They have a lot of variety which makes it such a great surf shop to check out. It's really easy to find parking on the side of the building in their lot and/or street parking. Their customer service is great as well as they always greet us, ask us if we need any help, and also help when we do have questions. Everyone is really kind and helpful honestly. Makes shopping here such a good experience.

Wow! I can't say enough kind things about my whole experience. Cory and his team were absolutely…read moreamazing. Ray led the lesson and made everyone feel included. He even took his time to remember everyone's name, which says a lot. He was very encouraging and helpful. My group ended up connecting after to hangout the rest of the day in Oceanside and we all even ended up buying surf boards back at the shop (also highly recommend). Give Cory your money and go surf! Trust me!

We had a horrible experience. Our money was deposited in August for an order we needed by…read moreSeptember 23rd. We received mulitiple excuses as to why we didn't have our order. It took me and two others to track Shawn, the owner down. After constantly asking, we got our order at 9:30pm on the 25th, by meeting the guy in a local park in his white van. Turns out, the count was off and the shirts were done incorrectly. In addition to this, the shirts were different brands and qualities. It was such a nightmare. In fact, it was not until Thursday, October 9th that I had to drive to his house to pick up the remainder of the order. DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY.

I've always seen many of their comical posts on Instagram, so I decided to head down to Real Surf…read moreShop in Oceanside to what it's all about. Located off the main road 101, Real Surf is an Oceanside shop that caters to all of your surfing needs. It's where you can rent your board, wetsuit, wax; the works and hit the water (which is just a couple of blocks down the road). I don't surf, but I could see that their board inventory was extensive and their customer service was knowledgeable and superfriendly. But the apple of my eye was definitely their clothing line!! Real Surf Shop has the BEST locally-themed clothing inventory in the city. I'm not talking about generic, tourist-styled designs with "Oceanside" on them. I'm talking about some very witty, comical logos and designs that are indicative & representative of life in Oceanside. If you're an Osider or city local, you NEED to get one of their shirts, tanks, hoodies or hats. Some Logos Include: "Keep Oside Real" "Localization Not Gentrification" and "Oside Takes Care of its Own" All of these should resonate with an Osider. Even more importantly, the staff is down-to-earth and truly care about their community. They give back to and are representative to the spirit of the Oceanside Community Unity. So, whether it's for your surfing needs or just to get a unique shirt that shows you love Oceanside, The Real Surf Shop is where it's at!

My granddaughter has recently gotten into skateboarding. I happened to find Asylum Skate shop while…read morevisiting the Oceanside Thursday night market. So, I decided that I would get her a hat from the skate shop. The guys were AWESOME and very helpful!! I told them about my granddaughter and they were genuinely excited for her. The shop has a vast selection of apparel, skateboards, and accessories. Pricing is very reasonable for the merchandise available. I am glad that I found them and I thoroughly enjoyed my time in the shop!!

They carry a wide range of skateboard brands from clothing to wheels and bearings. The prices are really good considering the surrounding area and prices in surrounding stores.

These boards won't let you down. I have ridden these boards for 20 years and they all work great and are made to last!

If you are a beginner, intermediate or expert surfer or water person they will help you with the right board and products and answer all your questions.

Was going through some old things in storage and came upon a set of fins I bought online directly…read morefrom Watermark quite a few years ago. Just such an overall bummer with these. The front part of the left fin base covers the fin box screw so it cannot get installed properly. I guess who needs the screw right? Maybe just glue em in with resin? At the time I bought em, I was pretty stoked on the price and not having to pay an arm and leg that the big name brands typically charge (and to also support a non big brand), but shows what I know. Sent them an email regarding this issue, but never got a response so I'm stuck with these. Maybe I'll sand off that base? Anyways, hope the quality control has improved since.

Keep up the good work, Watermark!
