all. Will definitely be back!”
“The basement is a trap! I’ve never seen so many toys in my life! Unless you’re ready and willing to buy something for your babies, don’t go down there unless they’re extremely well-controlled lol. But in all seriousness, this place is amazing and are comfortable, especially when they have sales. The staff there is out of this world friendly in every way and they are so helpful. And if you get the opportunity, I would suggest that you go to one of their mini functions that they have throughout the year. They’re always giving away free stuff and always have the funniest activities for kids there.”
“Classic board shop! We found a great selection of snowboards at WWS as well as bindings, boots, and all the gear you need for snowboarding. They were even running a sale on top of competitive pre lives. You’ll also find knowledgeable and nice people there to help you out.”
“My go too online kite shop. Always been there for me. Years and years never failed. Mahalo Nui to all the Gang !!! keep up the good work and thanks for answering my (duh) questions .”

“I was really impressed with the quality of the gear I rented. In the past, I've paid way too much for out-dated, damaged products. AAI provided me with up to date equipment (which was awesome). One of the guys in the shop said they rented good products with the hope that customers would buy them, and I really appreciate that. I would definitely rent from them again :)”
“We have twice now been exceedingly impressed by this store.First in December 2023, we needed new turf boots and every store we checked was either sold out or only carried brand’s that do not fit my daughter’s narrow feet. Soccer City had a multiple options for her to choose from and incredibly helpful and friendly staff.This weekend the sole started to fall off the boot (fault of Nike, not the store). Due to long border lineups, by the time we got through the border, our anticipated arrival at the store was exactly when the store closed. We called the store and explained what we were looking for and that we were cutting it very close as to whether or not we would arrive in time.We ended up arriving a minute after close. The incredible gentleman at the store was waiting with options pulled for us. While I was rushing my child, he was incredibly patient, despite our late arrival and his right to close up and go home.I can’t say enough positive things about this store and their incredible staff. I have already recommended to many people and will continue to do so.”

“I was on the hunt for comfortable Nike runners, and the gentleman working here helped me find just the right pair! Super friendly people working here providing excellent customer service.”
“I don’t have an account so couldn’t take the survey about my associate. Sofie for the win! She helped me locate what I needed and helped me navigate if we needed to order something online. Super kind and courteous. Thanks for the help Sofie!”
“Found an awesome pair of Chuck Taylor's that are waterproof! Very comfortable and will be easy to keep clean. The staff was super friendly and helpful and made sure we were signed up with them to get perks. The shoes were reasonably priced, and the store was clean and organized to easily find the size and style I was looking for. They had a good selection of my normal footwear choices and had modern styles. Sorry, no photo, but I will post later.”
“Incredible customer service. I will absolutely be back with any gear I need for my daughter! They were so kind and inviting! Thank you Kate and I didn’t catch the guys name but you both were incredible❤️”

“We had a great experience today at REI, Bellingham. Kyle in the shoe department was friendly and very helpful. He helped us find exactly what we were looking for. The cashier, Max, was friendly and professional. Thank you REI!”
“Went there this afternoon to pick up a much needed haul of supplies for trout fishing; they had a great selection of gear with a large variety. The staff was very knowledgeable, friendly, and helpful.”
“I am grateful for a very helpful young woman named Becca who helped me while I was shopping for my grandson. This store is quite spacious, and I have mobility issues. It would have been very difficult for me to walk all around trying to find what he wanted. Becca was very kind and a huge help finding everything for me. Dick's is lucky to have such a caring employee in this day and age when customer service is hard to find.”
“The personal fitting was so helpful and the owner and staff are very knowledgable. I really appreciated the care and attention and tips for my first half marathon.”
