Thank you to Bird and crew for all of your help finding my husband his first surfboard! Bird was…read morekind enough to demonstrate and give us a lesson in the back on how to surf. The value we got for the board where it came with a fin as well as getting guidance from a San Diego Surf Legend was incredible! We found a used board that was a perfect first board. It is so cool inside surrounded by so many surfboards with some being like a century old! You can tell that Bird and all staff are passionate about helping surfers as well as creating relationships. My husband absolutely loves his new board and is so excited to get out there to chase waves! We were really blown away by the experience by how kind everyone was as well as how encouraging and supportive they all were. Genuinely the best possible place we could have gone to when searching for a surfboard. We only have amazing things to say about Bird's Surf Shed and everyone who works there! We will definitely be back!

Between my husband and I we have officially bought five boards from the shop! Most recently we…read morebought two boards today, a 7'4 torque board and a 7'0 Tomo. We love coming to this place to buy our boards, one for the selection, two for the knowledgeable and honest staff. Most of our boards we have sought advice and guidance from Francois and today we had the pleasure of meeting Bird (the owner)! Which honestly I didn't realize was even the owner until after we left in my husband told me lol. I really enjoy how honest and knowledgeable the staff is it really has made my husband and I feel good about picking boards. Boards are not cheap, they are definitely an investment and the right technology size, length, type all can make a huge difference. So I don't trust anywhere else to go but this place! You can also do a demo rental at their OB shed location before you make a purchase!

Board and Beans is such a special little coffee spot!…read more First of all, I absolutely love their environmental mission. Their sign about picking up a bucket of trash and getting a free coffee honestly blew my mind. Even little details like having real small towels in the bathroom instead of paper towels show how intentional they are about being eco-friendly. The coffee is also amazing! They have in-house flavors (always a plus), and I got the banana bread latte half sweet. It was so good and perfectly balanced. The setup is unique - it's more of a coffee kiosk attached to a surf shop, with a cute outdoor deck/backyard-style seating area behind it. When I went, most people were grabbing drinks to go, but there are benches where you can hang out and wait. There was a small line, but honestly it makes sense. Great coffee, meaningful values, and such a cool concept. Definitely coming back!

Since I saw it was a surf store, it thought they would have some Hurley hats. I was pushing my baby daughter in her stroller so this store does have enough room to push a stroller in. I didn't find any Hurley brand hats, it was only San Diego Surf hats which makes sense this is their store. I look at some of their tshirts here as well but nothing stood out to me. This store is also next to a nice duck pond so if you're lucky, you'll see some ducks hanging out there and swimming

If I can find one I think is special enough or reminds me of something we also picked up a hat, some sunglasses and a few other knickknacks. They had great sandal options as well as T-shirts and hoodies. Great stop. I come every time we visit. Prices are affordable while they do have some things more on the expensive side it is good quality. So I'd say you get nice things for the value they offer.

Should I tell you about this place?? Well, if you did your homework, you would know this outlet is…read morehere. I needed to purchase a wetsuit as I am not about to let this summer go by and not get into the "warm" San Diego waters. Water temps are about as high as it gets for out here right now, like in low 70s, so for me, thats still cold. I need at least a 4/3 wetsuit for that temp. Yes, I am a pansy and I know it. This place has a really nice section for wetsuits and also some great sales too. I made a beeline for the back of the store to check out what they had available. They have short wetsuits, 3/2s, 4/3s, some with hoods (I like those), some front zippered and some back zipped (this is my preference), children's wetsuits, men and women's also. I already knew what I needed so only had to try on two wetsuits (that was already too much lol - you are ALWAYS fighting wetsuits). Fitting rooms available here and then I went to work battling the wetsuits. I could fit the size 4 but my shoulders are a bit broader and the zipper wasn't like easy to pull, so I went with the size 6. The cost for 4/3 wetsuit here was $150, a pretty good deal. I was just at REI looking at an O'Neill 4/3 and it was over $400! I also picked up some shorts and a bikini top and everything here is severely discounted. Sweet!! Service guy working here was super nice and helpful. He showed me the size chart for wetsuits and helped me get a fitting room and rung me up. Great place to get some water apparel here and know they have wetsuits too. They also have shoes here but not too many options in sizes. They also have bags and other items too (I forgot to look at a wetsuit hood they had on sale here - so will come back). Overall. this place was great! I'll be back! But know the parking is a disaster here, the lot is super tight, just FYI.

When we walked in, there was lots of sales being advertised on a lot of the racks when we walked in. Definitely makes a big difference since the clothing products here are definitely on the pricier end. My first time shopping at this retail store and they have a great selection related to swimwear!!! I was interested in buying a wetsuit and was also informed on the differences between the 4/3 and the 5/3 millimeters of the wetsuits. A 4/3 (4mm for the torso and 3mm for the arms) is better for moderate to cold water with higher flexibility, while the 5/3 is warmer and designed for colder, winter waters, and is slightly less flexible. My goal is to be warm as I don't want to feel too cold so I went with the 5/3. There's a good amount of fitting rooms that are good sized to be trying them on. My first time trying on wetsuits and I felt like a seal LOL!!! I purchased one but keep in mind that even with the clearance sale I got it for, it was $120+. My girlfriend tried finding bikinis but there was little sizing for her and lots of the two pieces were separated and the designs weren't matching so she didn't get any.

They helped us very quickly first thing in the morning even while setting up for a surf camp, gave us surf tips for locations, and made the check out process super easy.

And just hanging out for the mornings with the kids and surf friends. Teachers did a morning stretch and then got them out on the water. My son was catching waves right away. Mid-day they had snack break and made sure to reapply sunscreen. Last day they had a pizza party at the surf shack for all the girls and boys.
