I'm…read morecurrently enjoying swimming in the ocean which freezes me so I got really cool and friendly advice on what wetsuit was best for me! Tried on my wetsuit today and SUPER SUPER HAPPY THAT IT KEPT ME WARM BOTH MY SUIT AND BOOTIES! Huge THANK YOU TO the guy who helped me out because I am a big chicken when it's cold I honestly hate CA beaches being freezing cold so I need the thick suits! It was challenging to get in and out of but well worth the hassle At first I was torn between a cute design or being practical and in the end I'm glad I got the wetsuit perfect for winter weather because it's always cold for me anyway! Also bought some booties and other cool stuff. I plan to come back for more stuff because I absolutely LOVE this place! They've got the cutest swim suits and accessories. It's a shopping heaven for beach lovers and I definitely found my place. I'll also take surf lessons here and super excited to do it finally! I kept trying on my own and bumped my head and that was insane. Gotta do things the right way!

I don't do many reviews but when I do, I prefer dos xx, whoops, wrong review…read more Not only do I highly recommend this incredibly great surf shop, but I want to say you should only go to Jack's. They are the best in breed when it comes to surfing stores and I can't say eight great things about them. Not only do they carry just about everything you could ever need for your surf experiences, but they donut was class and style. Their inventory is massive and if you can't find what you're looking for here, then you'll never find it anywhere else. You can always tell more about an establishment, doesn't even have to be a surfing shop but any place, hotel, restaurant, airline or where ever it may be by the people that work there. Could even be a Macys or Nordstroms, theatre's or wherever. What tell you the most about a place by the folk that work there. At his location every employee there had a great attitude and knowledge of all surf. Product knowledge that you hadn't even thought of or crossed your mind before. These guys and the teams there are all first rate and world class humans in top of that. I want to especially single out the manager I met today, Zackariah. You couldn't ask for a better guy to be minding the store and Jack's is darn lucky to have him. Zackariah is a high quality work class human and Jacks is darn lucky to have have him. I've never been so impressed by a fellow running a gorgeous store like this or anywhere else. No, I'm not his mother or father or have any relation to him. I'll just a 68 year old guy who was so impressed by Zackariah, what a great biblical name too, that I have to shout this out to all of you potential and probably many customers already established customers. I will never go anywhere else to get gear for my 35 year old son who loves and surfs down in Encinitas, or my 30 year old daughter who's local here to the Santa Monica Bay who does a little surfing too. Zackariah, your employers are so lucky to have a world class guy working for them. I hope your owners read this reach out to give you a call or show some way of telling you you're doing a great job, because you are and your team shows nothing but respect for your leadership. Thank you for making my shopping experience today a memorable one and I look forward to coming back and hopefully it will be on a day you're managing and are there. In the mean time, you're a rockstar and Jack's is so lucky to have you. I hope you hear from them To let you know and possibly even show you their appreciation of you. You deserve it!!! Rock on!! Craig

So I have had less than great experiences with board repair. Often I get something back that is…read moreworse than what I could have done and believe me I'm no craftsman. Anyway a friend casually suggested I try Rider Shack to repair my board. The guy taking in my board couldn't have been nicer and then he uttered the famous surfboard shop repair claim, "It shouldn't take more than 2 weeks'. Sure I thought to myself. But guess what? Approximate 9 days later I got my board back (!) and it was so well repaired I tipped the guy a few dollars to give to the repair guy, Jose, since I was so impressed. The capper was this. When I brought the board in I had forgotten to take the fins that the guy took off before taking in board for repair. I had forgotten I had left them at shop and searched my car throughout and then thought I must have forgotten the fins at the shop. So I called and Jeff (the owner) quickly found them and gave them to me. He even gave me an extra fin screw just in case I had lost mine. These guys rule. You definitely just gained a repeat loyal customer! Thx again. So appreciated.

TL:DR - Friendly customer service, bad surfboard repair job…read more This is going to be a long review, but if you want the short of it. -Took my longboard in, to repair a scrape, and get it color matched. -Got back a repair job that isn't color matched at all. The repair isn't even flush with the board. -Got more dings on my board than when I took it to them. -Check the photos. If you surf in California, it's not a matter of IF you'll get a ding on your board, it's a matter of WHEN. All the surf spots are lined with rocky shores that will ding your board. I am no exception to this rule and have dinged my longboards many more times than I can count. The one upside to this, is that I've become really good at repairing dings of all kinds. Whether it be on the bottom, the rail, the tail, the nose, anything I can do. What I can't do though, is color match. That is a magic unto itself. I was looking to sell an orange longboard of mine, but it had a scrape on the bottom side of it. It's not deep and it didn't crack through to the foam. If I wasn't planning on selling the board, I'd sand it down, fill it up with a little bit of Q-fill if it needed it, then fiberglass over it. Done and Done! BUT, I want to sell it, so it needs to look good, it needs to be color matched, and it needs to work. I heard a lot of great things about the repair jobs from Bay Street Boards, and decided to take it to them to color match and fix it. BIG MISTAKE. I should've known better when I pulled up to the shop and saw someone balancing a 9ft' longboard over their knees while scraping off wax. No stand, the board just wobbling about, almost hitting the concrete ground. Yeesh. I relayed all the info above to the repair guy and he said it was doable. He said color matching is tricky, but that'd he get it close enough. I was charged a $120 and left my board with them. I wasn't in any rush to get my board back, and it was about 5 weeks before I could pick it up. Is this fast or slow? I'm not sure, like I said, I do my own repairs and can fully repair a ding in a day. PRO-TIP: if you are going to get your board repaired by a surf shop, remove all the wax off of your board. There are 2 reasons for this: 1. If there is any wax near the damaged spot it will fuck up the repair. Wax will gum up the sanding pads, it will interact poorly with the resin, and it gets everywhere. Take it off. The repair guys will love you for it. 2. Removing the wax, will give you a very intimate look at your board. You will see any dings or damages that you hadn't noticed before. This is also important because it gives you a reference point and will let you know if the surf shop messed up your board even more. (Foreshadowing) I pick up my board and in the dim light of the surf shop, I can tell the color match isn't even close. It looks like they sanded over it with a too high of a grit sanding pad, and then glassed over it. They didn't sand it down at all to smooth out the fiberglass texture, and they certainly didn't add any dye to the resin to try and color match it. What the fuck?! In the dim light of the shop, I didn't notice that the sanding job was shitty too, it wasn't even flush with the board at all. There's a couple small depressions where the ding is and it's wavy. If you're going to do a shit job, at least make it flush. Every surfer knows to make the board flush on the bottom, you want that water to glide over it without any friction. At home, I had more time to study the board and found even more issues. I noticed that there were small gravel sized dings on the bottom of my board. Each dug into the board about an 1/8 inch. I know these were not there before because of having de-waxed my board and because these are literally impossible for me to get while surfing. These could only occur if you put a surfboard down on concrete/gravel ground to work it. (Remember that guy outside the shop.) Just to hammer home the case, the ding by the finbox can ONLY occur when there is no fin in. Nothing could hit the finbox at all with a fin in. And how do I know I didn't have these dings beforehand, refer to pro-tip #2. Another thing I noticed were resin drips on the bottom of the board that had hardened. This isn't that bad of an issue to correct, just a little sanding, but the fact that they did that, let's me know that they're sloppy and don't pay attention to details. Overall, this was a terrible experience. I paid a $120, for a bad repair job that I'll have to undo AND I have new smaller dings on the board that I'll also have to fix. Yeeew!
