Island Surf & Sport is essentially two different stores in one. You got the surf shop down bottom…read moreand the clothing store up top. The store up top you can find a solid selection and variety from the latest surf and outdoor brands with in-season clothes as well as some of previous seasons items on sale. The Board Room down below you can find a vast choosing of the latest and greatest from shapers and boardmakers. In addition they offer a surf camp and private lessons to those trying to get started. Every time I visit I have found the people working to be helpful and willing to engage in a conversation about what I am looking for or helping me find the right fin for my board. It is important to buy local when shopping for a new board, wetsuit, or leash so the surfing community can continue in areas like Newport/Middletown.

Additionally, I was told I would receive a partial refund and that has yet to happen and most likely never will. What would rectify this experience would be receiving money back as I didn't get the product I paid for and I didn't get the full day I paid for. The level of unprofessionalism and general incompetence I experienced with this company was genuinely astounding.

Was looking for a particular kayak, and Kayak Centre had the boat. I purchased it over the phone,…read moreand was told to call 24 hours before I wanted to pick it up because it was "still in storage, not yet unwrapped by the store", and they would need to retrieve it. When I found the same boat much closer to me I called them to cancel my order and they charged me a "restocking fee" for a boat that had not yet been brought into the shop, or unwrapped. The fee I had to pay, over $260, is the charge when someone buys a boat, takes it home, and then returns it. I can understand a small penalty for "making" them write up a sales slip, but this was excessive.

Love the instructors and classes at Divine Yoga Company. The space is cozy and perfectread more

ATTENTION: Divine Yoga has a new location and an expanded class schedule…read more The new address is 275 Martine Street, Fall River. They always keep an updated schedule on their original website: www.divinepoweryoga.com OK, now that my PSA is out of the way I'd just like to say that Divine Yoga is a great little respite in bleh Fall River. They have early morning classes all the way to evening classes. They've got weekday classes for the SAHM's and they have weekend classes for the office folk. The new studio has plenty of safe, well lit parking and the yoga room is beautifully refinished with high loft ceilings and warm wood floors. The only drawback for me here, is that they only offer warm (which is basically hot) and hot yoga classes. Sometimes, I want to do my practice but I don't necessarily want to sweat buckets either. So, I wish they would offer a few non-heated classes as well. Otherwise, I definitely recommend checking them out. The location is very convenient to Dartmouth, Fall River & Tiverton and all of the instructors are super friendly and cultivate a welcoming and accepting environment.
