Becker Surf & Sport - Men's Clothing Near Me - Malibu, California

See all

A real locals shop. Mitch is the real deal and treats locals and visitors very well. I feel very lucky that he's here in town. Love live Mitch and long live Becker's! read more

Walking into the store with my toddler daughter, we were immediately greeted by a kind saleswoman who was so sweet to my daughter, got on her level and overall made us feel cared for and listened to. My daughter who is typically shy opened up and was eager to show me a bracelet that she wanted and since the overall experience was top notch I couldn't help myself. These days with online shopping it's even more critical to have these instant bonds, where it's obvious that buying in store is worth the sticker price. I've been coming here for over 20 years and I have never had a poor experience so whoever is managing this store- high ten and hang loose to you!!! read more

Unfortunately, there seems to be a genuine lack of professionalism and proper ethics when it comes to some of the Surf community in Malibu, California. I had the misfortune of being set up with not one but two instructors that were referred and work with Becker Surf. I had to find out on my own - and accidentally - that neither instructor had the required permit, nor insurance, for instructing lessons - particularly for beginners who are at higher risk of being injured out on the open ocean. This accidental discovery came in one of the instructors - Ric - was so negligent and how he handled my lesson that I was put out on the open ocean by myself for a good 10 minutes while he waited back at shore unwilling to throw himself into the waves that would've allowed me to not be by myself and choppy waters on a day when a beginner should certainly never have been out on the ocean. Mitch who is the owner, is often out of town, but he's quick to refer his "good friends" who are affiliated with his business. If you want really good instructors, compassionate, experienced, and skilled at working with non-professional Surfers - you want to contact Malibu Surf Shack - which actually does carry the proper permits and insurance, and staffs up with outstanding instructors for both beginners, intermediate, and advanced. read more

Dylan is the most consistent and considerate employee that I have ever met. Dylan talks so much he's the most personable person I've ever met. Woooow!!!! Super well dressed Dylan with his board shorts and collard shirt really made my day. Flip flops obviously as well. Dylan is the backbone of Becker Surf & Sport and the hardest worker ever. He really goes out of his way to greet every customer, make them feel welcome, and has this incredible patience he uses to answer any and every question.yes. read more

Just want to give a shout out to Mitch. I've been searching for a wetsuit all over the place that'd fit me. Went to Kennedy's. Went to Val Surf. Walked into Becker on an overcast morning...knowing getting into the water with just my board shorts might be challenging. A young guy (Corey?) on the floor was exceedingly helpful. Answered all my questions--about suits and boards. He pulled off the largest size they had on the rack...a 2XL. I tried it on. Didn't come close to fitting. I came out of the dressing room feeling rather like it was a lost cause. As I was trying to hang the suit back on the rack, Mitch--who looks like he might be related to Scott Glenn, or Iggy Pop, or Anthony Kedis (not sure)--caught that I was looking less than stoked. He asked if I was able to find what I was looking for... I told him, no--they didn't have my size. And: I'd probably have to lose weight before I'd be able to find a suit. He saw I had a front zip suit in hand...and said, "I've been surfing since I was seven--and those suits are a pain to get in. You need a back zip suit." They didn't have one in my size. He said--in the most caring manner: "Let's get you back in the water...because that'll help you lose weight. If I don't have your size, I'm pretty sure I know who does." And--he did. He confirmed they didn't have a 3XL in their inventory...and, so, he sent me to Zuma Jay's. The staff at Zuma Jay knew who he was and were likewise very helpful. But--it was Just a tremendously and uncommonly helpful vibe at Becker; top notch customer service...and, without Mitch's enthusiasm for the sport, his kind direction, and genuinely unselfish desire to get a rando dude back in the surf, I would still be freezing off my tuchus in the 'Bu. Definitely--go to Becker. Mitch is the man. When you're ready to buy a board, make it your first stop. read more

A fantastic store with fantastic people Represents what it means to love surfing. Family!

In todays world we can all buy online. It's a few clicks away no matter what you're looking for... be it toothpaste or board shorts... it can all be found online... and sometimes a couple of bucks cheaper. There's nothing wrong with buying online, it's almost impossible not to! However there isn't isn't a digital replacement for good old analog face mask to face mask interaction. I say this jokingly but the people that run this store are just awesome. 1 - They let my puppy in with me, he's got a broken leg so I didn't want to leave him alone. 2 - Being a fish out of water and looking for board shorts is a little harder than picking out jeans for me. The guy who helped me was awesome. I wish I could remember his name! He not only helped me out in picking what was best for me while he interacted with my pup. 3 - He didn't haunt me or follow me around, he checked in when he saw me in question... He let me hand over the things I had in my hands so I could keep shopping. Typing this out is really eye opening to me if I'm honest. The brick and mortar retail experience is not dead. It's alive. Support it. Even with face masks and the social distancing there is something different when you get the human experience with good humans. You can't have experiences like this online. There isn't a website that can pull this type of service or location off. With that being said - I say... If you're in the area: Shop here. Support the local staff. Come and see what it's like to buy a tangible thing with intrinsic service. If you work here: Thank You. Not one person was a hollow register ringer. Everyone working there had substance and I could see how they were helping others too. If you own the joint: Bravo, you have a KILLER staff and a GREAT selection! I have no doubt much of it comes from how you've set the duck. If you're an official or a rat and having a pet inside a store is not allowed: The parts mentioning the puppy are not true... and may you step on a lego. read more

All the staff is knowledgeable, patient, and kind! If you are beginner t0 advanced, you will find what you nee right here!

By far the best surf shop I have ever been too! I was immediately helped by three employees, one being the assistant manager. I wanted to get a beginner board for my nephew. Everything was so well explained and they even personally set up the board for me! I left with a soft top board perfectly ready to jump straight into the waves! I Would come back here every time for my surf needs, and I will recommend this shop to everyone I know! read more

Hi, Manager Mitch is the greatest. Answers all questions for beginners and advanced surfs with care. Knows all you need to know for boards.

This shop is busy early which is good the traffic is heavy later yet they have a lot of surfing materials. Go early for the best selections. Great location also. read more

Great service! Needed a board and the manager Mitch drove and met me just to get me the board in time. Amazing service and totally recommend visiting. read more

Forget about buying stuff online -- these guys have their finger on the pulse of what you want/need. Mitch runs a first class operation while maintaining a down-to-earth Malibu vibe. The staff is friendly and helpful. In the rare case that something needs to be returned, they are as accommodating as possible. Keep up the good work guys. I hope you all get out there to catch a few waves of your own! read more

i ordered a wetsuit through their website and then got an email a few days later saying it was out of stock. i called the store and spoke with Travis. He ended up selling me a different wetsuit (a 2010 instead of the 2009 that I was trying to buy) for 25% off! a great o'neill 4/3 for $130. you can't find better customer service than that. and free wax on top of all that. read more

New to Malibu, wanted to buy wet suits for my kids & support a local business. Surf instructors Stone & Peter De Simone recommended Becker. We received great service from Dan! He was super patient, he helped fit & teach my kids the tricks of putting on a wet suit and also was cool patient to have them try a handful of suites to get the best most comfortable fit. The other staff also had very nice pleasant attitudes- I really appreciated that they did not give us attitude for being new to surfing and also appreciated our patronage. Great experience! *** okay so multiple visits & purchases here now wanted to update my review *** These guys really are the best! I love shopping here & feel like I get great advice, awesome service always with a smile & great conversation! I love supporting my local surf shop! Becker Malibu you are the read more

I don't normally write reviews but I had such a lovely experience that I felt inclined to do so this time. Last week, I stopped by Becker on my way to take my kids to the beach. We had decided we wanted to go to Zuma rather than our local beaches in SM but when we discovered we forgot sunscreen, we made a quick stop at Becker. There we were helped by a young man, Cory, who gave us very useful information about the sunscreens they had (and even recommended a good lunch stop). When we got to our car, my kids kept saying they "wanted surfer shirts like Cory". So I promised we would go back to Becker after the beach. We did just that, and once again we were helped by Cory and the team there. We felt very well taken care of and assisted along the way. I also really appreciated how considerate they were in regards to Covid-19 safety measures. My kids are decked out in their cool "surfer shirts", and shorts, and sandals, and... and... and... Mama even treated herself to a new dress. We are all pretty happy campers!! My kids want to be surfers now, so we will be returning next summer for foam boards! Thank you Malibu Becker team! read more

Ordered a new board at Becker....it was kinda custom. Board came in and I took it out in the ocean...I realized that this was not the right board for me...I didn't know the best way to approach it...I went into Becker and talked with Travis (one of the managers) and I expected him to say "tough luck"...instead, he traded my new board (it was pristine, but used once) for another custom board ..and he only charged me 50 bucks for the trade out...Who does that? I was blown away by that customer service...Mitch (another manager) and Travis are great and the other guys are very helpful too....They have earned my business for life.... thanks read more

Went in to buy a new board to get back into surfing and was so impressed by what Becker had to offer. All the staff were very friendly and knowledgeable, especially Derek and Mitch. They ended up helping me find the perfect board for me. I will definitely be coming back to Becker for new boards or anything else surfing related! read more

Never a bad experience. Take my 8 year old son surfing at Dah Bu every Friday afternoon. Sometimes we stop by to pick up gear. The guys have always been great here. Warm customer service. read more

Becker Surf & Sport - Men's Clothing Near Me - Malibu, California

This past weekend my son finally took receipt of his long awaited surfboard! He was dying to put all the pieces together so he could get out and take a test drive that same day but prior to doing so needed to find fins, leash, and a bag to protect his new prized possession. We made the pilgrimage to Becker where we encountered quite possibly the most amazing customer service we have ever run across. Derek, Mitch, and the rest of the team answered all the questions we had regarding the fins, even searching for a particular set not readily found on their wall which they said would be the perfect set at a perfect price! Next the leash which was a quick find, but the bag was going to be what made this review. The board is a 7'6" custom which was made a little wider in the middle and a standard bag was not going to fit. Not only did Derek take the time to run through each bag and try to find one that might fit his board, he then called Rip Curl to ask if they had one and looked through websites to provide us with further options. In the age of COVID, social distancing, and internet shopping it is refreshing to find a group or individuals who truly care about the Becker brand and their guests experience. I 100% recommend this particular location for your surf needs! read more

I wrote this on google too bc I was just in so much shock. Soo I came here with my boyfriend and his brother looking for a beginner board. All I have to say is terrible. During the pandemic I wanted to get some practice being in the water because I'm from NYC and have no experience surfing ever. We pick out one I like and then proceed to purchase it. We ask Malery if the board is supposed to come with fins, she said yes but we don't have any. She then refers us to another shop in the same shopping center so we go there. Upon arrival the person tells us that they don't have it either BUT tells us we should have gotten the fin or just not have gotten the board. We all look at each other like you're right, not knowing these fins are $45. So at that point, we are like why did we pay full price and not receive some kind of discount for a part we never received. Upon returning back to the original store we speak to Malery and because of COVID we can't return it so we are looking for some type of small reimbursement. She refers us to her manager Corey. Terrible. Doesn't even apologize for anything, suddenly goes to "check what they have in the back" and magically it appears. My boyfriend was going to say thank you for that but the manager was so rude that mid thank you said "here you go" and walked away. What kind of customer service is that?? Terrible experience. Don't go here they're so rude to you unless you look like everyone that lives in that area. read more

Colorful, appealing shop with skateboards in the window. Of course they sell surfboards, too, and guys', gals' and kids' apparel. They had about a million cool flip-flops and as many pairs of sunglasses. Buy everything here and carry it over to Surfrider Beach, a few blocks away. Becker also has stores in Hermosa Beach, Mission Viejo, Corona del Mar & Huntington Beach. beckersurf.com read more

I couldn't imagine a better experience! My son spent 2 hours working on his skateboard in their store, with their tools and support. He recently started earning money and decided he'd like to create a skateboard. Is been a few years since he's ridden. He walked in with his own board and asked for wheels, trucks, etc. They were so helpful! They asked him the necessary questions to help him and offered him tools and a work space. There were a couple things (you don't know you need till you know you need them) we would have had to go back to the shop to pick up but : ) we were there. read more

I'm brand new to surfing. Gabby helped me get the right wetsuit. Lessons with Travis- he is great! Highly recommend him- personable, good teacher, and really enjoyed the lesson!!! read more

Love it when you drive up to get a board and they are closed at 5:00. Full staff but closed. Lame. This would have been the second time I bought complete set up. read more

Excellent service! The manager Mitch is top notch! I had a board repaired and they did a perfect job. Definitely 5 star service! Thanks guys

Love the shop and there were super nice and cool workers. I was a new surfer and they ran me through the different types of boards and gave me all the options I should get. Great customer service and they even gave me a lot of free wax. Great local business. read more

They've done a great job due to the current Covid requirements. Staff was helpful and I got exactly what I went in there for. I recently got my stand up paddle boards repaired through Becker and the experience was easy and Mitch was super helpful. The boards came back looking great they even matched the color of the boards rails so you can't even tell where the damage was. Super happy with the results and how fast they turned around these repairs. Great job, great service! read more

ZERO STAR RATING This place is honestly the worst. I brought a brand new board in, to repair a small ding. When I got the board back, there were new scratches all over the board, and the bottom of my board was COVERED in wax. Bringing your board here to get repaired would be a mistake. Also everybody working here is pretty rude. I felt unwelcome from the moment i walked in. Worst surf shop I've ever experienced. read more

Young sales girl did all the right things....greeted me , listened to my request, processed the information, presented me with the solution to meet my needs. read more

I will never shop here again. One of the worse customer service experiences I've ever had. These guys are crooks, and they are unbelievable jerks. I dropped off a SUP to get repaired. They told me it would be done in 10 days and gave me a written estimate for 35 bucks. When I called back 10 days later--no board. When I called back 20 days later--no board. I told them it was cool, no rush, just to let me know when they would have it done. They responded by leaving an aggressive message on my voicemail about how the have never lost a board ever and they didn't lose mine. Now I am actually nervous because it hadn't even occurred to me that they could have lost it. One month after I dropped it off they called me to let me know it was done. When I showed up to pick it up they asked for 3 times the original estimate. No "we're sorry it took so long". No explanation of why it cost more other than ,"Well the person who gave you this estimate was wrong." I didn't want to fight with them over 60 bucks so I left with a real sour taste. They were rude, dishonest, and all together just crappy. Don't support these guys. They suck. read more

We came into the Shop on Saturday, around 1PM after surfing locally; prime shopping time on a spectacular Malibu sunny day. There were 2 young ladies behind the counter who greeted us but didn't ask if we needed help looking for anything. We proceeded to the surfboard rack and checked out several Used boards. I was impressed at the prices, in particular on a board shape that I have been looking for in anticipation of Summer sessions. Around 15 minutes passed with no interaction from either employee. We actually walked away from the boards to get the attention of some Becker employee, but to no avail.Tje 2 young ladies were standing behind the counter, arms folded, and not assisting any of the approximately 10 customers in the Shop. We felt if the employees sincerely wanted our business, they would have made themselves available for us. We walked out and will not return. Typically, this lack of attention is normal at surf shops, unfortunately. With the exception of the Staff at Harbour Surfboards in Seal Beach, Ca. There, the employees greet you, instead of lounge around ignoring customers, and actually ask if you are interested in a particular model, will assist with wetsuit selections, etc...none of this occurred at Becker in Malibu. Perhaps the management's have different priorities and goals for the success of their respective businesses and the experience and satisfaction of their customers. I will not return to Becker Surfboards in Malibu although I do appreciate and respect Becker surfboard shapes. read more

So if you're one of those types that has to buy all your clothes from a surf-shop so everyone knows you're into the sport then this place has what you need. But it also has sweet boards, made here in California, at a reasonable price. I haven't tried their short boards but my 9'6" is a dream boat, nice rocker. They'll even throw in a leash and all the wax you want. read more

This is the worst surf shop I've been to in California. Seems they're focused on selling clothing more than they care about boards. 0 board knowledge in this place, the cashiers at Ralph's next door could probably help you pick a board better than the guys in Becker. Avoid this shop at all costs read more

Post # 2- Though the managers have tried to help this big bad corporation BillaBong can't seem to find the time to refund my 16 year olds money ($323.00). This was a voided transaction and no Becker products were ever sold but the money was taken from his account almost a month ago. They tell me it is a corporate problem but nobody wants to take the time to straighten it out. STOP SHOPPING at BECKER. It is not the cute neighborhood surf store it originally was.RIPOFF. This could have been so simple. read more

I just started surfing about month and a half ago and got totally hooked on it after finally catching a wave. Since I don't want my balls to shrivel up and experience serious shrinkage from the cold Pacific ocean, I needed to buy a wet suit. I found one for 160 bucks and the guy even gave me a 20 dollar discount. So, now I can surf free of worrying about shrinkage. In the words of George Costanza "I was in the water" read more

I was on a hunt for a wetsuit, and I had the privilege of being helped by a man named Travis. He was incredibly knowledgeable, helpful, kind and got me into a perfect fitting wetsuit for a great price. read more

Good selection of all the right stuff. Nice and helpful staff for the most part, lots and lots of really good surf gear.

Cool shop with a good selection of boards, apparel, and accessories. However, unless you're a lifelong surfer or Malibu local the employees treat you like a kook. Also pretty poor customer service. I had a board repaired here and it took twice as long as they estimated and they were terrible with communication on when it'd be ready / why it was late. read more
