My only actual purchasing I've done here was a Frisbee and bike pump last summer and I was…read morepleasantly surprised... You cannot overestimate the positive effect a new Frisbee will have on your capacity to throw well. In fact, you cannot overestimate the effect of a new Frisbee on your overall well being and self-esteem. I'd always persisted with those shitty discs you pick up at garages or toy shops and had never really had a crack on a good one. I don't like those 'fad' style discs either, you look like such a nerd throwing some bright pink triangle, no matter how far it'll go. But if you get a correctly weighted, Ultimate Frisbee, your game will be improved forever. You can hurl these things like weapons. I take pride in blasting some in around face or ankle height, just to freak people out. They stock these here for about $20. $20! That's a perfect birthday pressie right there yo.

Living in Australia it can feel as if there is a faintly sinister conspiracy to make recent…read morearrivals more athletic. "Play lawn bowls with me!", "Come for a run!", "Want to watch the rugby?" A) No. B) No. C) Maybe. But only if there's cider and/or the players are hot. That said, there is the occasional need for a sports shop. Or a sporting supermarket as Northcote's Sportsmart ostensibly is. Stocking a range of sportswear, sports gear and equipment from frankly huge premises just opposite the entrance to the Northcote Plaza. I may not know my sports but I can spot a ruddy good selection of tennis rackets when I see them and prices seem reasonable for some pretty premium gear. Quality runs the gamut from cheap and cheerful to egregiously expensive and nearly pro and Sportsmart stocks everything from children's swimming goggles to giant elliptical machines and the like. If you're into sports and you need anything sporty, Sportsmart is a - predictably - good bet.

Capacity Sports is a kayak and canoe specialist with a very big range of new and used kayaks (over…read more500 kayaks and other craft out the back). They were helpful and patient with me when I was asking about the features of the various kayaks. They have a system where you can hire a kayak to try it out and then have the hire price deducted from the final price (as long as you buy straight away). They are located on Bay Rd Highett so they are only about 3 kms from the beach. They have a useful range of accessories and have a bargain bin where you can find discounted oddments. I didnt buy my kayak there but I have bought accessories such as my life-jacket. They usually have a few discount specials on their website.

I had a great experience at Sportsco…read more Customer Service: I came here looking for jogging shorts was immediately greeted by David Hasselhoff himself. Okay, not really, but the employee who helped me out had that typical tan, ripped, handsome, Aussie surfer look about him. No, I didn't rate 4 stars just because he was good looking. He inspired me to want to get fitter and was very helpful with recommending several different jogging shorts I should buy based on my spending range as well as personal taste. Ambiance: This store is pretty tiny and everything seems fairly crowded, but don't let that deter you. Even though it's small, they still have a lot of options in stock (they just happened to make all the products squish together...) If you're looking for sports gear, try out Sportsco. The prices and customer service is without a doubt worth a look.

Inside there was a huge variety of colourful designed sneakers for all sporting needs whether basketball or running etc. I was greeted by staff and asked about what type of shoe i was looking for. They were helpful and genuinely knew about what shoes goes best. The store is located on bustling swanston street and usually has a lot going on so take a look around the store and someone will eventually get to seeing you.

The service is amazing - lovely salesperson Jess spent about 45 minutes helping me choose a running shoe and was cheerful and patient the whole time, even though she probably wanted to throw a shoe at my head.
