I'm very happy with my experience at bare wires in spring lake! The old surf shop in town closed, so I was glad to find their store. They rented me a brand new longboard and leash (the owner was pulling it out of the plastic as we spoke). I asked where I could surf locally. He told me exactly where to go, said there was a sand bar there, when low tide was, and that the waves would be good for a beginner like me to practice on. He also said the water was a good temp, and that I wouldn't need to pay to get on the beach if i was surfing! He was right...it was like saving 10 dollars off the board rental. All this extra advice made a world of difference, and I enjoyed my day at the beach! read more
