I was recommended to come here by a friend of mine who loves to surf a lot. This one is apparently…read morethe 'outlet' edition of their usual store. When we walked in, there was lots of sales being advertised on a lot of the racks when we walked in. Definitely makes a big difference since the clothing products here are definitely on the pricier end. My first time shopping at this retail store and they have a great selection related to swimwear!!! I was interested in buying a wetsuit and was also informed on the differences between the 4/3 and the 5/3 millimeters of the wetsuits. A 4/3 (4mm for the torso and 3mm for the arms) is better for moderate to cold water with higher flexibility, while the 5/3 is warmer and designed for colder, winter waters, and is slightly less flexible. My goal is to be warm as I don't want to feel too cold so I went with the 5/3. There's a good amount of fitting rooms that are good sized to be trying them on. My first time trying on wetsuits and I felt like a seal LOL!!! I purchased one but keep in mind that even with the clearance sale I got it for, it was $120+. My girlfriend tried finding bikinis but there was little sizing for her and lots of the two pieces were separated and the designs weren't matching so she didn't get any.

A RipCurl bag with a bathing suit, romper, scrunchie, and a dress. She absolutely LOVED everything. She even went back the following week with her kids to shop and purchase more!

The store offers so much with a super large selection of t-shirts, shorts, pants and everything in between.

We're on vacation, but to each their own guys.. I was looking for pins that I try to collect when we travel somewhere. I love to stick them in the roof of my car. If I can find one I think is special enough or reminds me of something we also picked up a hat, some sunglasses and a few other knickknacks. They had great sandal options as well as T-shirts and hoodies. Great stop. I come every time we visit. Prices are affordable while they do have some things more on the expensive side it is good quality. So I'd say you get nice things for the value they offer.

I originally went to Bird Surf shed to check out some boards (transitioning from longboard to…read moreshortboard) but they didn't have much of a selection and they told me to go here instead and also because they rent here so I could try before I buy essentially. They had several Torqs surfboards to rent so my boyfriend and I tried 2. You can rent up to like 3 boards same day for price of $10 per person which is a steal. Last time I tried before I buyed was like a $35 rental and although I did end up getting that board and love it, $10 is so cheap in comparison. All you need is to leave a credit card or ID for your rental, and just one per party. You also sign some paperwork and you're good to go. Recommend you come at 10am when they open so you get access to all of their boards.

The rentals were great quality and we enjoyed surfing for 2 hours by the dog beach (just north of lifeguard tower 5). Will definitely be back again whenever we have visitors that want to surf!!
