When I walked in, they had an entire wall of different skateboard decks to choose from. to the right of the entrance once you walk in, they have an entire surfing section, and in the top floor they have a bunch of snowboarding stuff The guys at the counter were super cool and helped us find the right size and parts we needed. Shoutout to Dylan, who was super helpful and kind while we searched for the right boards, and even gave us shop stickers! This is definitely my favorite skate shop in LA, and I definitely recommend it!!

Phase One Surf was originally founded in San Diego circa 1999, when the shop's entrepreneurial…read moreowner and heartbreaking stud, Adrian Nichols, was attending UCSD. The store operated out of Adrian (and roommates)'s garage and has since then expanded to multiple locations in Southern Cali. You can find out more from their website. Anyway, I bought my first (well, my only) surfboard from Adrian -- A Phase One epoxy 7'6" funboard "Blue Classic Stripe" for a great deal (board, bag and leash) and I love it. It's the best board for me - perfect size and it fits my needs as a major beginner/kook/novice... que girl-term for Barney. Adrian represents five local shapers from Southern California, cutting down on the costs of your board, but never sacrificing quality. He's got a crazy amount of stock to meet your surfing (even non-surfing) needs - wetsuits, fins, board racks, booties, leashes, fun/long/short/indo boards, travel accessories, skateboards, body boards, watches, clothing, backpacks, etc. etc. the list goes on. He even has used surfboards available and can even hook it up with a CUSTOM board that'll fit your specifications (color material design shape etc)! If you want a unique, good quality board (or any of the other things I mentioned) without breaking the bank, check out Phase One Surf online or on site. Give him a call and he'll hook it up for sure. What more can I say? Adrian is the cheese to my surfing macaroni. =D

The hours are from 10:30 to 3:30…read more My ex husband brought a van to transport our daughter's surf board. Surprisingly, however, a 7.2 surf board will fit in a compact car. My daughter found Phase One Surfboards through ebay, but I wanted to go to the physical location. We arrived a little before 10:30 and Shawn greeted us. He took his time to answer all of our questions. We received a cash discount. He installed the fins and gave us complimentary stickers and wax.

Idk, won't be shopping here any more.

Bit of a different review from everyone else for Olympus Board Shop: this is for their Onewheel…read morerental and sales! I came across them while looking for a local place to rent a Onewheel, the electric skateboards made by Future Motion. They're an authorized dealer; perfect, I'd rather buy local. I went to their website, and turns out they also rent! $70/day if less than 4 days, $60 for 5+ days. I wanted to try out a Onewheel before dropping $1k, so I texted and set a day to come by. They also require a 30min tutorial if you have no experience: perfect, I have zero experience and it'll be helpful to learn from a human. Tyler helped me do a few laps in the parking lot, let me borrow a helmet, and I went home to practice more. By the end of the rental period, I knew I wanted one of my own. After some back and forth, we got my order figured out and submitted. They applied the money I spent on the rental towards the purchase of a new board, I put down a deposit, and the wait began. Something to note: the owner, Jeremy, let me borrow a shop board until mine arrived. Due to some mix-ups with the delivery address, I ended up holding onto the shop board for weeks. I really appreciated having the extra time with the loaner and all the additional practice hours I got in. By the time my board arrived, I'd gotten a total of 18 miles in. For anyone else in my shoes - zero experience, nervous about spending so much, not sure if Onewheel is for you - this is the place to start. Rent first, learn on a loaner, buy when you're ready.
