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!

After 40 years of surfing, I thought I'd seen everything a surf shop could offer. Bird's proved me…read morewrong. I came in looking for a new board and was fortunate enough to work directly with Bird himself. From the moment we started talking, it was clear this wasn't going to be a typical retail experience. He took real time to understand what boards I currently ride and -- more importantly -- what I'm actually trying to get out of a new one. Patient, knowledgeable, and completely free of the condescension that can sometimes creep into shops like this. No ego, just genuine expertise. We narrowed it down to two models, and here's where Bird's went from great to extraordinary: rather than push me toward a decision, Bird offered to loan me one of his own personal boards to try out first. In four decades of surfing, no shop has ever made me that offer. Ever. This is what a surf shop should be. Highest possible recommendation.

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.

I tried on a bunch of jackets and pants--shoutout to London at the fitting rooms, who was lovely! I initially left with a total of $381.58. But later, I noticed a couple of discrepancies: the jacket's discount was miscalculated and the pants were mislabeled as XS when they were actually smalls. After some research, I found the items for less on Amazon, so we called Hansens. My fiancé spoke with them, and they were willing to price match. Enter Patty, the awesome manager! Patty was incredibly kind and helpful--she matched the Amazon price and gave me a partial refund right on the existing order. I didn't even have to drive back to Encinitas or hassle with a return. Thanks to Patty Bolton and the team, everything was made right--and I'd absolutely recommend Hansens to anyone! 5 stars

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.
