Wow! Such a cute…read moreshop! We were told it's only been open in this spot since April but it was loaded with cute surf, swim and other items. Friendly staff inside greeted us and we were left to browse the end of season sales - tons of great name brand items were on sale in the back by the women's bikinis and swim. Def, worth a stop in if you're a local or visiting the beach and need some swim or surf essentials!

Absolutely terrible customer service. I ordered a pair of sunglasses. They come in two sizes. When…read moreI received them I realized that they were too big. I emailed customer support and they said they would be happy to send me the smaller size once they received the larger glasses. I sent back the larger glasses and they were delivered 8 days ago now. No response from the shop or customer support. I've emailed them multiple times, called multiple times, and left a voicemail. I don't understand how it takes 8 days to do this. I also am failing to understand how a shop has this poor of customer support. Not responding to emails or calls for 8 days is absurd. Extremely unprofessional.

I felt a bit like an imposition just by entering the store, as they were pretty disinterested in helping us. The lone lady came out after I asked about the classic prints and pretty much returned to the coffee clatch. We checked out some of the other items, but it wasnt my taste. I picked out a long sleeve classic, paid and left. Next time I'll order online.

I am not a yelper but had to come and leave a review for WRV. I had a quality issue with a large…read morepurchase that was not going away. After a couple of emails things got lost in the shuffle. I was really disappointed and decided to call the HQ in VA Beach. I was put in touch with Jen the director of their surfboard department and my experience was completely turned around. Jen was professional, listened to my plight and went above and beyond to make things right. She put me in touch with Chris the manager in the obx shop and he carried the torch to the finish line. While speaking to Jen I discovered that they try to use American made products and materials as often as possible. That they really care about their employees and have a deep bench of experienced people that have been with them for many years. WRV is a large company and after the email shuffle I was sure that I wasn't important enough for my problems to be addressed. Jen completely proved me wrong and made me feel that not only was I important as a customer but everyone that works for them and the community around our beaches and in the lineup are number one when it comes to their business. WRV has made a believer out of me when it comes to great people and a solid business model. I will be a lifelong customer after this experience.

I was looking to rent a board since I was on vacation and after comparing them with other shops I decided I wanted to give them my business based off their friendliness. Even though the cost was slightly higher to rent a surf board for the whole day, I felt it was worth it. I also enjoy knowing my money will support a local surf shops that caters to the younger generation. I look forward to giving them my business next time I'm in town.

I was nervous about the 1:4 ratio, but since they were on the younger end, it was mostly a 1:2 or 1:3 ratio for them. I had visions of them being pulled under a wave and being traumatized by the ocean forever, and it's true they did get hit by the board a few times, but the instructors were so positive that the kids didn't mind much, kind of like how falling is a fact of life when you're learning to walk (but we don't tell kids not to learn to walk). I learned a thing or two too - instead of reaching to a bad wipeout with "Are you ok??", I can try saying "Sick wipeout dude!" :) The one thing I would note is to pay attention to the tides - I think the camps are better at low tide.
