I bought everything from a doormat, shades, hats, shirts, patches and a squirt gun for summer that every adult and kid will be jealous of ;) My favorite part of this shop is they have tribute items for some of our Navy SOF fallen heroes, all the proceeds go to the family! Don't sleep on this shop, give them a peep, I promise you will find something you like and be stoked you did!

Once we got out in the water, I was a little nervous, but Mitch knew exactly what tips to give me to help me feel more confident and safe on the board & in the water. I had such an awesome time out there!!! Thanks Mitch!

After 40 years of surfing, I thought I'd seen everything a surf shop could offer. Bird's proved me…read morewrong. I came in looking for a new board and was fortunate enough to work directly with Bird himself. From the moment we started talking, it was clear this wasn't going to be a typical retail experience. He took real time to understand what boards I currently ride and -- more importantly -- what I'm actually trying to get out of a new one. Patient, knowledgeable, and completely free of the condescension that can sometimes creep into shops like this. No ego, just genuine expertise. We narrowed it down to two models, and here's where Bird's went from great to extraordinary: rather than push me toward a decision, Bird offered to loan me one of his own personal boards to try out first. In four decades of surfing, no shop has ever made me that offer. Ever. This is what a surf shop should be. Highest possible recommendation.

Thank you to Bird and crew for all of your help finding my husband his first surfboard! Bird was…read morekind enough to demonstrate and give us a lesson in the back on how to surf. The value we got for the board where it came with a fin as well as getting guidance from a San Diego Surf Legend was incredible! We found a used board that was a perfect first board. It is so cool inside surrounded by so many surfboards with some being like a century old! You can tell that Bird and all staff are passionate about helping surfers as well as creating relationships. My husband absolutely loves his new board and is so excited to get out there to chase waves! We were really blown away by the experience by how kind everyone was as well as how encouraging and supportive they all were. Genuinely the best possible place we could have gone to when searching for a surfboard. We only have amazing things to say about Bird's Surf Shed and everyone who works there! We will definitely be back!

Since I saw it was a surf store, it thought they would have some Hurley hats. I was pushing my baby daughter in her stroller so this store does have enough room to push a stroller in. I didn't find any Hurley brand hats, it was only San Diego Surf hats which makes sense this is their store. I look at some of their tshirts here as well but nothing stood out to me. This store is also next to a nice duck pond so if you're lucky, you'll see some ducks hanging out there and swimming

We're on vacation, but to each their own guys.. I was looking for pins that I try to collect when we travel somewhere. I love to stick them in the roof of my car. If I can find one I think is special enough or reminds me of something we also picked up a hat, some sunglasses and a few other knickknacks. They had great sandal options as well as T-shirts and hoodies. Great stop. I come every time we visit. Prices are affordable while they do have some things more on the expensive side it is good quality. So I'd say you get nice things for the value they offer.
