Phase One Surf was originally founded in San Diego circa 1999, when the shop's entrepreneurial…read moreowner and heartbreaking stud, Adrian Nichols, was attending UCSD. The store operated out of Adrian (and roommates)'s garage and has since then expanded to multiple locations in Southern Cali. You can find out more from their website. Anyway, I bought my first (well, my only) surfboard from Adrian -- A Phase One epoxy 7'6" funboard "Blue Classic Stripe" for a great deal (board, bag and leash) and I love it. It's the best board for me - perfect size and it fits my needs as a major beginner/kook/novice... que girl-term for Barney. Adrian represents five local shapers from Southern California, cutting down on the costs of your board, but never sacrificing quality. He's got a crazy amount of stock to meet your surfing (even non-surfing) needs - wetsuits, fins, board racks, booties, leashes, fun/long/short/indo boards, travel accessories, skateboards, body boards, watches, clothing, backpacks, etc. etc. the list goes on. He even has used surfboards available and can even hook it up with a CUSTOM board that'll fit your specifications (color material design shape etc)! If you want a unique, good quality board (or any of the other things I mentioned) without breaking the bank, check out Phase One Surf online or on site. Give him a call and he'll hook it up for sure. What more can I say? Adrian is the cheese to my surfing macaroni. =D

My daughter found Phase One Surfboards through ebay, but I wanted to go to the physical location. We arrived a little before 10:30 and Shawn greeted us. He took his time to answer all of our questions. We received a cash discount. He installed the fins and gave us complimentary stickers and wax.

He listed to me, advised me and then got me on the perfect board which he also had in stock (I was expecting to have to wait a while to get one made for me). Pricing was very fair, product quality is top notch and I got the expert advise I wanted and needed so badly from Paul (who is a ripper/bad ass surfer himself). All around a 5 star experience! I will be adding some additional Chili boards to my Quiver in the future. I highly recommend these guys!

I inquired via email (from his site) and he replied back same day. We exchanged a number of emails, with him sending a handful of questions each time to pinpoint what kind of surfer I was, my skill level, and what my preferences were for my next board. I set up a meeting and he asked to bring my current boards with me. He analyzed the crap out of my board (in a good way) and thoroughly explained what he can do and what kind of ideas he had. Wayne hand shapes each and every board and seems to be very detailed oriented. He is also a really cool dude who has a lot of good stories to share. Board was finished according to schedule (less than 4 weeks). I've surfed my board twice already and I have no regrets in buying it.

I went to a couple dive shops but still couldn't find one. After one uncomfortable dive, I reached out to JMJ to see if I could get a custom wetsuit made before the following week. Not only did they say yes, but it was done in just a couple of days, allowing some time for the hood to be altered slightly. I've now used it on my four open water certification dives and cannot express enough how great it is to have the comfort of my own suit. Thanks so much!!

I saw several other people with JMJ wetsuits that looked like they had been used for years and looked like they were holding up well. The JMJ Crew were friendly, responsive and physically make the suits on site so I was able to see the process. I was able to see, touch and feel the product before I ever placed an order, which you cannot do when you by online or even in some of the high pressure dive shops! I tried on a lot of wetsuits with all the special high tech treatments and seam seals, etc. None of them felt good on my skin and most of them were too long or too tight and bigger sized had to be ordered and were subject to restocking fees if they were returned. When I met the guys at JMJ, I knew custom was the only way to go and I am glad I did. The process was easy, Jeff took measurements and two weeks later I walked out with a custom fit wetsuit. They even custom fit a pocket for my dive knife! The cost was only a few dollars more than one of the best Henderson's off the rack, but much better because it fit me like a glove and I got to pick the colors! JMJ makes a high quality product which I expect to have and enjoy for years, locally in Torrance. I HIGHLY recommend them. JMJ will be making me a 3mm wetsuit as soon as I can decide what colors I want. JMJ is conveniently located in Torrance, California, not far from the 110 freeway
