** - Above and Beyond Customer Service**…read more I had a truly outstanding experience at Ron Jon Surf Shop in Cocoa Beach this Father's Day. I initially came in to purchase a 9-foot board I had my eye on. After deciding to buy it, I stepped out briefly to grab my son so he could help me load it into my truck. When I returned, the board was gone--needless to say, I was extremely disappointed. I spoke with a salesperson named Dave, who explained that the board actually wasn't supposed to be on the sales floor--it had been custom-made for the shop and was pulled by the general manager and placed in an office. Even so, Dave didn't stop there. He took the time to listen to my situation and understand how much this meant to me, especially as it was intended to be my Father's Day gift. Dave went out of his way to help and connected me with the manager, Chip. Chip took things to the next level--he made calls to the general manager and even reached out to corporate to see if anything could be done. After about 45 minutes of effort, he came back with incredible news: they got approval to sell me the board. Neither Dave nor Chip had to go to those lengths, but they did--and that level of customer care is rare. They could have easily said no and moved on, but instead they went out of their way to make my day. As a local, I'll be out riding waves on this board and proudly telling this story. Ron Jon didn't just sell me a surfboard--they delivered an unforgettable experience. Thank you, Dave, Chip, and the corporate team for making my Father's Day!

Largest surf shop in the world at 52,000 square feet of cool, rad, and gnarly, awesome things (shirts, jewelry, swim wear, accessories, beauty products, home decor, surf boards, rash guards, sunglasses, etc). If you can walk out without buying a shirt, keychain or sticker, I would either be impressed, or think something was wrong with you. Free parking (time limit) in the back of the shop. Long arse lines at all the registers, but that's a testament to how popular this place is. My husband who is an (ex-)surfer, totally loved this shop. He said visiting this store was one of the highlights of the trip.

What an amazing addition to Cocoa Beach!…read more An extremely well thought out and designed space! Every detail is exceptional. The bathroom is even gorgeous! A wide array of women's and men's clothing, accessories, sunglasses, skate and surf gear, and gifts! There is even some local artists who have their own jewelry line. So lovely! The backyard patio is absolutely dreamy! It reminds me of a Southern California patio. There is beer on tap, and wine... yes you read that correctly! There is even a vintage Simpsons arcade game. The owners are so welcoming and friendly and really make a point to make you feel welcome! They will happily take you on a tour and show you the work they did by hand to bring this beautiful space alive!

I highly recommend checking this shop out.

The guy I spoke with (tall, skinny dude) had that smartass vibe from the start. When I asked how a used Channel Islands Neckbeard (he wanted to sell me) compared to Happy Everyday, his answer was that there are now as many surfboards as marijuana strains. Funny line, but not helpful, and honestly a weird comparison since people actually choose specific strains for real reasons. Then came the rant about volume. He said it couldn't be measured, which was funny because these days every core guy or old-school surfer seems to have something personal against the word "volume". It's almost like volume broke their hearts, everyone's got a speech about it but no one gives a straight answer. Before leaving, I asked about deposits on boards, and after acting like they only want customers who can drop a thousand bucks on the spot, he admitted they might take 50%. At least that's something. Catalyst will be fine with $100 though. And that's the problem here. Shops like this complain that people don't support local surf shops or local shapers, but when you show up ready to spend money, this is the treatment you get. Then they act surprised when sales go to the bigger brands. If you want people to support local, you've got to give them a reason to.

Worst Experience EVER! My husband and I decided to go on a last minute beach trip away from Miami…read moreand this is where we ended up going. We both found swimsuits and were headed to check out. I asked the man at the counter if they had somewhere to change and also asked about the return or exchange policy because my swimsuit was one size, he said we could change in the fitting room and i could try on the swimsuit before buying to make sure . So I paid for my husband's shorts then he changed into them and I changed into my swimsuit to make sure it fit and brought the tag to the register to pay. After I paid, this lady comes running at me asking me where my receipt is and saying I didn't pay. I told her I already paid for the items and she could ask the man at the register. Then my husband comes out of the dressing room and she's screaming that we didn't pay for those and trying to snatch the receipts which I had on top of my wallet out of my hands. I told her to not touch me and to ask the man at the register because I dropped one of my receipts while she was attacking me. She grabbed my arm and tried to yank me back to take my receipts out of my hand and after she finally asked the man at the register if we paid and he said yes, she ran into the back office. I called the police and couldn't do anything because I live in Miami and will not come all the way back for that. Horrible staff, too expensive. My husband was racially profiled because he's Hispanic and has face tattoos.

This is one of a dozen or more surf shops located along North Atlantic Ave. in Cocoa Beach. This…read moreshop has many of the usual items - Bathing suits, towels, water toys, surf supplies, t-shirts, umbrella and surf rentals and of course, tacky touristy souveniers. What sets this place apart and makes it stand out, however, is that every single item in the store is marked with a yellow price tag that has an incredibly high price listed, then a second orange price tag that shows a "sale price". It's actually quite funny - Almost as if the manager went to some sales and marketing conference where they taught that trick, and rather than having one or two racks of items that were marked with sale prices like that, he's marked every friggin' item in the store. Sweatshirts, for instance, were marked with a price of $28, then a sale sticker that showed the "sale price" of $12.50.

Honestly I respect this place. Every single item in the store is marked with a super high price (a…read morebasic beach chair was seriously marked $60) and then a different sale price which is still too high. Not just some items - every item. I want to know 1) the owner who thinks this works but more importantly 2) the people this does work on so I can sell them a great deal on my college loans. I bought two basic, thin, small beach towels for $25 but hey at least they were on sale as the original price would've been $25 each. Oh wait, also, lol, they have sunscreen right? But the sunscreen price goes up with the SPF, so that the 15 is 7.99 and the 30 is 8.99 etc until the 70spf is like 13 dollars. Again, how can you not respect that?

I ordered a wing on Mar 2, it was delivered to my condo complex on Mar 6 and the product was missing from inside. I pursued the issue with my mailroom as well as the local post office and both entities said to work with the company because the package should have been insured so that a claim could be submitted. Unfortunately the package was not insured. As a result I am out $800+. I tried working with Jonathan and Jennifer and neither of them acknowledged the issue but rather blamed my mailroom stating that it was signed for and as a result they washed their hands of the issue. The shop came highly recommended from my buddies at Patrick AFB and unfortunately their level of customer service was not up to par. This could have been prevented by applying insurance onto the package and allowing the USPS claim process to work itself out. I will not be ordering from this company again and will warn the Wing Foiling community here in Puerto Rico of the same. Lucas C.
