But when we went in around my son's 12th birthday, we had Austin help us and man, what a great kid. He treated our son so awesome. He let him pick out his parts and took a photo with him. He made his bday so much more special. Thank you Austin and sorry it took so long to write a review about it! He also was a good sport talking to us about life!

A really awesome little, locally owned toy shop in one of the busier parts of Venice. There is a…read moretiny parking lot on the side of the building, but there's only room enough for one or two cars, so street parking will be your easiest option. The attendant behind the counter was very nice and they do have a good selection of toys. I would say the selection is a bit limited in terms of size, but we are still able to find some really good items and were especially happy to see that they had some JellyCat items that we did not have. I would suggest if you were in the area.

The owner Jeff is a super kind guy who is knowledgeable about surfboards, gear and surf culture. Brian, the manager is top-notch! Super knowledgeable, helpful, surfs himself and understands the boards and gear that he sells. He might not tell you this, but he's a top notch shaper himself although he doesn't talk much about it. This is a local store that deserves support. They've got killer stock of epic surfboards and clothing. It's the kind of place you can go in, have a drink or a coffee, talk story and look at some clips and some of their old boards they have on the wall. Definitely deserves some hype and some credit -- they've been around for a long time and in this economy it's important to support these guys. I've bought many surfboards here over the years and will continue to do so. Ridershack and ET Surf are the two core shops in Los Angeles that I go to.

Please read before getting your bike serviced here…read more I brought my bike in because my dropper post was not fully retracting. I was told it could be fixed and to give them a few hours. No quote or price estimate was provided at any point. About an hour later, I received a call saying the issue was fixed. When I asked how much the repair would cost, I was told, "Just bring cash." I asked again for the amount and was not given one. When I arrived to pick up my bike, I was then told the bike was not fixed correctly. Instead, the mechanic replaced my original cartridge with a smaller, lower-grade cartridge because it was what he had available. I was never contacted or asked for consent before my original part was swapped. When I tested the bike, the same problem was still present--the dropper post did not fully extend. I pointed this out, and the mechanic stated he could have installed the correct part, but used the replacement anyway. Despite the issue remaining unresolved, I was asked again if I had brought cash. Additionally, my emergency inner tube was missing when the bike was returned to me. This experience showed a lack of transparency, communication, and basic service standards. Customers should be cautious when dealing with the service department, especially regarding pricing, authorization of parts, and accountability.

I really enjoyed my visit to Arbor in Venice. There was a sale of shirts, sweatshirts and hoodies…read morefrom the former San Diego store with such a nice selection of designs and sizes. The store is remarkable and serves the Board community well. The thing about Arbor over other sporting goods type stores is that the products designed and materials used follow strict sourcing requirements to reduce the impact to earth. I got my first Arbor shirt at REI over 20 years ago and have been an avid follower of their products. I ended up buying several sweatshirts and hoodies which were embroidered or printed in very cool fashion. All the items I purchased were 50 percent off and are of great quality. The cashier and main employee was really nice, as we had nice conversations about our dogs and how she got into boarding. With such nice savings, I'll be back for value priced summer clothing in the next few months.

They had a wide selection here, I ended up going with a top that had a little bit more coverage and no tie in the back to make it easy to put on, in black. I got bottoms that were this blue tie-dye color. They have a lot of goggles here that I haven't really seen in any stores really. They have Swedish goggles, which are really good for keeping water out of your eyes, but I personally prefer speedo vanquishers. I already have a pair that I retrofitted with some bungee straps, but good to know that they have them here in case they get messed up. In addition to suits and goggles, they also have a wide variety of swim caps in various materials, such as silicone, latex, and Lycra. The worker was very helpful with explaining the care for caps as well as the differences between different materials. I went with latex because it's generally harder to slip off, though silicone is a bit more sturdy and harder to rip, it always slides off my head and lends to a difficult swimming session. I would say, if you're looking for anything swim related, especially for a lap swimming or competitive swimming, come here and you'll find everything you'll need!
