The team is legit so sweet here! I'm def getting a board here. They have a pretty decent amount of…read morestuff for it being a smaller location. The team members are very hands on and sociable w shoppers. Feels like u have a friend who knows basically everything about what you need and want in a board. They have snowboards and skateboards plus some small gear things tbh I'm new so don't ask for details as to what. Anyways if ur new or experienced I think this is a great place to go! Rn they have a 30% off on snowboarding stuff so def take advantage (without stealing stuff in my size ofc) def an average cost on new gear and good prices on used. Only 50$ for my 1 day rental on board, binding, boots and personalized for my ride style (80$ at Steven's and soooo uncozy ) Okay that's all I have to say enjoyyy

They're the best board shop ever than I went, and also they let me bought some wheels that they…read moretold me that are very slighty and very easy to slide

The new selection is bigger but still small enough to clear your way through entirely in about thirty minutes. Their rap section was bigger than most stores thrice BMS' size and, again, was very well curated. If you go to the store and come out without having seen anything you want to purchase, you probably need to reassess your musical taste. I wish we'd have dropped in earlier so I could have checked out the hoodie and clothes section. It looked rad.

My first visit to NB Alderwood to buy a pair of podiatrist recommended walking shoes was a success…read moreand a pleasure. I was helped by Jay, who was knowledgeable and patiently helped me find the right size and width. The store has a good selection of shoes, and I was helped immediately.

I have an old prone Paddleboard I had tried for a few years to get some work done on. I could never…read moreget anyone they works on boards to even call me back. Surf Ballard took up the challenge and exceeded expectations. I had wanted to get 2 fin bays on the bottom replaced with larger fin bays and have one installed on top for a water bottle holder. The traction pad was really old and there had been some amateur patch work done right next to it. Also the nose and tail were pretty beat up and looked like some other amateur patch work had been done there. I had hoped they would be able to do all of this but they couldn't. They had the foresight and did due diligence by contacting the original shaper and found out that the fin bay installation would not have been supported by the internal structure. So disappointed they couldn't do it but stoked they found out before cutting in and destroying the board. They were able to take care of everything else and I heard the old traction pad was a b&tch to get off but they did a great job and for a great price. See before and after pictures.

If you're prepared to carry your own kayak rental by wheeling it from the site, across the street,…read moreacross the beach parking lot, down the steps and onto the beach and load yourself in, this place is for you. I'm not used to having to do everything myself. What is even more disturbing is that, they do mention as part of the directions, if you have difficulty carrying it, especially if you have back problems and such, no staff member can help you. There's also no staff at the beach to help in anyway. We got there at 440 pm which is ten min later than our appointment at 430, only to be told we had to wait for our kayaks to be cleaned after we struggled to find parking. For the time it took to wait for the kayaks to be cleaned, to the transport back and forth, if you want more time on the water for the buck, go somewhere else like Moss Bay or WAC or even Greenlake. If you are late in returning it, it is $1 per minute.
