I was blown away by East Coast Sports. I didn't have high expectations by a sporting goods store on…read morea resort island, but they carried everything imaginable for local recreational needs and prices were reasonable. I stopped by for an inexpensive cooler to carry some seafood home. They had the perfect cooler for only $5. The clerk was helpful and friendly. I looked at the surf supplies and another clerk immediately asked if I needed assistance. The fishing gear is unbelievable. And kayaks, they carry everything. I could have spent all day in there. They rent surf boards, paddle boards, bikes and sell fishing licenses and can even set up fishing charters. They are locally owned. They offer free parking. I'll be back on my next visit to Surf City.

This is an incredible find in Surf City…read more The amount of gear they have for fishing is beyond belief. Fishing is big business but in this area and this is a store to go to. I am a novice and was asking some questions about what would work and what is running and what type of equipment would I need to begin a new hobby, on the bays, shore fishing and maybe someday kayak fishing. The staff were helpful and knowledgeable and I was impressed with the entirety of the store. They also have a large selection of clothing and hats upstairs. Good prices good time.

This place just needs to go ahead and close. It's nearly empty of merchandise, although they have…read moreplenty of the t-shirts. The people who work there act bothered by customers. Don't waste your time.

Unfortunately my helicopter on a stick flew onto the top of the building and was lost for good. I then found out that I was scammed by said establishment. On Amazon you can get 100 of them for $9.99.

It was off tourist season when I decided I needed some postcards for the local community. The first…read moreseveral places that came to mind were my local CVS and grocery store. After striking out Tsunami Surf Shop came to mind. Although I'm not a tourist to this area the shop was the perfect location for the purchase I wanted to make. This shop had dozens of postcards to choose from that had current pictures of the area. The price was more than reasonable so I bought some extra cards while I was there. Being that it was not the main tourist season there were no crowds to deal with. To be perfectly honest I was a little surprised they were open in December. I had always thought it closed down during the winter months Thanks for having just what I was looking for. 2023/ #4

This shop is right off the beach, which makes it great for renting a surf board. They carry a…read moredecent amount of surf products and natural products and usually have some sort of clothing sale rack going. The staff is young, but generally happy to be there. The only issue is that their website says they have half-day board rentals, but we were told when we got there that they do not do that.

Not sure if it's even there anymore, but my brother and I took advantage of it for sure during some nights when our parents dropped us off and went shopping. They probably have the best selection on the island and have an awesome selection of surf and body board leashes. The only problem was the past time I went I wanted a wetsuit, but they were all sold out and hadn't ordered new stock with it being mid April. Understandable, but I was bummed that I couldn't give them my business.

He started her out with all of the knowledge she needed before they ever got in the water, which calmed her nerves. Once they got in, she did fantastic & made it up on the first run.

Spencer put a LOT of effort into pulling her & making her experience so great. Would definitely take more lessons if we had the time.
