Staff were incredibly helpful, to the point of pulling all the small sized flannels, hoodies, and jackets and giving them to my son to try on. Great selection of clothing that is easy to find based on brand, men's, women's, kids, etc. While my son was trying on I checked out the new and used boards and found a few that I'd love to add to my quiver. The used boards were in very good shape and were market prices. Love that they also support local non-profits via the Mustache for Kids charity foundation.

The service was top notch. I came in Thursday and Friday to look for sandals for myself and a hat for my wife. I found the selection of items great. They carry what some big chains carry but they also have more. I ended up purchasing the comfiest pair of sandals I have ever had before. Freewaters Cloud 9 are amazing. For my wife the goal was a hat that would block the sun from her face and float. They carry Turtle Fur which accomplishes that! I am a very slow deliberate shopper but I found the customer service so great and the value for several items so good, I bought in store happily. Add to the fact that the store is easy to reach and this store is a must before the beach!

He was very nice and patient as I tried several different pieces of jewelry. We found some nice accessories, a few gifts and a really cool hand-printed mermaid t-shirt. I will definitely return if I am ever in the area again!
