Island Surf & Sport is essentially two different stores in one. You got the surf shop down bottom…read moreand the clothing store up top. The store up top you can find a solid selection and variety from the latest surf and outdoor brands with in-season clothes as well as some of previous seasons items on sale. The Board Room down below you can find a vast choosing of the latest and greatest from shapers and boardmakers. In addition they offer a surf camp and private lessons to those trying to get started. Every time I visit I have found the people working to be helpful and willing to engage in a conversation about what I am looking for or helping me find the right fin for my board. It is important to buy local when shopping for a new board, wetsuit, or leash so the surfing community can continue in areas like Newport/Middletown.

The owner was always good to me, even threw in a few card for free out of nowhere, which was exceptionally cool because they were 1968 Atlantic Oil Pepitone and Tresh I believe. I got great prices on everything I purchased. For everyone complaining that the owner won't match eBay prices .... This isn't home Depot! Do you message every seller on eBay that doesn't have a card for sale at what you consider a fair comp and complain to them? First of all a brick and mortar card shop has wayyyy more overhead than your average eBay seller. That being said, the atmosphere on eBay, especially with modern stuff, is to sell it as fast as possible, which usually means a lower price. Card shops aren't always in a rush to dump their stuff at a lower price. These guys have been around for decades and know the importance of being patient to maximize the return on their investments. Comps especially on newer cards literally change every week, especially if it's during the season, so of I owned a shop I wouldn't be basing my asking prices strictly from eBay comps. I've got no loyalty to the owner and I'm sure he doesn't even remember me because it's been so long, but leaving a less than favorable review over not matching an eBay price is ridiculous. That actually impacts his business negatively, and I can assure everyone that the dozen times I've made the trip to sports heroes,I was treated with great. The owner wasn't pushy, him and his son were sorting a box of vintage behind the counter or just doing their own thing. I spent time browsing through the off grade boxes they had at the center of the store ,( not certain if they're still there) they weren't looking over my shoulders. Even got into small talk on several occasions about cards and my Yankees. I have been a collector for 37 years now, and I would absolutely recommend this shop to anyone. Hope to be back soon!

We went to buy my son cross-country skis for Christmas, but it was a frustrating experience from…read morethe start. It took a while to get someone to help, and when a woman finally came out, there was only one other customer in the store at the time. She helped us find the right size boots, then wandered off before my son had finished trying them on. She didn't return to assist us with the skis and poles and instead started helping other customers while we waited. After nearly 20 minutes, she came out with an older gentleman, but instead of helping us right away, he went to help the people next to us, who were already being assisted, and then ignored us completely as he walked past. I was frustrated at this point, so I snapped and told him, "It's us. She wants you to help us." I apologized afterward and explained that we had been waiting for her for almost 20 minutes, watching her assist other customers before coming back to finish with us. He was very kind and helped us with the skis and poles, and I asked if there was a package deal for buying everything together. He went to check on it for us. While we were waiting, a woman's two toddlers were knocked over by some dogs that had appeared out of nowhere. The kids were scared and started crying. As the woman tried to calm them, I moved closer to the counter to put myself between the dogs and her children, and asked the woman behind the counter why the dogs weren't on leashes. That's when another woman came out of the back, grabbed the dogs (apparently hers), and then yelled at me to leave. I responded, "Your dogs knocked over children, and I'm the one who needs to leave? I came here to shop locally, and you ignored us for 20 minutes, only to tell us to leave now? This is the worst service I've ever had." Needless to say, I took my business to REI instead.

Purchased a sweater back in April and it was received with a horrible smell and the quality of…read moresweater was not good. Looked as if the sweater was made poorly and the neckline was stretched out. Called to get a return label to send back. No one apologized yet did acknowledge that there had been an issue with the sweater smelling and some returned due to that issue. Noone saying "I'm sorry we sent you a horribly smelling sweater".... Just sent a return label so sweater could be returned. I returned sweater. Saw that a week ago it came back on the website with a preorder date of 1/5/25. I placed the preorder with hopes that the sweater would be of better quality and not the horrible smell of the last sweater. Two days later I receive a email stating the sweater had shipped. How could this sweater ship if the preorder date was 1/5/25 and this is 12/14/24. Received sweater today and it was the same stinky, stretched out neckline sweater order months previously that I returned. Not only do I have to run around again and return this sweater to the post office but what company sends out the same sweater that was returned due to complaints that it was damaged and stunk. A $148 dollar sweater, that was smelly...sent out again!!! I am beyond aggravated with the company and the lack of integrity of their products. If you knew the sweater was returned due to defects and smell why not damage it out....not try to sell it again. I will not be purchasing from this company again. Their customer service stinks and obviously do not care about good customer service. Unbelievable!
