This Saturday, I was very impressed by your employee at the 14th Street location, Ben. Despite being the only staff member there during a busy afternoon, he still greeted everyone and was extremely friendly and helpful. He also took the time to inspect the merchandise I chose and saved me from buying a hoodie with a hole in the hood. The overall selection was great as well. I look forward to coming back on my next trip to the beach! read more

My three children wanted to take skateboarding lessons. We decided to try Coastal Edge and had an incredible experience at the camp and with our skateboard shopping experience (but it was much more than that). I want to comment about the skate camp first. My kids ended up taking a the week long camp with John Fudala. John and Denise were amazing with them (ages 9,9,6). The kids learned an so many tricks and techniques - I couldn't believe how much and how quickly they learned. Their confidence levels increased every day, and they had an absolute blast. The kids have repeatedly told me that this was one of the best camps they've ever been a part of, and they done many different types of camps during their young lives. John and Denise made it so much fun (costumes, music, pizza, and a mellow environment). As a parent, I really appreciated listening to the life lessons they were teaching the kids about perseverance, practice, and hard work while they taught them how to skate safely. I highly recommend it and hope to come back in August once they've had a chance to practice :) Now, I want to comment about the store experience. My daughter fell in love with skateboarding, so I decided to get her a better board than she had. John and the staff at the store helped us pick out the right board for her. Having been in customer-facing positions my entire life, I am not easily impressed, but I was blown away by Tanner who works at Coastal Edge. She was amazing. She went ridiculously far above and beyond. The backstory is that my daughter had seen the right size, type, and color (pink) the day before, but it had sold by the time we decided to buy it the next day. She saw my daughter - who that day was the only girl at the camp - and wanted her to fall in love with the sport. So, she took my mobile number so i could go to work. Within an hour, she had called every single Coastal Edge location multiple times looking for the right board. She found one, but it wasn't pink. My daughter could have lived with a masculine board, but Tanner saw her in all pink pads, shoes, shorts, etc. and decided that she was going to get my daughter a pink board no matter what. Tanner talked to a friend of hers, Jenah (also another stellar employee), and they offered to take the board home that night, sand it, and paint it pink (with my daughter's favorite things: unicorns, rainbows, flowers) out of sheer kindness. They asked for Isabella's input on the design (I sent them a drawing she had made). They took it and made something really special. The brought it to Isabella on day 2 of her camp. Jenah wasn't working at that location, but came any way to give the board directly to izzy and to watch her take her maiden voyage on it. When I asked about payment, they only asked for some chocolate chip cookies. There is so much to be negative about in the world, but these young women have me hopeful about the future. They made a massive impact on my daughter and a huge impression on me. I will encourage my daughter to pay it forward someday when she's a little older. I never write review either, but this was the very least I felt I should do for what was an amazing week. Any company is only as good as its people, and Coastal Edge has amazing employees. THANK YOU for an amazing camp and life experience this week! read more

Stopped in to purchase some shirts. Tanner and Lauren were working their butts off calling other stores for inventory while checking us out. Seems like something the boss could have been doing but I respect their dedication to this business. I recommend going for the cool shirts but staying for Tanner and Lauren. read more

Tanner and Lauren were great! If I'm being honest, they deserve a raise. Seemed like they were carrying the whole operation.

Great surf/skate clothing for reasonable prices. They have a large selection of women's and men's clothing and are sometimes a little cheaper than WRV or 17th Street for the same items. Best to catch them on a sale day. They had buy one get one free bikini separates, which was a great deal. They have a nice selection of accessories as well. Dakine luggage, Billabong beach bags. It's a giant store. They do sell surfboards but they are pretty expensive. Better off getting a custom board made if you are gonna pay those prices. read more

Today we checked out a couple of different surf shops in the area.We were not even acknowledged at 2 different shops that were in close proximity to Coastal Edge. My son was looking for his first wetsuit, he had saved up his money and had questions on what to get. We were greeted when we walked in and when we hit the wetsuits a really nice gentleman answered all of my son's questions and gave him different options in different price ranges. He wasn't pushy at all and made it an informative shopping experience for us both! Thank you so much! My son is super happy with his purchase and can't wait to get back out in the water. read more

This place was horrible. My friend and I forgot to bring our towels for our beach vacay so we decided to stop here to get some and a few other items. As soon as we stepped in the store we were greeted by a female employee who asked if we needed help. We told her we needed beach towels so she walked us over to them and we thanked her and started browsing. Within two minutes we were approached by another female employee who asked if she could help with anything and we told her no we were good and was helped already by her co-worker. A few minutes after that we were approached by ANOTHER employee who asked the same question and we said no. So then this employee goes and stands a few feet from us watching our every move. By this time my friend was irritated and not getting a good vibe and said she wanted to look elsewhere. I liked the towel I had found but as I made my selection ONE OF THE PREVIOUS EMPLOYEES asked me if I needed anymore help and then followed me to another rack! Now I started to get a bad vibe and turned and put the towel back and proceeded to leave the store. All we wanted to do was buy a few items for our beach day and they made us feel harassed and unwelcome. I travel a lot and review places and restaurants on several forums, I have NEVER left a one star review but they managed to EARN this one! I will never patronize their shop again nor will I ever recommend them to anyone else! read more

As someone who has frequented surf shops his entire life, it is refreshing to know that a place like Coastal Edge exists. From the second you walk through the door, you know that every employee is there for you. Always greeted upon entry. Assistance is always offered, but not forced.

Walked in with my Mother and was looking for a jacket for myself and possibly shoes for her... We were greeted and as soon as we walked around to look at what they had to offer, a girl came up to me and asked "are y'all tyring to get out of the cold to stay warm?" I looked confused at first and then replied "No we are here to shop." And she laughs... Then she just follows me around the store annoying me because I could tell they thought we were poor or homeless. When she started trying to make conversation her manager was staring me down no smile no hello so I told her that I'm a veteran and her whole demeanor changed up and we left but didn't buy anything. Will not return. Hope their business can survive Covid-19. read more

Made a purchase two days ago. Asked girl about return policy and she told us money back in 30 days: Went back to return and they would only exchange. Evidently there is a sign at checkout that was not visible when we bought. Forgot daughters suitcase at home. It was a traumatic time and we are vacationing. Who needs store credit to a local store. read more

This place plays" boom box" music in the parking lot so loud that it is disturbing my peace. Asked them to turn it down, well they didn't. Bad neighbors. read more

This place is horrible! Everything is so unorganized, shorts and shirts are mixing in together and isn't separated or organized by brand. Probably the worst surf shop/swimwear shop that I have ever been to. This review is based on the men's part of the store, as I haven't shopped the women's. It would be a fair assumption to say the women's is the same read more

I love Coastal Edge on Arctic Avenue! Every time I go in, there is always the most impressive customer service. Every employee is so attentive and knows what they're talking about. Because there's nothing worst than an employee being uneducated about their product. Speaking of product, they have an enormous amount of everything you would need from clothing to surf and skate. I've shopped in the women's selection many times and it never disappoints! I forgot about the amazing selection of shoes they carry. If you want some vans, they are definitely the place to go for them because of the wide variety. All in all, I have had a wonderful experience at this Coastal Edge. They really make you feel like you're just hanging out shopping with your friends! I know I will be shopping here for a lifetime! read more

Love this Coastal Edge! Every time I walk in, the employees are always so nice and welcoming. I can always guarantee that I will be helped with whatever I want to purchase. I love how convenient this location is for me! Great customer service and great products! read more
