In fact, one time I really needed some Futures fins during a swell and couldn't make it to the shop for a while so Charlie offered advice over the phone to decide on my best size and arranged to meet up with me near my local surf break one early morning-how can you beat that for customer service?! When I walk into MSU one thing that pops into my brain is "quality" - good brands and well made products that you may need to pay a little more for at times, but will last. Haven't bought a board here, but am always curious what they have for shapes-they don't offer a huge selection of multiple racks full of boards but I like that they stock USA made quality options and they update on social media board orders arriving to give you a sense of what's available. Also offer some surf books, local coffee and local craft beer to go.

A couple things: I am not a surfer and I do not live in Maine…read more This being said, this store is very cool. It offers a carefully curated selection of items you NEED as a surfer (wax, rashguards, swimsuits, board leashes, etc.) coupled with things that straddle the line between a need and a want (books, beautiful towels, insulated cups, Maine-made backpacks, bags, and wallets to name just a few). Many of the items are USA made and some are even Maine-made and made in Portland. The people working there seemed very knowledgeable about surfing in Maine and worldwide. I was listening to one provide seasonal travel advice for following waves and a budget to another customer. I didn't detect a trace of snark as anyone's questions were being answered, whether of not those questions were surfing-related. Very welcoming and helpful staff and nice selection of goods!

Customer service also leaves much to be desired. When I politely asked about a military discount--something many businesses choose to honor--the response I received was, 'this isn't Applebee's.' As a Purple Heart recipient, I found that dismissive and unprofessional. There are much better ways to address veterans than with sarcasm. Also for the majority of their firearm prices it's about 100-250 dollar markup from the majority of other shops in Maine.

Outstanding. Like, seriously, you can tell the people that work here are passionate about guns, and…read moresafety and all around education about guns. I did come with my cousin, who owns a few guns. So as far as renting guns from Howell's, I don't know. I do know you can. But cost, and paperwork, I don't know. Now, for my experience. First we gave our drivers license, and we had to sign a document which we scanned the QR code and initialed the appropriate areas. Then we watched a short video on gun safety. You do need to wear protective eye wear and earplugs and ear head ware too. My little ear plugs kept falling out. I have small ears. So I wore the head ear ware. We were given a lanyard that said range 2 lane 7. We went in our room and found our lane. We were the only ones there. We did rent the lane for 1 hour. You can choose whatever time you need. Between me and my cousin, an hour was plenty of time. A little about me. I'm scared of guns. I don't have arm muscles. I'm like nervous about the kick back, I mean, all the things. I did once shoot a riffle with L.L. Bean years ago. So I know a little, but not enough, and still scared. This isn't pop pop like you see on tv, this is a full blown bang bang. Bob! Oh my word. That man, you know he's passionate. He had so much patience with me, and gave such great instructions. No complicated words and gun lingo. He was just an outstanding human being. He watched me so carefully, he gave instructions on how to hold the gun. My thumbs needed to be like stacked side by side. And he would watch me shoot, then he said, okay, looks like your grip is good, but try twisting your left wrist upward a little, and I would do it, and sure enough, I shot better. I was getting a lot of kick back and my little girly arm muscles just started to fatigue, so he said, try leaning in a little with your whole upper body. I mean, everything he said just made me better and better. He was so kind in his directions, I felt so comfortable and more relaxed as I was learning and learning more. And as I changed my grip, or my stance, and making sure I lined up the 3 dots, and keep everything level, and breathe, and squeeze the trigger. I was getting better with practice and not feeling so nervous. And really, Bob just made me feel more relaxed. I had my cousin to guide me as well, and Bob, so I felt like I had a great support team during my hour. My cousin, dang, he was good. But he's been shooting guns his whole life. Highly, really, highly recommend this place for anyone who wants to try it out. Practice, but most of all learn and respect guns. Price wise. 2 people, an hour, box of bullets and 2 targets, and 2 earplugs. Like $80.00 we had our own guns, but you can rent theirs. I basically got a personal instructor, and that's priceless. Thank you all for giving me a whole new respect and education for guns. I appreciate you ALL!

Once you manage to maneuver through the very small aisles you will find a vast array of different types of boots, camping supplies, flags, butt packs, gloves, hats and all kinds of different things. The prices vary quite a bit, to ridiculously cheap to absurdly expensive. Not sure why, perhaps it's the different brand names. Just make sure you check the price before you bring the item to the counter or you might get a big surprise. The people working here were friendly and I found a whole bunch of sundry items that I have been looking for a while. Not the largest store in Scarborough but definitely one of the most useful.
