Employees will walk right past you and when you ask for help they tell you to check in. There is no service to check in, the wait time is always 50-60 minutes to see something out of the case.

On our last visit we checked in and told employees that we were just asking about a pistol in the case. 2 employees working with one customer. After 20mins we left and went to Fine Firearms to make our purchases there. Come to find out they MUST UP MY FSC CARD and it's a hassle now to purchase. We are officially boycotting and will never be back. We were already home when 3 HOURS LATER, we get a txt that we are next in the line. Many shops in San Diego are more friendly, knowledgeable and better equipped then this place.

Made in the USA. Lifetime warranty. Customer service that exceeds expectations. When's the last…read moretime you experienced that trifecta? Mine was on Friday, when I stopped by NalPak Group's HQ with an early generation of its vaunted Tuffpak 1050 Gun Case -- in Hunter Green. (Fortunately for me, I live a little over a mile from the shop -- which, for a knife and flashlight guy, is kinda dangerous to the wallet.) These cases are built like Fort Knox, and can carry multiple long guns or, with the right golf bag, a set of golf clubs. The only thing I didn't like about this early-gen case was the top handle, which laid flat on the top and wasn't comfortable to pull the case with for long distances. Fortunately, NalPak improved the case over the years, and the upgrade I most wanted was the new cushioned handle with more room for my hand to pull the case with ease. When I brought the case into the store for the handle, the friendly Office Manager, Annette, who also oversees the retail store, called a gentleman from the back, who looked over the vintage Tuffpak, asked what I needed -- the new-style handle -- and offered to install new wheels (softer roller-blade style -- a definite upgrade), too. After a short wait, my case emerged with the new handle, new wheels, an added internal hook and accessory bag (included on newer models) and a new strap and buckle. I asked what the charge was, and they said zero! How do you top that customer service? It's great to have such an amazing company headquartered right here in my hometown of El Cajon, California. Thanks, NalPak. You're the best!

Wakesports Unlimited in El Cajon truly stands out as a premier destination for wakesports enthusiasts. From the moment you step in, the beautiful showroom captivates with a vast array of wakesports products, making it evident that they cater to both beginners and seasoned professionals. For me, one of the standout features of this store is their selection of foiling gear. It's a boon for foiling aficionados like me, especially considering the fact that they're about the only physical store in San Diego County with such an assortment. This not only speaks volumes about their dedication to the sport but also their commitment to serving the needs of the local community. The staff deserves a special mention for their expertise and affability. They radiate passion for the sport and are always eager to assist, ensuring you make an informed decision that suits your needs. They accept a variety of payment methods, including Apple Pay. In conclusion, Wakesports Unlimited is more than just a store; it's a haven for wakesports enthusiasts. Whether you're new to the game or a seasoned pro, this is the place to be. Highly recommended! read more

Would love to give this place a good review, but it was a painful experience. Whoever was working behind the counter knew what he was talking about, but clearly didn't want me in the shop. I am new to wakeboarding and just wanted some information and I got none at Wakesports. You'd probably be better off just asking someone you know with knowledge and buying it online. I hate to be negative and I am sure there are other people there that would be willing to help out, but I am only writing about my experience and in my experience it was no good. read more

This is the best shop I have ever been to. I just moved here from Idaho and was looking for a place to see some new gear and find some possiblities to ride. Their selection is awesome and already stocked with the new 2012 gear. The staff is very friendly and informational. I could have stayed there all day hanging out. They also hooked me up with the Carlsbad Lagoon, my new favorite place to ride. Wouldn't even think about getting any of my gear from anywhere besides here read more
