I like the brands that the store carries as well as their branded merchandise. Maybe I'll try again next time I'm Laguna.

They had a kayak that could hold 2 adults and a kid in the middle, along with life jackets. We filled out the waiver online, so it was pretty quick to go out once we got there. We parked a little farther up at the paid spots. We launched from Fisherman's Cove. Before this, we had only been kayaking in calm waters in Newport Back Bay. The open waters is a totally different beast. Not gonna lie - I was a little nervous during launch because the waters were definitely rougher than the bay, and I can't swim. But I always felt safe. We went out to a few kelp beds and just chilled there for a bit, chatting with each other, learning about the area and each other. Living in Orange County, I was surprised at how much I didn't know about Laguna Beach and I learned a lot just chatting out in the water. The effect was surprisingly calming as the waves moved underneath us. The kelp beds definitely help break the waves a bit. Although we did pick up some kelp while paddling, it wasn't too bad. There were a few waves that were a little bigger, and our poor kid started to get a bit seasick about halfway through the tour. The way back was pretty straight forward, and we landed right where we launched. Everything was done with such ease - we all really enjoyed it! Even our kid was talking about it once we landed. We were able to wear basic beach footwear on the kayak, but were encouraged to leave everything in the car since there could be a tipping event - luckily we didn't experience one! But they took some photos for us and texted them over. While we didn't see any marine mammals, we did see several types of birds. The experience of being out in the kelp beds alone was pretty cool - I can imagine how magical it is to see some dolphin or a whale out in the water!

We had a blast !! Ty

Not your typical surf shop. They carry a really full lineup of Rusty surfboards, have a good fin…read moreselection, and pads and leashes, etc. I go there because they carry Otis Sunglasses. Always getting in new styles. I am fortunate to be able to buy pretty much any brand that strikes my fancy, but these are the best. Mineral lenses that are nearly scratch proof, styles that are cool riffs on classic frames, super comfortable to wear. I walked by the Persol store in Beverly Hills yesterday and didn't even go inside (first time that ever happened) They also carry Rusty branded clothing, super stylish stuff... Not your typical surf wear. My wife likes their women's clothing selection as (again) it is not your typical stuff. They also have a good selection of Globe footwear. U like CJ Hobgood's millennium flair? Well, u can wear his shoes. :) Really not a "surf shop" per se, more like a super cool place to hang out, with fun clothes, watches (Vestal), shades and shoes staffed with friendly people who know their products. What I like most about the shop (besides the Otis shades) is that they don't carry 10,000 brands of everything. They carry the brands that they believe in, and they will tell you "flat out" the story behind the brand, and why they are devoting shelf space to it. Stop by, talk about Owen's perfect heats, the hassling at Rockpile, how crappy the summer traffic is... And buy some stuff.
