Whether you're a day hiker or experienced backpacker, REI will have what you need. They have…read moreexperienced folk on staff who can help if you need guidance, and they have the selection so you can try just about any type of gear you're thinking about. The prices are that of a brick and mortar, but the value add is the knowledge and experience that comes with such - don't sell this part short when it comes to outdoor gear as it can make or break an outdoor experience. ;)

Wayne who has worked at REI ( different stores) for 17 years helped me find the right shoes. His recommendations were so different than AI but I found a shoe that has the arch support and stability . It was an awesome shopping experience. As much as we love technology, there's nothing better than an in person experience with a salesperson who knows what's out there. BTW, Wayne also told me which brands I could use my 20 % off coupon for members during the Memorial day sale.

It's hard to say that about every (or any for that matter) commercial retail business. They have just about everything you could need for sports, hobbies, little league, etc., and the selection is solid across the board. I've also brought my bike in for a couple of tune-ups and have had nothing but great experiences each time. I really enjoy the investment in the community that SB does. They have pickleball courts and pool tables on the third floor that are open for community use, and they regularly host events across their locations, which is pretty rad. Overall, Sports Basement gets my business every time over other major sporting goods stores. Great people, great vibes, and a strong sense of community.

Whoever was working the guns with the dark hair and the trimmed dark beard working mainly the left side was a jerk. He didn't seem like he wanted to be there nor cared about anything. I asked him about the gen 5 glocks and he cut me off to say all glocks are illegal to sell in CA. Not what I was asking about and also false. I then was trying to inquire about a Ruger mark 4 and he was rude about how they have them but won't sell them but can order them. I still don't understand what he meant other than out of stock maybe? Anyway. Another customer came up behind me and asked this man a question and he scolded the customer and said he was with me, he was not and dragged me into it for some reason. He eventually got rid of the prospect and I proceeded to tell him I didn't want or need his help and to help the man he ignored. Instead he called up the next person in queue. Ironically enough, an employee was going off on a phone or radio about giving the best customer satisfaction possible lol. I almost said something to him but he was so hyped and happy, unlike mr grumps at the gun counter. Aside from that and what drove me away from purchasing a new firearm that day, the guys working Ammo and the fishing department were amazing. They really showed their knowledge and were a pleasure to work with. I will be back because of them, but maybe sticking to rifle supply for gun purchases.

Rich in Rentals was wonderful, approachable, sharp, patient, and genuinely interested in helping me get the right gear. He answered all my questions thoughtfully and made the rental process feel effortless. Ike was a wealth of backpacking knowledge but completely easygoing and never pushy, the kind of person you could happily pick the brain of all day. Niko was upbeat, friendly, and impressively efficient with my purchases, while Annabelle kept everything running smoothly with warmth and ease. It's rare to find a store where the entire team leaves such a positive impression. I came in for gear and left knowing I'd found my new go-to for camping, backpacking, sports, and outdoor adventures. Definitely coming back!

And usually to me and my puppy every time we come to the store, AND the parking lot is huge! Never have an issue. I appreciate how large this space is and everything is neatly organized and you know where to find all the items for various activities, sports and weather! Tons of brands and selections. I especially appreciate the sports basementeees discounts especially on yoga clothes or other athleisure wear. I also really like that if for some reason something isn't working out with the item I purchase, I know I can bring it back in (within reason and appropriate timeframe!). The value of items here are top notch and I'm always happy to support this retailer. So glad to have one in Orange County! Definitely a great place to look for high quality, durable and affordable clothing and accessories - perfect for any adventure!

I told them I didn't want to be "that customer" that holds them past their closing time. They were very nice and told me I didn't have to worry with a real smile. Sarah was printing my receipt and I asked her about a specific model of pants that I saw online, but I just wanted her opinion, I really didn't want to hold them up. She answered the question and showed me the pants, explained all the differences with the other pants that I was familiar with, knew exactly what size I should pick, and sent me to the dressing room with the size I thought I needed and the size she recommended (a size smaller). Of course she was right about the size and I left with those pants that, by the way, I'm wearing today and are all that she said, I really like them. Sarah, you are awesome! Keep that attitude as you move up in life. The way you treat people really makes a difference, especially after a day of talking to a lot of people that are not as nice as you. Management, the staff needs a bonus for great customer service and Sarah should train all the new employees.

I have been in business for many years and have met thousands of people throughout my life, but every once in a while, you come across someone who leaves a lasting impression on your heart. Damien was one of those people. From the moment he greeted me, he treated me with kindness, respect, and genuine professionalism. Every word was spoken with courtesy: "Yes, sir," "Thank you, sir," and "It's a pleasure to help you, sir." His manners, patience, and willingness to assist were truly remarkable. As I spoke with him, I couldn't help but think back to my own teenage years. Damien reminded me of a time when respect, humility, and strong values were the foundation of a young person's character. Seeing such a respectful and hardworking young man today touched me deeply. In fact, I had tears in my eyes because it gave me hope and reassurance that there are still wonderful young people in this world. His parents deserve tremendous credit for raising such an outstanding young man, and Dick's Sporting Goods should be extremely proud to have Damien representing their company. He is a shining example of what customer service should be and what good character looks like. Damien, thank you for your kindness, your professionalism, and your respect. You made my shopping experience unforgettable. Young men like you are rare, and I hope your managers recognize what a valuable asset you are to their team. May God bless you and your future. Keep working hard, stay humble, and never change. The world needs more young people like you.

If you are a surfer and never tried the Goofboard you are missing out. I have tried the Indo Board…read moreand to me it does not really mimic being on a surfboard. I came across the Goofboard and the video of Wing Nut balancing on the Goofboard and rocking it, I knew right then and there I needed one and I must have one. I have been Goofing now for just a little over a year and it has improved my surfing tremendously. Unlike the Indo Board where you are balancing like you are standing in the middle of see-saw the Goofboard allows you to go from rail to rail. The Goofboard comes in two pieces the Goofboard itself and the balancing pipe which is made out of recycled material. You will need to use the Goofboard on a carpeted area so that the pipe does not slide out from the Goofboard. On rainy days I bust out the Goofboard and practice. I take out the Goofboard when I am just chilling at home watching TV. The dimensions of the Goofboard are 44" x 15" with a weight limit of 450 lbs (if you are that heavy you should never be goofing in the first place). Best yet the Goofboard is 100% made in the USA. The Goofboard is made from 15mm birch plywood with grip tape attached. THERE IS NO PLASTIC ON THE BOARD and Goofboard amazingly promotes that the World has enough plastic, which we do. The board is reasonable priced at $149.00, I for one love this board and if you are a surfer you will love it as well.
