Super chill and kind staff. Very helpful and knowledgeable. Highly recommend. I ordered a dunno board for curbside pickup and picked out some mob grip tape when I swung by. ***I actually swung at a time by when they technically closed but I called ahead and the guy was super chill said no problem he didn't even rush me out he went out of his way to answer all my questions as a new skater and recommended me where to go to get the stuff I wanted since there was a national skate supply shortage at the time. Also gave me some clear grip squares for free since I only wanted a small bit for my board design which saved me like $8 tbh. read more

I know working in retail can be very challenging. Trust me I know from my own experience after 14 years. Came to this shop and dropped off a board for repair filled out a form with all my information. I was told I would be contacted by Monday. No call or follow up. Sure I know things can get crazy at the store at times. So I decided to follow up. I called Thursday, Friday and Saturday I was told I was going to get a call back mind you it's over a week already and no information about the repair of the board. Have a great communication with customer is key to success in any business. Now their staff is very knowledgeable about their product, friendly and professional. But when you requested to speak to a manager his response (manager) after communicating my frustration. Dude I just need to know when is the board going to be ready? His response.. The tech will contact you. No excuse or acknowledgement regarding me calling 3 days back to back following up. Really what is the customer experience suppose to look like? read more

Aegir was awesome. Stopped in to get a board set up with virtually zero clue what I should be looking for as well as my wife who also had no clue. They were super patient and answered every single question and gave me options to try out and explanations of why one option was different than the other. Probably spent about two hours going over everything which personally I probably wouldn't have done myself but they didn't hesitate and smiled the whole way through. Best part was they taught me and my kids how to set the board up and showed us the process involved for the future. Give them a check next time your in the area, they are definitely worth it. read more

Friendly service, but this is absolutely NOT a snowboard shop. I'd been looking for new snowboard boots this season. Went to most places in Manhattan and, after no luck, thought I might need to head to a specialized place - whether ski shop or skate/board shop. Before coming here, I called to ask if they had women's snowboard boots. The guy said yes, and that they are on sale, from prior year's models. So we head over here, and realize that the only boots they have are the ones left over from over the years when they last sold snowboard gear. They were super cheap (like less than $100), but the guy who was assisting me, despite trying to be very helpful, admitted that he knew nothing about snowboarding, because he's a skater. And that the store stopped selling snowboard gear several years ago because they weren't making any money. Fair enough, but perhaps it should be more clear to patrons so that shoppers who are seriously looking for gear do not come here expecting much. We ended up going to a ski shop, a bit farther from us, but had more luck there. Overall, good place for skate and surf, but don't come if you are looking for snowboard gear. read more

Disclaimer: the situation described happened a couple of years ago so things may have improved. I was just getting into snowboarding and needed to buy boots to complete my set. I wanted to support a small business and found Aegir. The staff wasn't particularly helpful or friendly but they weren't outright rude either. I bought a pair of boots and made sure I would be able to return them since I was still shopping around. A couple of days later I saw the same boot for cheaper in a color that matched my board. I went back to return them and they gave me store credit. I tried going back a few times after but they were closed even though their store hours said they'd be open. A year has passed by the time I end up there while they're open. While checking out, I discover that my store credit was invalid because it was more than a year since it was issued. They ended up applying half of the store credit. I want to give them the benefit of the doubt. Maybe I shouldn't expect the same level of service and flexible return policy as a chain retailer but I walked away feeling kind of scammed. The entire experience wouldn't have felt so bad if they were apologetic and friendly about the whole situation but their attitude made me feel guilty for essentially giving them more money. read more

Very, very, very poor customer service. Bad surfshop run by kooks, and just a bad and disorganized business - DO NOT SPEND YOUR MONEY HERE. Aeigir took $760 for a board I paid for online for local pickup (which said was in stock and wasn't) They never delivered on it, nor explained when or how I might get a board wile they held my money and failed to return my emails after multiple friendly attempts. I spoke to the owner (PETER) finally on the phone after reaching out day after day with emails and phonecalls. He seemed aloof, vaguely promising to "make it right," somehow then doing nothing - besides ignoring more emails and phonecalls as the days turned into weeks. I concluded my money had been stolen -- but I was wrong. I was able to convince the nice kid on the phone to refund the charge on my credit card. I actually havn't gotten the money back yet but I did an email from the shop (finally) claiming my money had been refunded. I work with and am friends with a lot of New York surfers -- I could have purchased this board cheaper on a website but I wanted myself and my surf group to support a local shop and Aegir seemed cool and convenient. This is our second bad expirence with the place. We will find another good shop with hard working and organized management, but life is too short to work with bad actors. Save yourself the frustration! The only good thing I can say is that the kid who works behind the counter was super nice, stoked for surfing and seemed to care about the customer. My guess is he covers for his boss's incompetence and laziness constantly. If you run another surf shop I'd try to poach him asap. read more

Wow, just amazing. I dropped my child off here for a class and the staff were super knowledgeable, friendly and flexible with my hectic work schedule. I love that there's a board shop so close to my home in this miserable pit of gentrification and tourism. I might be part of the problem, but point is, cute and very well stocked store! read more

We walked in today, about 20 minutes ago, to look at suits and boards. We are just visiting, but my boyfriend was willing to buy a new suit and board here to take back with him, if he could figure out where to surf nearby in NYC. When my boyfriend asked "where can you surf here?", the jerk sitting behind the desk responded "Long Island, Jersey. You can surf here to Florida, whole coast" (USA, entire East coast) in the most pretentious way possible. Telling someone inquiring about "here" who is likely interested in surfing (he is in your damn surf shop after all) obviously is referring to actual surf spots nearby. If you're defensive about your surf spots and hate foreigners and tourists, get over yourself. Or only sell surf equipment to locals, post a nice sign on the door. But don't be incredibly rude when someone asks you a question. Considering they may have bought a lot from you. You lost a customer read more

Started surfing this past year and Aegir has been there every step of the way. I'm so stoked on them that I may even start snowboarding this winter and I'll definitely be going to these guys for all of my needs. Chill, laid back vibe. Killer selection. Great prices. In my opinion one of the best board shops in all of NYC. From products to advice they are spot-on. read more

This place is great! Their selection of clothing and boards are awesome and the staff is extremely friendly. Shows a lot about these guys being the owners and running it first hand. read more

Awesome board shop with great selection! By far the best in NYC. They aren't a "Fashion Forward" board shop like the others. They are focused on providing the best gear at an affordable price. Not to mention this is owner run, so every experience is top notch. Thanks Shaun and Pete! read more

Five stars - this store is a true gem for surfers in NYC, they will repair your boards at the store! Yes, they are the only surf shop in all of the five boroughs that will do board repair. I had them fix a fin box as well as a whole bunch of dings, and they did a top-notch job. No need to wait for some strange friend-of-a-friend that some dude in the store knows that can fix dings. I've been to all the surf shops on Rockaway Beach, all of them, not one offers board repair - they all passed me a card to call some random dude, and maybe he'll fix it. Tried the fancy shops in Williamsburg and Manhattan, they pointed me to someone local who does board repair, they got back to me about a month after Aegir worked their magic on my boards. Even though the location may be out of the way for some, it's well worth the trip. Your board will be in good hands and they'll do a top-notch job patching up dings and anything short of the board snapping in half. I fully support this shop! read more

Been in here for both surf and snowboard gear, and Shaun has been awesome every time - knowledgeable, friendly and intent on actually helping you get the right gear. It has the feel of a local shop you want to go hang out in, talk about recent sessions in the water or the mountains, and generally be surrounded by other people who love the same things. Love this shop, a well earned 5 stars. read more

Called this place because I needed my board sharpened and waxed. They said to bring it in and could do it same day. Brought my board down from manhattan and was told they wouldn't be able to do it until the next night. Girl at the desk was also super douchey about it and gave me tons of attitude. If you like being treated with respect and value your time, steer clear of this crap shop. read more

This is the first review iv ever left for any business on any site. I just like to give the benefit of the doubt to any small business and feel bad leaving reviews that my affect their business. But I've tried to get in touch with the shop to resolve this and my emails are being ignored, so don't really know what else to do. Here's briefly what happened: I went into the shop a few weeks ago to buy a fish board. I'm new to surfing, have been riding a long board, and wanted to get something more maneuverable. When I told this to one of the employees, he suggested I should get a soft top, because they're "indestructible" and especially good for the crowded Rockaways. We chatted for quite a while, as I know next to nothing about surfing and have never considered riding a soft top, but he was adamant that this would be the right call, "you can bang it up, it'll last forever". In the end, i got the board because of its promised durability. The next day, I got in the water with it, and paddled around not more than 10 minutes when i noticed a big gash on the side. The waves were tiny that day, I didn't have any collisions, but obviously someone's fin had slide across the top of the board and cut it open. I was obviously pretty bummed. I had just spent $400 on a brand new board that I bought because I was told it could take a beating. So anyways, I called the shop and spoke to the guy, and got a reply of "yeah shit happens, welcome to surfing bro." I brought the board in again, and got another "yeah welcome to surfing bro" response and another employee. They said they could just throw some glue in it, clearly trying to just get rid of me. Now i understand gear is gear, and sometimes shit goes wrong. I used to race bikes and now run ultra marathons, but if anyone would sell me shoes or pedals with the explicit promise of them working a specific way (durability, etc), and then if they turned out not to preform in that way, I'd stand behind that promise, not just brush it off. I asked for the owners email, they wouldn't give it to me so i left mine. I heard nothing for a week, then i emailed the shop, two weeks late, still nothing. I was super polite about all this, i don't really get frustrated or mad at anyone, just trying to solve an issue, but no one seemed to give a shit. Anyways, I still haven't heard from anyone so don't know what else to do but regrettably write this review. read more

I've had two boards repaired so far here and left very happy. The turnaround and quality of the work is great and price very fair. The last repair was on an epoxy (LFT) that took in some water after a nasty ding. It's now good as new (until the next time a friendly Rockaway kook drops in on me). Recommend this shop highly. read more

Shaun and Pete are the power duo of the industry! These guys know the ins and out of every product in the store, whether you're purchasing a snowboard, surfboard, wetsuit or skateboard, they use their expertise to make sure the consumer is getting whats right. Did I mention that they hosts some rad parties right in the heart of DUMBO? Keep up the good work guys, will stop by again soon! read more

I came in on a Sunday to buy a Surfboard repair kit for a board that I found on the street and Flo was very helpful on helping me purchase the right kit, and also giving me good instructions on how to start repairing my board! Overall great experience, I will be back! read more

Usually I do my own ding repair but I found myself with a rail gouge that demanded more TLC than I thought I could deliver. I've been in and out of Aegir since the place opened and I've always enjoyed their laid back approach and casual banter so I figured I'd give their ding repair services a whirl. My fairly serious ding was repaired in a timely fashion and I got a welcomed courtesy call when it was done. The repair is not only solid but also aesthetically pleasing as well. I was happy to pay the asking price for the repair and I will readily do the same in the future when I've got a repair I'm apprehensive about doing myself. Stoked! read more

I am soo happy to have visited this store! The staff was soo friendly and geniun, there was no arrogance of 'cool school' which I was almost expecting considering how awesome their space looks and the location. I am recommending this store to all for the snowboarding season! A++ read more

It's funny you would think that the board shops would be in Manhattan but this is by far the best board shop in the city. I'm still kind of new to city and wasn't even aware of a surfing scene in NYC but one of the owner Shaun was really in getting me caught up. Great ppl, Great shop! read more

Peter and Sean are awesome. Super friendly, super knowledgable. The store is a very well curated collection of surf/skate/snowboard gear and clothing. My kids love this place! read more

Needed my snowboard re-waxed last minute and couldn't wait the 3-4 days estimate given to me by Paragon Sports. Dropped off the board, walked around DUMBO for an hour, and the board was waiting for me. Easy, fast and friendly service! read more

Awsome place and awsome owners:) very well priced and great selection of product, a must place to stop when in dumbo!

Awesome shop with friendly guys here! Did me a huge favor to get my skis waxed & sharpened super quickly. Definitely check out their skateboarding & snowboarding gear even if you're not in the area! read more

These guys are awesome! Laid back vibe and super friendly. No high pressure sales and the dudes are cool. At first, I walked by and almost didn't notice it. I walked in and after checking out the wares, decided on picking up an Arbor cruiser. Ended up staying a bit longer to shoot the shit and play with the awesome dog there. read more

Very nice board shop in the neighbourhood. Alex helped me get my first snowboard today! He is so friendly and willing to share his knowledge with me without pushing me to purchase anything. And he helped setting up the board for me! This is a must see if you are looking for snow gear in the neighbourhood. They also carry variety of surfing stuff. read more

Very cool shop. Born and raised in San Diego looking for a comparable west coast shop. This was the place. Great staff. Had what I needed and at a good price. I will be back again for sure. If you have your doubts, don't. read more

Great place to come to if you're new or intermediate snowboarder. The owner took the time to find a great board and set up for me based on what I was looking for. I ended up getting boots and bindings as well but not from him pressuring me. Was a little nervous cause I am only familiar with the big brand names like Burton or K2, and never heard of Arbor before , but when I looked up the reviews for the Arbor board I got plus the bindings / boots they were excellent. read more

Peter is the best! He loves surfing and is totally egalitarian about it. He does an amazing job on board repairs too. I've been to several surf shops between Long Beach and Montauk - those places are not friendly or even really into helping. Peter's attitude keeps me going back to Aegir's time and again because I am someone who has questions and is always wanting to learn, and Peter will talk with you instead of treating the shop like a 7-11 expecting you to get-in and get what you need on your own and get out. I'm finally in the market for a longboard and just remembered old conversations with Peter. Gotta stop by soon! read more

My six year old boy takes skateboarding classes here. He loves every second there. My son trains with Casey and the owner Craig depending on class size. They are extremely relaxed and know how to keep the kids motivated and moving at the same time. read more

Amazing place! Really friendly and knowledgeable staff. I bought a snowboard here and Shaun proposed a perfect board for me. I just love it and can't wait to go boarding again. Keep up the good work guys and you'll be seeing me and some of my friends very soon. read more

Pete & Shaun are the best and the shop is always fun to visit. They have the good stuff and know what they're talkin' about.

Yo can you pick up your phone please? We tried calling you before you closed at 8:00 but you didn't. Now my friend has to pay for a rental board me he's very sad about it. Don't make my friends sad. read more

Recently came here for a skateboard for my kid. Excellent service. Super knowledgeable and helpful.

Wow, what a great shop. All of the other posts are totally accurate. I was searching the city for Q cel in order to fix a ding on my board, and not only were they the only shop in the city to have it, Shaun went above and beyond and talked me through his approach to my problem. Definitely the best surf shop in the city, and I will be back soon. read more

These guys were awesome from start to finish. Super friendly and knowledgeable. They tuned my snowboard up nicely and mounted my new bindings. Everything was done as requested. Even though it was a small transaction (money-wise), they treated me like a very valued customer. I will definitely go back for tune-ups and any other snowboard needs our family has. read more

These guys rock. Not only do they have a solid board/clothing collection , they actually stand by their product. And don't forget Georgie the shop dog! read more
