They have a good collection of skateboards, surfboards, and apparel. Pricing is quite competitive. A lot of times I go for nostalgia.

We went in 2 different times today once in the morning it was busy and once right before it closed. Tre was there both times. Even after a long day he recognized us from earlier, greeted us and asked my daughter how she did in her competition. We did not realize they were closing and he said not to worry. He kept the store open so my daughter could try on swimsuits. There was no rushing us out. Locally owned too!!! It does not get much better than that.

Prices were very fair and the quality of his merchandise was top notch. Chris was so kind and patient helping me get the gear I needed. He never tried to oversell me on anything even though he easily could have done so.

He was answering phone calls, handling other customers and juggling me with ease. Super fantastic. Will come back to Sterling or Fairfax for any future needs. I later found out that Chris turned out to be the owner so fingers crossed he never retires. Side note -he has a sick Grateful Dead collection! Highly recommend visiting here.
