What is immediately apparent once you walk into ET is just how much every single employee there genuinely wants to help you out however you need. There's zero pushy sales bs, and nothing but genuine interaction. We ended up getting a Ripcurl spring suit, some Sticky Bumps, and checking out their huge selection of boards. I was anxious to get a "real" board, but the guy helping us was kind enough to tell me to slow my roll. My kids are on Wavestormers and still getting a feel for it, and the guy suggested not to rush them past that stage. Much appreciated advice, and it means I am 1000% coming back to ET when they *are* ready for new boards. There's a reason places like ET have been open for decades--they're doing it right in every respect.

Half the staff is really nice friendly and very helpful, especially the older staff. Half the staff needs to work on hospitality and customer service(specifically the younger girls that work there). Spyder is not a cheap store so getting good customer service and feeling welcome is always important to me. I'd like to warn anyone shopping for clothes about the store. I just recently bought a skirt on the sale rack that I noticed was damaged, ripped, missing a button when I got home. I called immediately when I noticed the damaged skirt. The sales associate remembered me and told me that was the reason it was on the sales rack, because it was damaged. And she said told me it was final sale. I worked in retail for 3 years and I think that's a horrible. Purposely selling damaged clothes for a small percentage off. Not cool. She should have offered me my money back. I spend a couple hundred dollars today on clothes that's the least she could do. Very disappointed today with the service unfortunately. So to anyone shopping be careful with sale items. The associate told me they put damaged items on the sale rack and they do not warn the guests that they are damaged when purchasing.... not good... Richard and Tamara totally resolved my issue. They apologized and gave me a full refund for my damaged skirt. I really do enjoy Spyder surf shop. And I always recommend my friends go check it out for surf equipment. Thanks Spyder for being awesome !!

Jake assessed the "project" to determine that it wasn't fit for me to ride, which made me feel safe that I was in good hands as he was looking out for my well-being - LOVE THAT! Love you, Jake!!! You're my boy blue. The repairs were costly at first, and he made it work within my budget. Full transparency (asking questions) and good communication go a long way and keep the peace (note to everyone). I am soooo beyond grateful that he knew what was needed and took care of it all within just two days! Attentive, fast, and thorough - calling to share updates along the way. (No one likes financial surprises, so that was kind on my wallet). Also, upon pickup, Kevin noticed my seat was too low and hiked it up to the height that was appropriate for my leg/knee length - thank you, Kevin! 5 stars and 5 snaps!

However, I abhor their customer service. I bought a used pair of Terra 9s from eBay. After the brake fell off while in use (thankfully I was able to drag my skate to stop and wasn't hurt), I searched the internet and found out these skates had been recalled: http://www.cpsc.gov/en/Recalls/2006/LandRoller-Inc-Recalls-to-Repair-Roller-Skates/ When I tried to contact the company about the recall, I received no response. I finally had to do an email carpet bomb to all the common email addresses (info@, sales@, support@, abuse@, postmaster@, webmaster@...) before getting in touch with a representative, Barbie Johnson. She assured me that my skates were not part of the recall, and that the brake falling off was just bad luck and a loose bolt. So I asked about getting a replacement brake, and she assured me that the brake for the current model (Mojo) would fit my Terra 9 skates. So I sucked it up and ordered the $7 pad plus tax and an outrage-inducing $15.24 shipping. I told them in the comments field to ship via a USPS priority mail envelope, and they took me up on my advice (but still kept the additional $10 shipping. You're welcome.) And I would have been happy for them to do so since they did ship 2 brake pads instead of just one. But... THE MOJO BRAKE PAD DOES NOT FIT THE TERRA 9 SKATE. See for yourself how the base of the pad (sort of a beaker shape) doesn't match the slot in the brake arm (squat trapezoid): https://www.dropbox.com/s/7ysi3zs7il9c3t4/Landroller%20Mojo%20brake%20pad%20does%20not%20fit%20Terra%209%20skate.jpg When I told Barbie this, she told me, "It was said that the break [sic] pads fit the Terra 9 break [sic] arm... Unfortunately we no longer have Terra 9 break arms to sell. At this point I no longer have the conversion kit to sell you." This passive, ignorantly homophonous response completely deflects responsibility and leaves me absolutely no options. So my skates are now useless because Landroller cannot support their own product by selling me an essential piece of safety gear. I asked Barbie to let me return the brakes for a full refund. But despite my explicit request 3 weeks ago, a return authorization code and return shipping label have yet to appear. So I contested the charge with my credit card company. At this point I don't care how much better these skates are than Rollerblades. With customer service like this, I refuse do business with them.

Several weeks ago I was on my way to San Diego and stopped at Javaman for some coffee before the…read morelong road trip. Upon getting out of my car at Javaman I saw this store 'Wicked.' I looked in the window and saw bikes, skateboards, clothing, iced tea, and ecofriendly attachments for your Iphone. I looked deeper into the store and observed a very cool shirt which had a multicolored fish next to a multicolored fish surfboard and thought it was worth me coming back when the store was open to check out exactly what this store had to offer. Yesterday (11-23-2012) I found myself again at Javaman and this time 'Wicked' was open. I walked in and observed all of their clothing to be preshrunk organic cotton. I asked the gentleman behind the cash register if they still had the shirt I was looking at several weeks ago, he said they did but the only size left was a medium and I needed a large. I still tried on the shirt in the bathroom / changing room and discovered it to just be a little too small and with a price tag of $39.00 a shirt has got to fit me perfect for me to invest that much coin on a shirt. The cashier said the shirt I wanted was out of stock and they could not order anymore which was a disappointment but quite honestly I am not sure I would have paid $39.00 for a t-shirt even if they had my size. I walked around the store and checked out several other items they had to offer from books on surfing, to ecofriendly shoes & sandals, I did not find anything that I felt the urge to buy. I thanked the cashier for his time and left. This store is located right next to Javaman & a Jiu-Jitsu studio on Pier. The store itself is quite small and too darn close to the beach to be finding any kind of discount. I hope more stores like this pop up here & there but this close to the water you are paying for the overhead to keep the lights on and I have to give this place a pass. I might be back if I am at Javaman and looking to kill time but other than those circumstances chances are this was the first & last time I walk in the door. With saying the above, if you are Xmas shopping for that Ecofriendly person this might be a spot you want to check out they have it all and when I mean it all, I mean IT ALL. I am giving this place 4 Stars instead of 3 because they are a local business that is Ecofriendly, if this review was solely based on the prices it would be 3 stars.
