Awesome service and forever grateful to Nicolas - you saved our 1 year anniversary! Amazing service - quick clear instructions, very considerate, warned us about any possible problems explained how to row in the kayak as it was our first time and we had a tandem kayak. After he explained us how to put it in the water and not to roll over, we went and did it first try - no problems. We locked the wheels to the wooden fence so that nobody steels them (they are used to transport the kayak easier so that you don't have to carry it in your hands). We saw the sunset and peaked in the cave which was very exciting. Don't go inside the caves if you are renting on your own as the tides can be very unpredictable and you can roll over or hit the rocks - this is also illegal and only allowed during guided tours. Value point is amazing too. For a tandem it's 35$ (39.22$ with tax) and solo is 30$. All the guided tours were 80$+ and I don't really see the point them if you can go with these guys for only 35$. We did a full one hour but I am not sure how long you can usually go we came pretty late before the closing time. If you want to get the guided tours during the winter times the last ones usually depart at 2:30 so make sure you make it in time!

Dave, Jim, and the entire team at UC Cyclery welcomed me like family and didn't judge my lack of knowledge at all. They let me test ride both the Tarmac and the Roubaix as much as I wanted, and they provided incredible insights based on my body measurements, riding style, and goals. I never felt pressured or rushed to make a decision and I cannot say enough great things about them. If you are looking for a local bike shop, I highly recommend making this your go-to spot!

I live in Carlsbad, so this shop is kind of far for me to go. But it's worth it. They are one of…read morethe best bike shops I have ever dealt with. I bought a bike today, and every employee that I dealt with was smart, helpful, and attentive. While I was there I watched other customers and their interactions. All good. I moved to San Diego County after 40 years in Palo Alto and was a customer of the legendary Palo Alto Bicycles and Wheelsmith stores. Now that I'm older I don't buy as many bikes or put as many miles on them as I once did, but I know a great bike store when I see one, and UC Cyclery is a great bike store.

Our instructor Luca met us at the beach right on time after giving us clear directions at the shop when we picked up our wetsuits. He provided detailed instructions and guidance on the sand before we got in the water, which made everything a lot less intimidating for beginners. We all had a great time during the lesson and highly recommend this business to anyone wanting to try surfing while visiting San Diego.

I have 3 custom boards from him so far, the level of improvement in my surfing and the joy provided in the ocean is priceless!

If you want to check his in stock boards, I saw a bunch at Hansen Surfboards in Encinitas.

They are intuitively designed and the boards are incredibly responsive which is helpful for me since my leg strength isn't what it used to be. I can't say enough good things about them.

I've tried other boards but always end up going back to my old favorites so now I just stick with Xanadu's.
