Even if you do get to talk to a representative, they rarely can answer your question on the product you are interested in. This is "not" the case at Performance Ski and Surf!

She had a deep knowledge of each product I asked her about and "really cared" about me as a customer. She patiently answered each of my questions on multiple products that I was interested in. It's been a long time since I have been assisted by such a competent and caring sales representative! You are my now "go to" water sports store! Thank you so much! Sincerely, Carl G.

At first, I didn't understand the significance of their name. I thought it was a copycat of the…read morechic and trendy, Urban Outfitters. Yet, as I made my through the open store, with very high ceilings, I realized that if you were an adrenaline seeker, you would be welcomed here. There's a tree in the center that looks very real despite the fact that it's not. There's also a wall of backpacks and Crocs to help your adrenaline filled experience, whatever it may be. In the back, they have bikes as well as skateboards and their various accessories. There are also quite a few bathing suits, for both sexes displayed. And for the boys, they had rather fashionable t-shirts for sale, 2 for $20. One of which was a walking advertisement for Red Stripe beer. And while I hummed to the Nirvana song playing, I realized that only a wall-sized window separated me from "The Flowrider." It's a ginormous room filled with a power wave for anyone wishing to try their hand at surfing. Water shoots out at you, extremely fast, while you and your board try to stand up against it. Talk about adrenaline rush! Should you want to take the challenge, it's $20 for 30 minutes of riding. If you believe you could do this on a regular basis, they have membership packages to suit your needs starting at $100 for 6 sessions all the way up to $1, 346.40 for a full year's worth. And if you and 19 of your friends want to go in on this together, it's $400/hour unless you go Monday through Saturday between 10am-12pm and 7pm-9pm when the prices drops to $300/hour.

We had an AMAZING time with sobe surf, my kids and I did a group private lesson at cocoa beach…read more They were flexible to work with after we had to change our plans because our flight got cancelled. (oh colorado and its snow :( ) We got a new date and time and location planned. and it worked out really well. None of us had ever surfed before and honestly we have not spent that much time at the ocean. We have super tiny and petite yet tall, tall and muscly and then normal in our group They were able to accomodate us all as far as wet suits went as well. Our teacher was fantastic! And this ended up being all of our absolute favorite thing that we did while in Florida. We tried to get back in for another lesson but in Miami on the last couple of days of our trip and unfortunately for us they were all booked up. Highly recommend!!!! And dont forget to bring a little cash to tip your teacher/instructor at the end of your lesson. It is a service job :)

Don't let outside appearances fool you! This little shop located in an industrial area of Merritt…read moreIsland is fantastic! I had previously been to SoBe Surf Shop with a friend after we took a SUP lesson by the shop's owner, Girard, after she purchased her board from him. When she purchased her board, it included a free lesson and she was able to bring a friend. I was so glad she let me go along because even though we had both been paddling for several months, we both knew our technique could use some work and Girard's instruction definitely helped! Our lesson took place a couple of miles from his shop at the Brevard Vererans Memorial in a little Cove just behind the memorial. The lesson itself was great - there were only three of us so after giving us a brief lesson, Girard took the time to watch our paddle technique and make suggestions for adjustments so we were able to practice and immediately get constructive feedback. Girard was very patient and clear in his instruction and by the end of our session I was able to fix the issues with my paddle technique. The shop itself isn't anything fancy, but it serves its purpose. He has a number of different stand up paddleboards in stock, and carries high quality brands ar various price points so you should be able to find one that is perfect for you. My friend and I had both done quite a bit of research on the type of board we wanted and what features were important to us. Girard is incredibly knowledgeable and great at explaining the differences in the boards and how they affect it's use. He carries boards that are perfect for touring, racing and yoga. He is not a pushy salesman at all, which I loved. He also carries different accessories like leashes, paddles, waterproof cases, car racks, apparel, and even ukeleles!! After my friend purchased her SUP, I was pretty sure I wanted the exact same one and Girard was great answering any of my questions either by phone call or text messages. He was always quick to respond. Once I was ready to purchase my board, he let me put a deposit down (using my credit card) on the SUP I wanted. I had also talked to him about my need for a soft rack pack for my car and he ordered one to keep in the shop, but said there was no pressure to purchase it. My board package came with a leash, carbon fiber paddle, and cover bag. I also ended up purchasing the soft rack pack for my car. Girard was so helpful, teaching me how to install the racks and load my board safely and securely. I got home via highway roads with no concerns or issues about the safety of my board on my car while driving 70mph! Check out the shop's website for more information about his tours and lessons as well as information on SUP techniques. The website is very useful. https://sobesurf.com Based on my personal experience with Girard on the lesson and purchasing a new SUP from him, I definitely recommend contacting him if you're in the market for a SUP, want to take a guided tour, or a lesson. I live in Winter Garden, FL and making the road trip to purchase a board and lesson from him is well worth the drIve!!!

Who doesn't want to fly like Ironman?…read more Flyboard Orlando is an awesome way to spend a Saturday morning. A few times a year, I get an itch to do something a little out of the ordinary. I've gone hang gliding, skydiving, etc, so when I saw there was a flyboard rental in Orlando I had to give it a go! Growing up, I spent a lot of time surfing and skating and for the last few years I have practiced yoga regularly... I would say each of these things set me up to have a great time my first time on a flyboard. I was able to get up pretty quickly and even maintained air for 8-10 minutes at a time. I did eat it pretty hard one time, but it was totally worth it! Jim and Amanda are great people, which makes this experience even better. I can't wait to give it another go! Tips: Given the time of year and cooler weather, I would suggest booking in the afternoon. They have wet suits you can rent, but I would bring one if you have one. The most important thing to remember: just relax and feel what you are doing. If you over think your movements, you will be all over the place. Take tons of pics and tell your friends! Eat your wheaties! A 30 min flyboard session is a pretty good workout!

They truly feel honored that you chose them out of I can't even tell you how many others you can chose from. We Honestly felt like Royalty when we arrived for our reservations. From the moment my family & I walked up to leaving it was all about us & our comfort, wasn't rushed at all and they encouraged us to take our time. Even though we ran over our time they were not in the least upset or even implied they had others waiting. Their exact words were " we will do the same for them". They took pictures for us that they didn't have to do. We tipped them very well because people think just because you paid for tickets to do something that that is enough. No it's not. They are offering you a service & when the customer service goes way beyond what you expected & probably deserve then people need to remember giving a tip means a lot to them I'm sure. Please check them out. Can't wait to go back when we can go to Florida again!!!
