I had one of the worst customer service experiences I've ever encountered at this store…read more I came in to purchase some apparel for my children, and my daughter picked out a shirt that was on clearance. As I was checking out, the cashier informed me that all clearance sales were final. I acknowledged that and told him that was fine. The problem began when the cashier struggled to remove the security sensor from the shirt. After several unsuccessful attempts, he decided to use wire cutters to remove it while it was still attached to the shirt. My husband even pointed out that doing so would likely damage the garment. Despite the warning, the cashier continued and ultimately tore a sizeable hole in the armpit of the shirt. At that point, we understandably told him we no longer wanted the shirt since it had been damaged by an employee during the checkout process. To our disbelief, the cashier insisted that "all sales are final." I explained that the shirt was not damaged when we agreed to purchase it and that the damage occurred because of their employee's actions. A manager was then called over and made the equally absurd statement that clearance items are on sale because they are defective. The shirt was not defective when we selected it--it became defective because their employee damaged it while attempting to remove the security tag. Rather than taking responsibility for their mistake, they told us we either had to find another item of the same price or take the ripped shirt. Their complete lack of accountability and customer service was shocking. In the end, we found another shirt, sparing them from having to refund the $18.95 they seemed so determined not to return. The entire situation could have been resolved with a simple apology and common sense. Instead, we were met with excuses, poor service, and a complete disregard for customer satisfaction. Based on this experience, I will never shop here again and would not recommend this store to anyone.

At free to ride the vibe was different and super welcoming, we had been considering a skim board for a few weeks for my 13 year old daughter but hadn't committed yet. DREW was so amazing that we couldn't say No! From the moment he greated us, he was friendly and genuine and super duper knowledgeable. He helped my kid find the right size board and the left us alone to look at designs. When we decided, he waxes her board and gave her a few pointers. He took his time explaining a few things to her and made sure we were happy and comfortable with our purchase as he filled us in in the return policy. Everyone knows it's the people who make a business, Drew is really making an impact here! We are telling all our friends and we will be back for any beach needs in the future!

There was no mention of a spring in the manual; nor could I find anything remotely relevant on YouTube. A friend who owns a skateboard shop suggested talking to John at NC board shop.

The person that helped me out was extremely knowledgeable and very helpful, he was able to guide me through the inns and out of selecting a board that would not only be age appropriate but something that he could also grow into and would last long enough with quality parts "without having to buy the top of the line equipment or for that matter buying something that was crap" I settled on a thrasher board with 53 mm wheels and ABCE9 bearings along with NC Boardshop trucks and finished the underside with the Santa Cruz screaming hand and a bones dinosaur sticker. Cuz that's how I roll "get it, roll?" The shop not only carries everything you need to build a board the also sell protection gear, shoes, socks, pants, and shirts as well as sunglasses and even Christmas ornaments, " which I bought, laugh out loud" Total price for the board was $129 which honestly after doing some interweb research is a pretty good deal for a quality skateboard. Overall experience was great and the customer service was fantastic. I highly recommend them if you're looking to buy a board for yourself or your loved ones.
