I don't usually leave reviews like this, but I feel compelled to share my experience. While…read moreshopping here recently, I witnessed what appeared to be a manager or owner loudly berating a young employee--who looked like a teenager--right in front of customers. It was incredibly uncomfortable and completely inappropriate. Even if there was a mistake or issue to address, there's a respectful and private way to handle that--this was not it. The energy in the store instantly shifted, and it made me want to leave. I believe how a business treats its staff--especially young or new employees--says a lot about its values. I won't be returning, and I sincerely hope the leadership reconsiders how they speak to/treat their team. Friends - Take your business elsewhere! Support local businesses who don't make a habit of being rude to our local teen workforce.

Birthday Suits had a huge selection of options. Every style you could think of and so many prints. The ladies helping my friend and I were both very warm and gave us honest opinions on what fit well and what wasn't such a great fit. They made the experience as painless as possible. I found a great suit that I can't wait to wear to the beach!

They even let us bring our two rambunctious Boston terriers in the store so extra points for being pet friendly! We no longer have a whalebone in Hampton Roads so wanted to make an extra stop here. Closed a little early for me (6pm) but maybe that's because Our visit was before Memorial Weekend. The merchandise is good. Typically prices for brand names and a little cheaper for store brand. Would definitely make this a routine stop whenever we are in town.

The Pit has now become a long-time fixture in Kill Devil Hills. I remember when it opened. In the…read morebeginning it was just a club that would let kids under 21 so they had somewhere to go listen to bands, play games, and hang out. Then they expanded to the surf shop and built a separate building. Now they have Boardriders Grill. In the main building you'll find the "hang out" part. Downstairs on the ground floor is a stage and venue for bands and parties. On the main floor, there's a dining area and small bar. On the top floor there's some video games, pool, and chairs to chill in. Sunday is Euronight with electro/house music spinning and Thursday is Mug Night. At The Pit out back the surf shop keeps expanding so I can't even keep track of all that's offered. I will tell you that they keep up to date with all the rad stuff locals and surfers need to keep up with the island image and life. They offer board rentals, surf lessons, lots of cool stuff. One thing that's really cool is that they're home to "Skim City" which is a sick skimboarding brand. My brother used to be sponsored by them and my family was never short on encounteres with the Skim Crew! A boardsport lifestyle comes as naturally as going barefoot on the beach and The Pit acknowledges that. The Boardriders Grill has come a long way to have a following of its own. $1 tacos from 4 to 6pm and all day on Tuesdays always draw a crowd! I don't know how else to describe it but how they do -- a surf-inspired menu. My Mom loves their fish tacos and my friends and I can barely handle their burritos! Spice and gargantuan size with fresh fixin's. I love that you can eat inside or out on the front deck and the service is friendly and fast. You never know you'll run into at The Pit. Steve Pauls and Ben Sproul have done a pretty good job at keeping it up for locals and visitors alike though. Stop in and hang out...you'll have a good time.
