Tyler was great and was able to arrange an appointment quickly. Very knowledgeable and was able to help me decide if the board I was looking at would have enough float and fit into the quiver of boards I already owned. A friend and I both walked out with 6'4" Retro Fish Twin Fins and are pretty stoked to get in the water with them. I was so impressed with the service that I am writing this review 1 hour post purchase. Thanks Tyler and thanks Solana Surfboards ! read more

The high reviews are spot on for this shop. Make sure that if you go on the weekend that you call and setup an appointment as they are open for walk ins during the week but during the weekend you need to setup an appointment. Even so I was able to get a last minute surf board tutorial and figured out the best board for me. Tony is the best person to explain the details of a board, to a beginner like me, and was a very warm person to interact with (extremely patient and answered all questions). Their boards are high quality and also high value. I got the epoxy 7' 6" fun board and am loving it! Highly recommend this shop. read more

I don't know where to begin with raves for Tony and Solana. There are plenty of surfboard shops in NorCal, but I found Solana through Yelp and I'm a believer in 5 * Yelp reviews. I wanted to surprise our daughter with a serious upgrade from her trusty 7.6 Surf Tech Foamie. I combed through their mission statement, specs on various boards, and the quality and value offered through their direct manufacturing/sales became clear. By email I shared daughter's surfing experience and skill level, where she'd be using the board (Monterey). I wanted something she could handle, but would also grow with her. Tony helped me match the perfect board style and length for her skills and conditions. Once the board was selected (Tuesday) turn-around time time was tight, but Tony offered to drop the board off at the local Fed-Ex hub rather than wait for pick-up. The board was in NorCal by noon TWO days later from San Diego and on our truck Thursday night for the college move. The new 7.6 fiberglass Gray Pinline Hybrid Surfboard isn't even on the web-site yet, but we got us one! It's a beauty; impeccable construction and finish, comparable to much more expensive "big name' boards, and my daughter is beyond psyched. Customer service and personal attention was outstanding. Just a great experience all around. read more

Couldn't have been a better experience. Setting up an appointment was easy, Tony took the time to answer all of my questions and seemed genuinely interested in helping me pick out the right board(not just the most expensive one). I bought a 7' egg for someone and a 7'4 hybrid for myself. Both are working out really well and I can definitely see myself buying more boards from these guys in the future. read more

bought a epoxy 7'4 from tony, this is the best board i have ever rode, super fast , flys down the line , super lite. i would recommend their epoxy boards to all, the board bag however is pretty weak one size fits all, i regret buying that. read more

I enjoyed working with Solana Surfboards. They have a great prices and they back up their product. A fin box cracked open while surfing one day shortly after purchasing the board. Tony acknowledged the flaw, replaced the board for me and got me surfing the next day. I couldn't ask for better customer service. I currently have two boards that I purchased from him and I really enjoy both of them and both are holding up really well. I talked a friend into buying a fish from Tony and it's now his favorite board. Great service and great prices. You can't go wrong. read more

Full disclosure up front: I have known Anthony since he was a little kid and I was a little bigger kid. He is a big-hearted and sincere person, and he has translated that into fantastic customer service and a high-quality product that is also his passion. You could not buy a surfboard from someone who cares more about giving you the best advice, service and product. And I say this as a surfer of more then 30 years who has gone through at least 100 boards, probably more, in my life. While I may lust for that early 1980s Malcolm Campbell Bonzer or that early 1960s Greg Noll Coffin (mess of a board, actually, but it brings back memories), I only buy boards i will actually ride from Anthony now. He built me an amazing epoxy 9'6" take on a performance log that weighs less then some of my shortboards and a 6'4" quad fish that just flies. He is also willing to take on odd projects, like building an epoxy take on a classic Santa Barbara kneeboard for a half-man friend up there; not many kneeboarders left but my friend rips and has been for longer then I have been alive. Shades of Greenough. And Anthony is willing to take on the project and see what comes of it. Whether you are a beginner or, like me, "experienced", Anthony will take the time to understand what interests you, how you intend to use a board, and then talk through various options for however long it takes you to decide on something. And then you can come back and tweek whatever you get the next time. I, for example, intend to have him make me a 6' Bonzer/fish take on a 5 fin set up i have in a Sunset board Malcolm Campbell made for me years ago at 7'6". Anyway, enough geeking out on boards. Anthony will get you on something that fits and you will feel good about supporting his business. Guaranteed. read more

I got first contact with Tony through email. He was very quick to reply. After that I set up an appointment with him in his shop. Great contact, Tony spent time to explain me the boards, speak about the different spots. I bought the 6'6 single fin. I'm an intermediate surfer (205lb). The board was great, easy to paddle and very easy to turn. Great board! After 3 weeks, I still have no dings on the board. I asked additional question through email to Tony after I bought the board, and he was very keen to give me additional advises on different surf spots. Thanks! read more

I was told in May that it would take six to eight weeks to receive a funboard I wanted to order from Solana Surfboards. I needed some extra thickness in a surfboard because of my weight, and had to special order it. Tony told me that it could take as long as ten weeks, which I was willing to do. I now learn that the board won't be available until August or September, a wait of four to five months, which is disappointing. I would recommend only buying surfboards this company has available in their shop. I ended up buying an additional surfboard so that I could surf while I wait for the one I ordered. read more

Tony was prompt on setting up an appointment that worked with my schedule. At the appointment he was prepared with some ideas from a basic background I provided for him. There was a large selection of boards for all different skill levels and desires. He was so thorough and patient with all questions , explanations and decisions. Tony even offered to keep the board I purchased as his shop until I was ready for since it was a surprise gift. We had an accidental miscommunication about the pick up time and without hesitation Tony stepped up and took care of the situation without a single complaint. Tony was so friendly and made me feel so comfortable through making this purchase. I highly recommend Tony and Solana Surfboards!! read more

I made an appointment 3 days ago with Tony to surprise my son with a birthday gift of his choice, so many to choose from. We found 2 that we both really liked, one being a longboard style and the other slimmed down egg shape. I thought the egg was what he needed so we bought it. Super inexpensive prices, well made boards, nice glass and shape. I paid $375 and I was almost paying that back in the 80's for boards then!! I also bought a board bag which is very well made and very inexpensive also. I searched around several different shops and this place is by far the best! His customer service goes beyond any shop I have ever encountered. The next day, I thought maybe I made the wrong choice of board for my son and contacted Tony. He was so unbelievably understanding and said that they do not normally exchange boards but he wanted my son to be stoked and would exchange it. I was pretty amazed and was not expecting that at all. As it turned out, Tony, my son and I thought we made the right choice initially and we kept the board. My son is super stoked!! Tony is awesome and knew exactly what would be best for my son. Solana Surfboards has 3 new customers for life, myself, my son that got this board and another son that will be getting his first board very soon. read more

bought the 6'10" single fin retro egg back in early 2015. love it. shockingly versatile board. excellent price for a brand new board. when i initially went to the showroom, the board i wanted wasnt there so i left empty handed... Tony emailed me and said he could have the board i wanted there the next day. I showed up and it was there... walked away stoked with a new board. read more
