Just a couple of days and they were back to us with new tubes and tires and ready to roll. We now plan to bring our surfboards in for ding repair and tune up. It's great to have a friend with skills, parts and tools to hook us up and bring our gear up to standard. Great service at an affordable price. On my way back now to get our board dings repaired.

No one greeted us or asked if they could assist us the three times that we've been here. There were several employees working and they were too busy chit chatting and flirting with one another. One white employee only seemed to rush to help the white customers and walked past us and totally ignored us. They could all use some customer service training and learn how to treat paying customers. We did not feel welcomed here. I'll stick to Killer Dana from now on where they treat everyone equally with great customer service.

The manager Jack surf shop did accuse me of stealing when I didn't and followed me across the parking lot to tell me that

I was pleasantly surprised by how big the store was, yet how small it felt like an old school surf shop like the one I used to hang out at back in Venice and Santa Monica. Obviously the times have changed and the equipment has become better, and the prices have gore accordingly. One of the best things about the Catalyst shop besides the online customer support team, was how friendly and knowledge the staff was. They answered any questions I had about the new was of measuring surfboards... by Liters. I'm and American, and have no idea what the metric system is! Al kidding aside they explain it to me in a little more detail, and that was enough for me. Back to the point, the Catlayst shop on El Camino was a throwback to the 80s and 90s and in my old age, that is a huge compliment. Thanks. Shout out to Camden and Eric for their help more recently.

My custom board was received with multiple dings and scratches. They used foam wrap at the ends of the board which isn't sufficient at all when UPS is handling the delivery. They offered a measly $200 refund while they probably pocketed the rest of the UPS claim money for the board.
