It was around noon and most places won't let you pickup that early, but the shop was real accommodating with renting a day early. Greg even offered us a free helmet (which we didn't need, but real nice). We were also able to return way after hours. In addition to such great service, the mid week value was incredible. Best place to rent on the mountain by far, going back here when we come back. FYI, currently only the Big Bear Blvd. location is currently open.

It's my 40TH birthday and we celebrated by doing the skyline trail I had an aventon and my hubby had the Santa Cruz. We went up to grand view point from their shop. I have never rode a bike like this and I lasted 3 hours. I used auto, trail, turbo and boost mode. It was so easy. Tysm to the staff u made my birthday a day to remember!

I stopped into Goldsmith Sports about a week ago to look at skis and was ready to buy. I was there…read morefirst and had already been waiting to speak with the woman who handles ski sales. While I was waiting, a sales rep came in and she chose to prioritize meeting with the rep instead of helping me, even though she knew I was there and waiting. After standing around with no acknowledgment or update, I decided to leave. It was clear that helping a paying customer wasn't the priority. I ended up going to another ski shop down the street where I received great service and spent about $1,800. If you're serious about buying skis, you may want to consider a shop that values its customers' time.

I have bought shoes, energy gels, random parts from them. I like the selection, the value has been consistent since 2012. I would highly recommend them to friends or any mountain biker. My friends have also rented mountain bikes so that we could ride at Snow Summit. Always an awesome experience and I will be back. Thanks!,

Although my daughter races for Mammoth Mountain, we rented all of her ski gear for this season from…read moreGetboards, and we couldn't be happier. We were referred to Tony by a friend and drove up to Big Bear to view the ski selection and rent several pairs for the entire season. Tony and his crew were incredibly welcoming, professional, and caring. They took the time to walk my daughter and me through all of the equipment she needed. We ended up renting ski boots, GS, SL, and powder skis, and my daughter has thoroughly enjoyed them so far. In fact, the high-quality equipment, along with Tony's expertise in selecting and tuning the right sizes, has been a major contribution to my daughter's great season so far. Thank you very much, Tony, and the team at Getboards.

They explain the rules of the lake, you check in on a sheet of paper, and then they quickly get you situated in a kayak and send you off. Very efficient, no time wasted. They're very patient when it comes to getting you in and out of your kayak if you have a dog. I'm not sure if all kayak places have this, but it was nice that they had pads specifically for dogs to sit/lay on so that they're comfortable. Will definitely always come back here for kayaking in Big Bear.

The stoned kid at the rental didnt tell us it would be cheaper to rent because once you check in your paddleboard at the ranger station its a $30 permit fee.

Super unprofessional and didnt even give us a receipt!

And all their workers are so friendly, always making small talk with you and helping you get to know your board and equipments. This year we need to extend our rental an extra day and that was painless as well. When you come back to return, just drop off outside and show them your paperwork, it's a very quick process. Just a tip, there are 2 locations pretty close to each other so remember which one you rented from. :)

We got a tandem kayak and it was so convenient to just be able to walk over to Boulder Bay Park and start kayaking. The woman who helped us rent them at the front desk also kindly reminded us to bring sunscreen and water, and even refilled my water bottle for me. Thanks a ton for a great time! It was my first time kayaking and it was a very pleasant beginner-friendly experience.
