They ALL got up on their first try even!!! The instructor was friendly, patient and highly encouraging; 2 of our boys were reluctant to give it a go at first but seeing their brother's success, joined in too. Highly recommend this for any beginners out there! So fun!

My sweet ride for the day, big thanks and shout out to Jonathan and Jen Epic Boardsports, these…read moreguys are full of knowledge, friendly and passionate about what they do! I'm on to a new adventure and learning to Wing Foil, I've spent the last two days out here and it's awesome. If you have a chance and are in the area, drop by and check them out. Great bunch of local people who love water sports. Cool vibe in the shop and plenty of gear for Winging or SUP, I was truly impressed with the layout, the stock, prices and the owners. You really can't go wrong here and my expectations were far exceeded! Head in and learn something new, take a SUP tour or lesson, get out and enjoy this great time of year!!

Lucas S (Puerto Rico): Quite an unfortunate experience with Epic Board Sports. Strongly recommend…read morethat this shop utilize insurance when sending to out of state customers. I ordered a wing on Mar 2, it was delivered to my condo complex on Mar 6 and the product was missing from inside. I pursued the issue with my mailroom as well as the local post office and both entities said to work with the company because the package should have been insured so that a claim could be submitted. Unfortunately the package was not insured. As a result I am out $800+. I tried working with Jonathan and Jennifer and neither of them acknowledged the issue but rather blamed my mailroom stating that it was signed for and as a result they washed their hands of the issue. The shop came highly recommended from my buddies at Patrick AFB and unfortunately their level of customer service was not up to par. This could have been prevented by applying insurance onto the package and allowing the USPS claim process to work itself out. I will not be ordering from this company again and will warn the Wing Foiling community here in Puerto Rico of the same. Lucas C.

I went into Core Surf relaxed and polite, wanting to learn more about the Savage boards they stock…read more I even brought one of my own boards to explain what I'm looking for. The guy I spoke with (tall, skinny dude) had that smartass vibe from the start. When I asked how a used Channel Islands Neckbeard (he wanted to sell me) compared to Happy Everyday, his answer was that there are now as many surfboards as marijuana strains. Funny line, but not helpful, and honestly a weird comparison since people actually choose specific strains for real reasons. Then came the rant about volume. He said it couldn't be measured, which was funny because these days every core guy or old-school surfer seems to have something personal against the word "volume". It's almost like volume broke their hearts, everyone's got a speech about it but no one gives a straight answer. Before leaving, I asked about deposits on boards, and after acting like they only want customers who can drop a thousand bucks on the spot, he admitted they might take 50%. At least that's something. Catalyst will be fine with $100 though. And that's the problem here. Shops like this complain that people don't support local surf shops or local shapers, but when you show up ready to spend money, this is the treatment you get. Then they act surprised when sales go to the bigger brands. If you want people to support local, you've got to give them a reason to.

Extremely RUDE and INCOMPETENT instructor - STAY AWAY!!…read more STAY AWAY FROM THIS SURF SCHOOL. Save your health and spend your time and money at a worthy surf school. There are plenty options out there at the coast. This school employs an instructor that risks your safety, aggressively speaks to you, offends you, blames you on his own mistakes, and slows down your progress! The instructor's impatience does not end with people. He regularly cuts down on important aspects of safety and lessons. He skips bringing the helmet which is used to protect your head as well as provide communication mic and speaker. He skips the practices of kite entry and exit to and from the water. Instead, he rushes out with your kite and board, mostly by riding it himself. He has clearly not been focusing on the lessons. Numerous times when I harshly fell off the surfboard he replied the request for guidance with "I was not watching". There were merely few times I went on the board, so where were you looking during these important times in an 1on1 lesson?!! The instructor risks you by riding off the jet ski to the shore and other spots while leaving you by yourself for lengthy intervals during 1on1 lessons. He uses your lesson time for surfing on his own instead of staying with you and using the jet ski to faster and more safely reach the surf spots. He further risks you, as well as others, by misusing and abusing the jet ski. At one time, he illegally did not take the life jackets. We were inspected by a police officer jet ski and nearly got a fine. He tends to surf away with the lesson kite leaving you far away on the jet ski. There are various hazards at this water area, including shallow sandbars where the jet ski gets stuck, lower speed channels, wooden poles sticking out, and crossing kite surfers to name few. But ethics are constantly overshadowed by his desire to ride your paid lesson's kite. The instructor is impatient to the level of shouting and cursing the client. This person clearly has problems with himself, troubled, and likely was on something to misbehave that way. He reflects bad on the 321 school, store, and the owner who employs him. I took a couple of lessons with 321 Kiteboarding and those were proved as a couple lessons too much. NO MORE!!
