Always a great experience coming here. They stock a variety of wetsuits from different…read moremanufacturers. The staff are knowledgeable, friendly, and outgoing. I am a regular customer here and they reward my loyalty from time to time with things like a pack of wax after a large purchase. Another great thing is that a lot of surf shops will only have a single person and you will end up waiting a long time to get helped but every single time I go here they have multiple staff two or three people working in there is never a wait. The only complaint I have is that their selection of boards is a little bit slim and if you price Shop, you will find that you can drive not too far and save 100 bucks for the same board.

This is my go to surf shop. I have taken boards here for repair and bought new and used boards…read morefrom them. I find them always very helpful, friendly and honest. Their prices on boards and gear seem fair too. Also, they are also honest with beginners. I chatted with them about it before because I have seen people out on big days with rental boards where honestly it is unsafe for them to be out, but those people rented from a different shop in town. I really appreciate that they won't rent to beginners when conditions are unsafe for them to be out (both for them and for the rest of us).

Initially came to buy wax, but after surfing for a while I decided to ask questions about…read moreappropriate board sizes for my build. From trying different things out and making progress, I realize my boards are tailored to people larger than me. I want to upgrade my longboard and shortboard so I asked for some guidance on what to look for when I decide to pull the trigger on new boards and Jeremiah did not disappoint. Shared my goals for each type of board and Jeremiah shared his expertise with such a pleasant vibe overall. I took my friend here to rent a wetsuit for her first time in the water too and love that the vibe here is not "too cool for school" and simply pure stoke for surfing with a welcoming attitude, even for those who want to try it out.

#27 of 2026 27 down,…read more4 more to go to end January with 31 reviews! I'm def loving this newly discovered area of Mill Valley. My husband and I love Hook Fish. One day while I was waiting for him to meet me, I decided to peruse the store next door. It was one of those stores that sold pretty much everything from puzzles and socks to apparel and candles. I ended up leaving with this national parks puzzle my husband and I completed December 2025. Very cool just to walk in and see what they got. Gave me Roxy, Vans, Hot Topic vibes but California centered if you catch my drift. Only thing I wish is they're open past 6pm.

This store has custom surf boards and loads of surf clothing and sex wax for your boards. Very nice unusual products in a beautiful store makes my desire to try surfing even more. Right across the street is a grest bookstore and coffee shop and other fun, trendy galleries and places to visit in Sunset. I was very impressed and Dave helped me when I spoke to him at the counter. Fun!!!!

I came in this spot looking for a sticker to mark the occasion. (My wife and I came out to enjoy Ocean Beach on Labor Day weekend) They don't sell stickers, but the guy behind the counter pulled out a bunch, and told me to take one for free!!! They were welcoming, and cool AF!!! Highly recommend any business that prioritizes relationships over money because that is what it's all about!!!

Hope the community can support this lovely shop and I can return for an actual board once I'm worthy of one! Oh, and the prices here are more than reasonable. Best value in the Bay Area, plus will happily pay extra to support locally owned businesses over Amazon or chains.

I am just amazed that they can get that much inventory inside but when you look out back outside and you see all the boards, paddle boards, sail boards, all the boards in the back it's amazing to see. The place is well lighted and fully stopped, and the employees there are very happy and eager to help you. I would recommend these guys at any time to come in help you figure out what you need if you're a newbie or to help you if you're an old salt of the sea.

We brought a life jacket for our dog and was able to include him in the kayak for no extra cost! We are beginner kayakers so it took us a while to get used to paddling and directing the direction of the kayak. The kayaking route was decent and safe. We didn't have to worry about currents taking us out to sea. Nice staff and nice little shop! We had fun!

The rain boots I was looking for in my size was in stock. Not sure why there weren't too many people on a Sunday afternoon, but I pretty much had the whole store to myself. The gentleman in the shoes area knew exactly what I was talking about when I showed him a photo of the rain boots. He walked me over, grabbed the box, and guided me to a bench to try on. The cherry on top is that he even shared that Sports Basement price matches if you're able to find the exact shoe for less on competitors' sites. Great customer service! After walking around each floor, I eventually made my way to the cashier, who was also friendly. All displays and merchandise are clean and orderly. Word on the street is that this is the first Sports Basement that opened. See you next time, Sports Basement on Bryant Street!

I was in and out with a rental bike and guidance on which direction to head in for a nice ride within minutes of arriving. Super quick and easy experience. Paid $25 plus tax for about 3 hours of ride time (all that was left in the day). Got in a great 16.75 mile ride and turned the bike in just as easily as I rented it. Note that all available rental bikes are single speed and you reverse the pedals to brake (not handle bar brakes). I was reluctant at first but the trail is easy enough and a single speed bike was you need! Oh and they'll let ya borrow a helmet if you forget to bring yours ;)
