Bit of a different review from everyone else for Olympus Board Shop: this is for their Onewheel rental and sales! I came across them while looking for a local place to rent a Onewheel, the electric skateboards made by Future Motion. They're an authorized dealer; perfect, I'd rather buy local. I went to their website, and turns out they also rent! $70/day if less than 4 days, $60 for 5+ days. I wanted to try out a Onewheel before dropping $1k, so I texted and set a day to come by. They also require a 30min tutorial if you have no experience: perfect, I have zero experience and it'll be helpful to learn from a human. Tyler helped me do a few laps in the parking lot, let me borrow a helmet, and I went home to practice more. By the end of the rental period, I knew I wanted one of my own. After some back and forth, we got my order figured out and submitted. They applied the money I spent on the rental towards the purchase of a new board, I put down a deposit, and the wait began. Something to note: the owner, Jeremy, let me borrow a shop board until mine arrived. Due to some mix-ups with the delivery address, I ended up holding onto the shop board for weeks. I really appreciated having the extra time with the loaner and all the additional practice hours I got in. By the time my board arrived, I'd gotten a total of 18 miles in. For anyone else in my shoes - zero experience, nervous about spending so much, not sure if Onewheel is for you - this is the place to start. Rent first, learn on a loaner, buy when you're ready. read more

Went to go buy some boots and step in bindings - Adam and Jacob were fantastic! They gave me a lot of great options and also their thoughts on what to look out for, and Adam even went to install everything for me (luckily I brought my board to the shop). Really great experience and I will definitely be recommending my other friends to buy from this place. read more

Wow these guys really stand behind their stuff!!! I brought in some flux bindings I had gotten from then on a board a few years ago. A bolt had gotten loose and fallen out while I was boarding last weekend. They took a look at the joint, grabbed another binding, took out the matching bolt and captured nut, and spent 10 min rebuilding the joint, and checking all the other fasteners in the binding. They double checked the whole thing by comparing it to my matching binding from the other side and handed them back to me. I said to them "awesome, what do I owe you?", and they smiled and just said "you're good". Can't speak highly enough about Jeremy and the guys at Olympus. They'll always be my shop. read more

I've been renting from Olympus for over 10 years now, and they've never missed. From my very first visit to this past season, the experience has always been dialed in. What really keeps me coming back is the vibe. It's not some corporate rental spot--it feels like you're walking into a shop run by people who actually ride and care about getting you out there stoked. Quick turnarounds, well-maintained equipment, and zero hassle. If you want quality gear and good people Olympus is it. Wouldn't go anywhere else. read more

Came in to get the top sheet fixed and Jeremy and Rafa were so helpful, they even helped fixed my stance because they saw right away that I was riding with too wide of a stance. Overall a great place to get your board fixed and find some gear at good prices too! read more

We always have the best experience here! The whole team was absolutely the best. We truly enjoyed their company from the moment we walked in. Raffa went the extra mile for my sister and I! Assisted us with personal tips for big bear & hooked us up! They genuinely care about their customers and obviously love what they do! read more

Hands down the best shop in LA. The team helped me try on a million and one different boots well past their closing time to get me set up with the perfect pair. They were super knowledgeable and helpful. They made sure I left with the right gear. Do yourself a favor and go straight to Olympus for anything snowboard related. read more

Okay, so first of all... they moved. And I hunted them down like a contestant on Naked and Afraid looking for fresh road kill. That's how important they are to me and our community. Secondly... Jeremy and the team have always been professional, interested in my needs, and super helpful. Most recently, I brought my dog with me and the boys welcomed her like one of their own. They set my daughter up with everything she needs and Kyle took care of us like family. I can see him having his own shop one day, he's that good. In a world of corporate conglomerations, it's so great to have this mom-n-pop / dude shop around the corner. The value alone is worth the trip, but the service is the icing on the cake. 5 Stars, Jeremy! thank you! read more

Best board shop in the South Bay! The owner Jeremy is awesome, definitely would recommend. read more

My girlfriend and I visited this place awhile back in March for snowboarding equipments. It was our first time and completely know nothing but with the help of Jeremy and Trent we felt more confident tackling this new interest. Customer Service was outstanding and very helpful our needs. They are very knowledgeable and took time to tune our newly bought gear to perfection! The store has a vast variety of snowboard boots, snow board, and bindings, and other gear ensuring there is something for everyone. We highly recommended this place 10/10 read more

Rafa was very helpful, friendly, and attentive, we appreciated all his help and hope to see him again!

Love this shop and the crews working there. Always helpful and informative. Support your local board shops!Hours are limited in the off season but worth the visit. read more

This is the best snowboard shop. It is a small hole in the wall with great products, great prices, and even better employees. I went at a time that the store was packed and the employee, who I believe his name was Tyler, was attentive to all of us and was able to get the perfect product for me. He treated me with respect patience and was not pushy. The snowboarding boots were affordable and staff looked out for my best interest and wallet. Will definitely be back! Highly recommend! read more

Fantastic and quick service. One of the best experiences I've had. Cant beat the price and the complimentary wax was the icing on the cake. Cant wait to get my new snowboard out this season. read more

I absolutely love Olympus Board Shop! Jeremy helped me with my new setup and was incredibly knowledgeable when it came to picking out the right board for my needs and skill level. I ended up sizing down my board, and he also helped dial in the perfect placement for my bindings. The difference in my riding is unbelievable--I can turn and carve through the snow so much more easily now. I went with a Never Summer Proto Synthesis and absolutely love it. I'll definitely be coming back for my next setup! Highly recommend this shop! read more

Walked in at about 3:05 pm needing help to replace my bindings. Out at 3:45 with nice, brand new bindings on. No B.S. They have excellent, professional service with expertise that can't be found anywhere. I highly, highly recommend them and have been going there for years. Note: there are two shops, one for rentals and repairs and one for purchases. Owner is amazing. read more

Jeremy and team are absolutely awesome to work with! Not only did they have the bindings I was looking for in my size (sold out everywhere), Jeremy still worked with me on pricing to make sure I was able to make it happen, and took the time to walk me though everything and set them up for my boot size before shipping them to me! Great family shop, great people, and great service! Will absolutely continue doing business with them! read more

IMPORTANT: Olympus has a rental/tuning shop location (address as posted) located next to Scardino's as well as a SECOND seasonal retail location located next to Shakey's Pizza and Rascal's! I love to see that this small business is growing! They never try to upsell me, everyone is really cool and honest, and the new retail store has awesome gear. Please check the website out for pricing for rentals or tunes. The retail store has a lot of snowboard gear for the space and they plan on adding even more. They said they don't plan on staffing the retail shop in the summer but you can call the rental location if you need something special. Bottom Line: Will be back in October to get my next tune up and probably get a new pair of gloves! Please support this small business! read more

Met up with the owner on FB Marketplace. Had no idea he's been a Board Hop shop owner for almost two decades. I love this aspect and went ahead with buying a new deck from him. He went out of his way to have my board brought up to Mammoth by one of his long time customers that I met up with my first day up there. I highly recommend using this shop and will do so for all my needs going forward in the future. A+ old school customer service and can say I'm a new super stoked customer read more

This place is a gem! Kyle helped set my wife and I up with new bindings and a board. He was well versed in the difference of each style and helped us find the right fit for our style of riding. Kyle and the owner were both very friendly and knowledgeable. The prices were so much better than competitors as well. We'll be coming back to Olympus for our snowboarding needs! Thank you! read more

I just have to say that this place has an amazing environment. The staff, the owner, amazing. I also have to say all the great options to choose from, boards, boots, bindings. To top it off they price match the items for you to ensure if you get a certain percentage off ! Me and my husband will be coming here from now on to shop for snowboard gear ! read more

Great shop, service was amazing and snowboard rentals are a lot cheaper than up on the mountain. Shoutout to Adam for hooking me up with a great board and Kevin for putting my bindings on. Would definitely recommend for anyone looking to rent a snowboard for a couple days read more

I recommend this place because I love snowboarding, surfing, skateboarding, foil boarding, the crew at Olympus is the most amazing team you'll find at any board shop, and yeah, I own the place:) read more

Friendly and professional stuff! Answer all my questions and provide wide array of boards to choose for my progression with snowboarding! Give recommendations about my thoughts and needs! Good price for inventory. Owner was a kind and swap my new Nidecker's bindings to larger size (my friends messed up with this HB present). Highly recommend this shop and will by my next board here! read more

Super cool spot to rent out a board. They have some of the best gear and great service. I went in for a missing screw on my bindings and I was helped out without hesitation. Would recommend 100%. read more

I was so disappointed with owner of this place. I went there to do my son's board for waxing and informed to pick it up next day or ex $10 extra for same day service. so l preferred to get it next day service. When i got home my son found out this place opens at 12 noon which is not workable for my son's trip. I called the shop to check if 12 is their opening time and it was right. So i asked them what time it will be done if i want same day service. Young man who works there kindly said it will be done around 7p. I asked him i will pick it up at 7p. But my son called not to wax it for $20, will do tomm with $10 at elsewhere opens early in the morning. So I called the shop to cancel same day service 2 min later after the 1st call with young guy works their and drove there to pick the board up. The owner said if it is already waxed I have to pay for wax which doesn't make any sense at all. I complained to the owner this board was dropped off 10 min ago for next day service and called to change to same day service then 2 min later called again to cancel it How can it be done when i canceled the service unless the owner wanted money no matter what customer wanted. He even kept me standing there over 5 min to finish up the wax. They could tell me if it was already started for waxing when I called them to cancel. It means he started the job after i called to cancel service, Why??? At the end he said don't pay and never come back to this place again. Of course NOT! I wouldn't go there ever again. What a experience. The owner of this place is so rude and mean also greedy and sarcastic but employee was very kind and friendly. A proof of picture shows time I called this shop is attached. read more

I can't say enough good things about this place!! It's totally worth making the drive. The staff were knowledgeable and so patient, answered all of my questions and made sure that I was getting the best board for what I needed! They go above and beyond to make sure you're getting the best of the best. Prices are great too, just can't recommend this place enough. read more

Love this shop!! Ive been snowboarding for thirty years and I have never had as great of an experience in a board shop as this place. Trent spent literally two hours pulling boards alongside Jeremy, the shop owner, while we talked about all things riding. Trent is the real deal, so knowledgeable and ready to help and super patient. One thing I loved while I was there was that there were at least three new people buying their first boards and Trent gave them just as much attention and help as he did me. He was bouncing all over the store and doing an amazing job for everyone there. No vibes at all whatsoever, just great service. Their inventory is INSANE. Literally all the best boards on the market, no exaggeration. If they don't have it you don't want it. Also being late season I got a sweet deal, so you're out of excuses, this place is great, head in and get hooked up! read more

TL;DR: Olympus Board Shop has got to be the best kept secret for snowboarding and ski gear in LA. Huge selection of boots and boards from the top-tier manufacturers. The BEST part is the advice and setup you are offered. Olympus absolutely nailed it, and the proof was how perfectly everything worked and rode on a week-long trip. Backstory: needed solid boots for a 5'11 180# improving snowboarder, for trip to Utah. Went through options from Nidecker, Salomon, Nitro and worked through all the pros & cons of each with insights both Jeremy and Brick. Boots & bindings adjusted to function with ease. Ended up buying an incredible pair of Nidecker boots - warm, great fit, stiffness and feel - thanks to the accurate recommendations we received. The minimal d-rubbing was ideal. Note, they have 2 locations, the snowboard & rental site is next to Shakey's Pizza on Torrance Blvd. read more

Editing a previous review following wonderful costumer service! I've brought my board in here several times for waxing and have always had a great experience. Staff is very friendly! I recommend my bf rent a board from here to try out snowboarding with me. He had an issue with a binding strap that needed to get replaced on the mountain, there was a miscommunication about getting this reimbursed so Jeremy reached out to assist and got it taken care of. We will definitely be returning, thanks Jeremy!! read more

Amazing place to go get your snowboard gear one of the best parts of the place it's the rental prices for snowboarding too if you don't want to spend all that money on gear. The owner is nice and very helpful so before your next trip to the mountain stop by here you won't regret it. read more

My initial experience was at a private event where staff waxed boards for a fee at private winter party. Getting your board waxed at a party just as the resorts opened was the perfect snow stoke! Recently I got my gear ready and needed a special plate to fit Burton bindings on a non-Burton board. After spending an hour trying to fit the bindings I looked up Burton bindings and realized I had the wrong plate. A phone call later I was on my way to Olympus to pick up the proper discs to fit my board. When I showed up they were preparing snow rental gear for customers and were ultra busy. The gentleman outside took a couple minutes to check out my issue and immediately knew what I needed. A couple of minutes later he had the proper hardware I needed including plates, screws and washers to fit my Burton bindings on my Arbor board. (see pic!) While I waited I noticed they have legit looking snow rental gear (Arbor brand boards) for adults and kids at reasonable rental prices. A quick peek at their website and I was impressed to learn they also have snow clothing! Wow! Thank you Olympus Board shop for being more than just snow stoke! read more

Olympus Board Shop - My drama over! Thank you Olympus for helping me fit Burton bindings to my Arbor board! Olympus had the proper plate available! - Ski & Snowboard Shops Near Me - Torrance, California

I can't say enough good things about the staff here! I'm a beginner snowboarder and they took the best care of me. The owner took the time to help correct my riding stance and listed out an assortment of snowboard options for my preferred riding style. They took care of mounting my bindings, installing stomp pads, and waxing the board. They genuinely cared about my experience on the mountain. I will be a returning customer :) read more

At a time where there are no board or ski shops in LA Olympus is an oasis and a treasure. Being a skier for over 50 years who used to do his own tuning I can confirm they do a great job. I only wish I was a boarder as their selection of boards is off the charts. The owner Jeremy is a beacon of positivity and knowledge. They have the new cutting edge board bindings. Recently I bought a Black Project paddle for paddleboarding and absolutely love it. He even let me take it for a test spin. I can't recommend this business enough. Looking forward to their new location on Palos Verdes Blvd! read more

Olympus Board Shop is THE best place to go with your stand up paddle-board and snowboarding needs. The staff here is very knowledgeable about all the gear that they sell, rent and repair. Ask Jeremy about any snowboard's camber or flex and he will fill your head with so much knowledge about the board you would think he built it himself. Need a quick tune-up before hitting up Mammoth or Bear they do board tune ups and repairs. Check them out. read more

There aren't shops like this anymore. Small, cozy, and the service is very good (boss is watching!) which is great. Got a groupon for a tune up of my Capita snowboard and I asked them about a Burton board that has the bottom layer half stripped off. They sent it to the "expert" who called me back saying it would cost $50+ to epoxy/glue it back. I said no and will end up hanging the old board on the wall but the option is there. They might actually be able to fix the unfixable boards. Dropped the boards off and picked them up in a few days. Same day is costlier. The have a good selection of Union bindings (the new models, same price as online) and mostly Salomon boots but i think a few other brands as well. Boots are better tried in store. Tons of boards and a few basic accesories. (no helmets) I would definitely bring my board back here for tuning next time. read more

I've rented snowboard gear from these guys about 3 times and they make the process extremely easy ! Once they have your information down from your first rental, they keep it on file so next time you can just give them a call to reserve and they'll have it ready on your desired pick up date. Just a heads up, you do have to pay over the phone when you make the reservation . The staff there are knowledgeable, helpful, and efficient ! Only thing is if they could update their COVID hours on Yelp, that would be nice. Their updated hours are on their website, but I did check Yelp first and went with that. When I went to pick up and drop off my rentals at around 11:30-11:45 AM, I had to wait a bit until they opened up noon. Not a big deal though! I've never had a problem with them otherwise and would definitely recommend them ! read more
