    We rented bikes from Ray's Rental spontaneously with our two dogs. The friendly staff at the shop was incredibly helpful, and the pricing was very reasonable for a half-day rental. We paid $18 per bike, which included the dog trailer and a lock for just three dollars. After some research, we discovered that it was a better deal than some of the other rental places in the area on Balboa Island. The bikes were well-maintained and in great condition. We highly recommend Ray's Rental if you're in the area.

    Rays rentals was so easy to rent from. We got a Surrey bike for the 4 of us for a good price to ride around Newport! It was the weekend of Labor Day and they still had a bunch to rent. The location is so convenient on the peninsula! Will definitely be back.

    It would have been great if the business mentioned before or during the booking that they put $150/bike hold on your card... Ridiculous! There are way too many other rental shops around to put up with this nonsense. Just walk across the street... 2 stars only because the cashier girl was nice.

    It's difficult to understand a business that doesn't strive to be COVID compliant and ultimately so haphazard with cleanliness and safety at this time! First, the employee was not wearing a mask. When I arrived she was close to other customers. She said she didn't have to wear a mask. Ok, so just F all of the customers then. However, my BIGGEST GRIPE is that I literally wiped what is probably mucus (boogers!) off of the kid bike seat before we got onto the bike. I could visibly see it and then began to wipe. I just couldn't believe the filth of that bike seat... especially during these times! I am not the type of yelper to take pictures and post with my review, but honestly, I will never use them again and really caution all who are concerned with spreading disease to avoid them at all costs. Oh, but the prices were good. -_- I'd pay double to feel like mine and my child's well-being were at least worth consideration.

    This place was awesome! The guy working was super friendly and the bikes were perfect. Rode from Newport to Huntington and back. Best part of our vacation!

    You can see the stain the bike left on my shorts :/

    This was my first time renting bikes from this place and I would not recommend it to anyone. I noticed the bikes weren't very pleasant looking when we arrived but since we just wanted to get a bike ride in without having to find parking again at another place we just settled for this spot (big mistake). Also asked for beach cruisers and they charge extra for the basket to be on it. My boyfriend also mentioned that his brakes didn't work well throughout the ride. I don't think they clean the bikes or check them at all which is very inconsiderate and gross, my shorts got stained from the seat.

    Cruiser for small people.  Thanks Ray!

    A big personal thank you to Ray for carrying a beach cruiser small enough for my 4' 5" friend could fit on so she could ride Sunday. It's hard to find a place that has small cruisers or bikes for height challenged people. I could tell from the new-ish condition of the bike that it was not rented often. And another big personal thank you to Ray for only charging her $12.00 for the day. I thought this price was too low to be true--I was expecting that when she returned it, Ray would tell her, "Oh, it's only $12.00 if you don't get the tires dirty--now it's $30 because we have to clean the tires." And a final big personal thank you to Ray for staying open until 8pm! to return the bike so that we could enjoy the long day. Ray gave up his dinner with family to be there for us and we appreciate it! They did not have the free cold water when she Yelp checked in, so they only charged? her $1.00 instead of $3.00 for the use of a basket. (I would have just given her the basket.) We will be back if in the area to ride again. Note to Ray: Restock Yelp check-in water bottles.

    We went to this shop cause we saw an ad on Craigslist for used beach cruisers. I called ahead of time and sure enough they were still in stock. Jon was super helpful in helping us decide which bikes we wanted to choose. He was kind enough to install hand brakes for my bike and even oiled up our bikes for us. This a friendly and affordable place! Thanks again Jon, you're the best!

    The girl helping us was very patient and helpful. We rented rollerblades and found that the rentals saw that they were sanitizer and clean.

    Ordered a life jacket that was on sale for $24.98 via the Dick's app. I was going paddle boarding…read morethat day so I set the pick-up location for Newport Beach since I'd be out there later. I went on July 3rd around 1 pm so parking was horrendous. I parked near Barnes & Nobles and took the escalator down to the store. Before I entered the store I checked my order on my phone and noticed I got the wrong size. I walked in and didn't see a sign for online pick-up orders so just went to a register with a cashier. I walked up to them (there was young employee and an older employee having a conversation at the register) and let them know I was there to pick up an online order and the guy at the register looked up my order. As he was doing that, I informed him that I would need to exchange it for a large/extra large and he said sure. He went to grab my online order from the wall, came back and handed it to me and said have a good day and began busying himself with something else. I stood there for a few seconds and asked him if he could please let me know where these life jackets were located because I need to exchange it for a bigger size (second time letting him know this). He then said it was in the back corner and pointed to the back corner. Where it fell short for me is that I let him know I would need to exchange it and either it didn't clock for him to fulfill my request by going and getting the larger size and bringing it back to the register OR he straight up ignored my request and didn't want to go get it. I'm going to say he straight up ignored my request and didn't want to go get it. At that point, I would rather just pick my online order up from a Amazon locker type contraption, go to the back and get the correct sized life jacket, then exchange it and self-checkout myself. I'm against getting rid of humans for jobs, but if the in-person experience is worse than dealing with a computer screen, then I would rather deal with the computer screen. Also, I realize this is a store that highers young people, but it's a branding issue if you don't have pride in training your employees to go above and beyond. In this case, it would have been taking a few extra steps to go get the life jacket size I needed, bringing it back to the register and completing an exchange. Not a crazy ask in my opinion, and it's a standard customer service request and it was not busy at all during this time. It could've been better and for the reason of parking being a little more stressful than other locations and poor customer service, I'd suggest going to another Dick's Sporting Goods or Big 5.

I traded in a fish, that was in clean condition, I bought a year earlier and they didn't try to upsell me or anything. I figured they'd give me $300 for a board I bought for $1250, but they credited a full $1050 for the trade. Highly respect how these guys do business. Almond has my business for all of my boards moving forward. Best in the biz.

    Let me start off by saying, I don't surf, but my husband was an avid surfer who surfed Cardiff,…read morespots in Mexico and big waves on Kauai, Hawaii. I've been looking for someone to re-glass his board that he got from Billy Hamilton. It was one of Billy Hamilton's personal longboards. It's extremely special to my husband, who was friends with Billy when we lived in Kauai,HI. That's how my husband was able to attain such a board. It has Billy's first label, Bear Boards on it. Priceless and a priceless friendship. So, what does this have to do with Almond Boards? It has to do with that surfer comradely spirit, that every surfer knows. It's about that wave, that once experienced, is told about and never forgotten. It's that wave that leads to the search for the next one. Did Almond Boards re-glass Billy's personal board? No, but they were kind enough to point to someone who had that expertise and remember the Bear. They also give tips for caring for your board on their website. Thank you, Almond Boards! You could have just shined me on, when I asked, but you didn't. You offered help you knew of, even a competitor. That's Aloha! .
