    After 20 years of not skateboarding, I decided to pickup skateboarding again. I stopped in Surf and Skate on Thursday April 30th to purchase a skateboard. I was greeted by Sonny as soon as I walked in who was super cheerful and eager to help me. I wanted to build my own board instead of buying a complete one like how I did when I was younger. Sonny was really helpful and knowledgeable and helped me picked out the right size board 8.5 and correct wheels for my skating goals. She also recommended the reds bearings which I loved because they spin super fast. We came back the next day May 1st with my 7 year old daughter and she picked out her own board too. Sonny was really patient with her and helped her pick out and build her board as well. Sonny was also the only employee working and had 4 other customers inside the store but was doing an awesome job job multitasking. I work in management and I could tell how passionate and knowledgeable Sonny was. I was impressed with her customer service skills. My daughter and I built a closer bond thanks to skateboarding and been skating everyday ever since! THANK YOU SONNY! She deserves a raise!

    I love this place!!! The original owner still works here, giving the best service and knowledge available! I started coming to this store 30 years ago, and it was the best shop back then! Now it's absolutely legendary!!!! This store and its soulful vibes has a deep place in my heart and soul, and it gives me great pleasure and joy to simply walk in through the front doors. When Bob is there to welcome me in, it's like I just stepped into a magical realm or alternate universe. Bob was with all the greats.....Hawk, Caballero, McGill, Hosoi, the legends! He's humble and sees people eye to eye, and provides the best service and style this side of the hemisphere! Never will there be another store like Surf N Skate!

    Just being in the store is an uplifting experience, Bob is one of the friendliest people you'll ever meet! Lots of quality items that will last. Worth the money!

    Came in today to get trucks, hardware and wheels for my deck for my son. ( Rip N Dip ) the yellow tape on the floor . Also, bought a cruising board for myself. Thank You, to the young man that helped with putting together the Rip N Dip board! You are very much appreciated! Associate was super helpful and courteous.

    Bob was extremely helpful and knowledgeable teaching my son about the various components of a skateboard and how to choose one.

    I love this store and am so glad we have a Big5 here in town. The staff are always helpful whether…read moreyou are shopping, buying, and/or returning. We opt for Big5 over other places because you can find great prices here. Dick's Sporting Goods has a significantly vast selection however the prices can be through the roof. Thank you, Colton! Thanks Lance! Thanks Louis!

    I am 45 years old, Big 5 has been around my entire life. Customer service used to be amazing,…read more. The entire store but especially loved the shoe department. They would help fit you, help you find the best shoe for your needs, check the fit.. The works. In recent years it's changed but today was the WORST. I took my 16 year old in who has scoliosis and different lengths in her legs which causes bad pain. She's at the age where her feet are done growing so time to get some good quality shoes. I expected service like it used to be, I expected to be helped. What I got instead was a rude teen? Early 20s punk who could care less about giving actual customer service. Ask for a recommendation on a good walking shoe? Response "I don't know check the wall". Ask if they have a size of a shoe "I brought out a bunch in her size, that's what we have" ... Yet he claimed he would check the back if I had any questions.. Guess he changed his mind? Part of me wishes I would have just walked out and checked elsewhere but again MY DAUGHTER IS IN PAIN WHILE WALKING so I didn't want to drag her store to store. My husband used to go in yearly for his New Balance update,.. When we got home and mentioned it to him he was "this is why I stopped going... And just use A@azon". I know times have changed in recent years but to me it's sad that a previous amazing store known for good service no longer cares. At this rate I don't know if they are the next old school business that will be the next one extinct.

    Very well stocked! Friendly, helpful and courteous sales personnel especially Marcel the manager…read moreand cashier Melanie! Location is right across KP Int'l on Folsom but be aware, lots of trees hide the sign to the store!

    Easy one here. Went in last week to buy a couple items for my wife's bday... no one in the store…read moreexcept for the register person. Grab a couple items totaling around 65 bucks, cashier is very friendly and cool. Turns out the back massager thing I bought was broken ($49.99 listed on the box) and the gloves I grabbed she already had stashed at her gym ($14.99). Didn't really anticipate issues (I should have assumed their items are broken I guess) so the receipt was discarded. Didn't think anything of it since every store ever will give you store credit if you don't have the actual paper receipt. Nope... wife goes to return the gifts for store credit and see if there's anything in there she wants with the 65ish dollars I paid. They give her a gift card with $29.00 on it... called them and apparently if you return anything w/o a receipt the items automatically revert to the LOWEST sale price they've EVER had on that item so #1 the (broken) massager is marked up like crazy and #2 they literally have the items on their floor that show the price point they're currently marked at that particular location. Bought the stuff less than a week ago, main item was broken, zero attempt at customer service... 35 bucks isn't going to ruin anyone but the principal of thing is a killer for me especially considering brick and mortar retail is dying and Big 5 is already fully outclassed by Dicks and wayyy out-convenienced by Amazon. I already felt like I was doing them a favor by not utilizing those other options.... TLDR - worst return policy ever (and one i've literally never seen anywhere else), not helping your company survive
