Would give zero stars if it were an option…read more Bought $175 skates for my daughter. Was told they were leather and would loosen up. My daughter literally wore them for 4 minutes after falling face first because they were so stiff. We found out that they were actually vinyl, not leather, so we went to exchange them and they wouldn't return or exchange them. So they lied to me about the material and then wouldn't do anything after I called them on their lie and attempted to return or exchange them. Will never shop here again. Just another example of a local company that will now lose a sale to online sellers and then they'll complain about the internet ruining their business. Mirror time.

I wanted a…read moreSANTA CRUZ t shirt or hat and was surprised at how the store was stacked with branded real skateboarding supplies and apparel. The store layout is setup really good. From the outside the store doesn't look appealing but once you enter it's like a whole different realm . Customer service is there to help you with any questions. I found a black colored SC windbreaker that I am happy with. I hope it last because the logo doesn't seem like it can take wear and tear . Crazy the shopper in front of me in line was from Berlin , Germany so you know that this town is made for tourists and memories . Tons of variety of boards here on display. I didn't see too many SANTA CRUZ t shirts though you gotta go to the physical boardwalk store and purchase them there or at Capitola mall. I am glad I discovered this place while, there is btw plenty of parking across the street free.

All this happened because I asked the front desk staff to ask their manager if they could put up my work flyer in the store. Steff proceeded to tell me off then told me my flyers were "some crap" and that she would " Rip down all my flyers in Capitola and throw them in the trash." Not to mention the nasty voicemail she left me... Thanks Steff. I'm a teenager and this woman is an adult. As a local, I know families wouldn't want their kids and teens getting verbally harassed at a local surf shop. I'd avoid going to Free Ride Surf Shop In general. Absolutely terrible experience.

The person that helped me out was extremely knowledgeable and very helpful, he was able to guide me through the inns and out of selecting a board that would not only be age appropriate but something that he could also grow into and would last long enough with quality parts "without having to buy the top of the line equipment or for that matter buying something that was crap" I settled on a thrasher board with 53 mm wheels and ABCE9 bearings along with NC Boardshop trucks and finished the underside with the Santa Cruz screaming hand and a bones dinosaur sticker. Cuz that's how I roll "get it, roll?" The shop not only carries everything you need to build a board the also sell protection gear, shoes, socks, pants, and shirts as well as sunglasses and even Christmas ornaments, " which I bought, laugh out loud" Total price for the board was $129 which honestly after doing some interweb research is a pretty good deal for a quality skateboard. Overall experience was great and the customer service was fantastic. I highly recommend them if you're looking to buy a board for yourself or your loved ones.
