    Arbor Venice !!!
    Mark A.

    Came in to look at some new Snowboards for the season and get some new binding ratchet repaired Danny and Derrick great Customer Service I have been coaching snowboarding for 10 years now and I always ride Arbor boards for my Powder days off at June and Mammoth See you on the Mountains

    Dang Daniel! Thanks for coming through. Both the guys working were both patient and helpful. Bought a special deck and they made it look as great as I'd envisioned

    Strapping down my girlfriend's new Sequoia bindings!

    Staff was awesome!! They kept their space pretty open. And it's such a beautiful shop to visit and view their aesthetic. Everyone was wearing masks and being respectful if we wanted boots tightened by ourselves or for them to help. They answered all our noob questions about snowboarding, how to fit, what it's supposed to feel like, what board is good for us. Etc.

    Called in for a size in for a snowboard but it wasn't in stock - I definitely enjoyed the helpful staff; they were able to take my info down to call in for the next shipment. Eager to look for an Arbor Ethos, I rolled down to Buena Park's Identity Board Shop & found it. Stoked to finish my set-up.. I visited Arbor Venice the following day to scope out boots & bindings. This shop is beautiful! My boyfriend & I loved their their natural wooden aesthetic and curation of clothing & gear all in one place. Good tunes & vibe in this spot too, ample parking for customers in the back. Grabbed the Sequoia Bindings which I love. Asked for my size in a pair of new ThirtyTwos but the particular boot I wanted in my size wasn't available. Guy behind the desk told me to try on another pair they had. Asked how much they were and he said "They're yours - Merry Christmas" Like whaaat? I was so shocked coming out of there. Boots are def not cheap. Super kind & friendly staff. Thank you Arbor Venice for the tight experience. Shoutout to Dave/ David & co. for helping us out.

    Honestly a dope spot! I bought two shirts and I live in those things. Really nice people who work there especially that little blonde girl buildin skateboards and what not. She hooked me up with some gear recommendations and the wheels I got a smoother than mommas sweet tea.

    The deck I got (8.0")

    Arbor had some of the best customer service I have ever received, I just got my first real skateboard there, and Carla made it a really enjoyable and knowledgeable experience! They also had a great selection of essentially everything you would need to get a good start, or just get a new skateboard in general imo. Really appreciated the attention and value, thanks Carla!! If I'm ever back in LA and want some spare parts or replacements I'll definitely stop by.

    C'mon Dad let's hurry up and get this board! I wanna ride!

Jason is an incredibly honest and helpful business owner who truly cares about his customers. His customer service and willingness to work with me went above and beyond. I really appreciated that he even made time for our pickup when he was getting ready to leave for his own family trip for the weekend. This was such a different experience compared to other bike shops that just want to make a sale and move on -- Jason took the time to make sure everything was right and that we were happy. I highly recommend visiting Summit Ski and Cycle if you want quality products, fair pricing, and someone who genuinely stands behind what they sell.

He had a snowboarding trip coming up on Friday so on the Sunday before his trip, he looked into different options to get his board serviced (including bringing it to either an REI or Backcountry.) However, he didn't want to make the drive and luckily found Stick Docs on Yelp. He reached out and they quickly picked up his board the following night, sending a text to let you know when they're near you to pick up (and to drop off.) When they arrived and took a look at his board, they were very honest and let him know that he probably didn't even need to get the most expensive package for the damages on his board. We really appreciated that they didn't try to upsell him! They brought his board back on Thursday and we couldn't even tell where the scratches used to be anymore. It was perfectly waxed, tuned, and ready to go! (Upon returning from his trip, he was so happy and said his board was extremely fast after the service. This team did a phenomenal job!) They're convenient, professional, reliable, and do a REALLY great job. Worth every penny! We highly recommend them and we'll definitely be using them again!

Joe is definitely the person to talk to about snowboards. His wealth of knowledge definitely shows and with the no pressure sales looked into my board and we tried on some new boots since my previous ones just completely fell apart . Eventually after trying various boots and learning about the technology that has changed since then, came up with a plan that I needed to work on including breaking in my boots. This store is laid out well and organised. I even managed to pick up a pair of socks while I was there so I could ensure I had the right socks as well (Not too thick and not too thin ) My time was cut short as I had to go but I will be back to have Joe bring life back into my snowboard. Be sure to make time enough for this process and make sure Joe is there to sort your gear out !!

They are the best in breed when it comes to surfing stores and I can't say eight great things about them. Not only do they carry just about everything you could ever need for your surf experiences, but they donut was class and style. Their inventory is massive and if you can't find what you're looking for here, then you'll never find it anywhere else. You can always tell more about an establishment, doesn't even have to be a surfing shop but any place, hotel, restaurant, airline or where ever it may be by the people that work there. Could even be a Macys or Nordstroms, theatre's or wherever. What tell you the most about a place by the folk that work there. At his location every employee there had a great attitude and knowledge of all surf. Product knowledge that you hadn't even thought of or crossed your mind before. These guys and the teams there are all first rate and world class humans in top of that. I want to especially single out the manager I met today, Zackariah. You couldn't ask for a better guy to be minding the store and Jack's is darn lucky to have him. Zackariah is a high quality work class human and Jacks is darn lucky to have have him. I've never been so impressed by a fellow running a gorgeous store like this or anywhere else. No, I'm not his mother or father or have any relation to him. I'll just a 68 year old guy who was so impressed by Zackariah, what a great biblical name too, that I have to shout this out to all of you potential and probably many customers already established customers. I will never go anywhere else to get gear for my 35 year old son who loves and surfs down in Encinitas, or my 30 year old daughter who's local here to the Santa Monica Bay who does a little surfing too. Zackariah, your employers are so lucky to have a world class guy working for them. I hope your owners read this reach out to give you a call or show some way of telling you you're doing a great job, because you are and your team shows nothing but respect for your leadership. Thank you for making my shopping experience today a memorable one and I look forward to coming back and hopefully it will be on a day you're managing and are there. In the mean time, you're a rockstar and Jack's is so lucky to have you. I hope you hear from them To let you know and possibly even show you their appreciation of you. You deserve it!!! Rock on!!

I recently purchased a 2026 Toyota Tacoma TRD Sport & contacted Rack Attack to purchase & install a BakFlip tonneau cover. I was initially assisted by "Steve" at the Santa Monica location. When I called back the next day to move forward with a ~$2K & change purchase, I learned he was suddenly on medical leave -- with no transition or handoff. From there, the experience unraveled quickly. I was transferred to another manager who came to "help them out" from the Orange County location, who was helpful & knowledgeable. He upsold me (successfully) to a higher-end tonneau cover compatible with future rack bars & added fog lights. I made a $1,000 payment based on his assurance that he would confirm product availability & timing for installation before my upcoming trip. He never called back. The following day, I had to chase down updates myself & reached another employee, "Don," who seemed completely unaware of my prior conversations & told me Aaron was no longer available -- contradicting what I had just been told. Again, no follow-up came. By Thursday -- now, 2 days before my trip -- I contacted yet another staff member who confirmed: The tonneau cover had arrived The additional products had not & they could not accommodate installation within the timeframe I had been originally promised At that point, it became clear this was not a one-off miscommunication but a systemic issue. Most concerning, one employee candidly admitted: "I've been here a month, & everything has been a complete mess." That statement alone explains a lot. This experience reflects not only a failure to deliver on a sale, but a lack of internal structure, communication, & support for both customers & employees. No customer spending this level of money should have to manage their own order across multiple disconnected staff members. Rack Attack -- if you are positioning yourselves as a premium outfitter & a key partner for brands like BakFlip / RealTruck, this level of disorganization directly undermines that claim. At this point, I am simply looking for accountability, clear communication, & a resolution that matches the expectations set at the time of purchase. I would welcome a direct response from management regarding how this situation will be resolved -- & how similar customers can expect to be treated moving forward. Should this be resolved appropriately, I would be open to updating this review to reflect that outcome.
