Been coming here most of my life and they have always been the most helpful staff. Mike helped me find a board through each phase of my life, the gentleman upstairs helped me find a skateboard when I was young, and I even bought all of my snowboarding gear here. This is seriously a one stop shop. Plus the owners are super sweet. read more

WOW! What a beautiful store. A place for everything, and everything in its place. It was clean, it smelled good, and the music was jammin'. When the system started playing "Africa" by Toto, and I had my new sandals in hand, I knew it was more than serendipity, 'I was meant to be here'. I read some pretty awful reviews about the customer service here, so I wasn't sure what to expect, but I hustled in with my normal jovial jive. Mike kindly greeted me and led me to exactly what I thought I was looking for, Cobian sandals. While Cobian's weren't at all it for me (too tight in the middle of the foot), as I browsed Mike perfectly balanced providing support/giving me product knowledge with allowing me time to try things on slash check things out. In other words, anytime I had questions, which I had quite a few, he was there, but not in a hovery way. He informed me of other products, but really only when it was appropriate. As soon I tried my first pair on, Mike let me know where to find the nearest mirror. I knew I was leaving the store with sandals today, and Mike made that experience a breeze-no hiccups, no funny business, just excellent customer service. The same is to be said for the rest of the lively crew, including the associate who rung me up. Truly, nothing but good vibes here. Thank you to the entire crew! Again, this place was clean! read more

Colton is helpful courteous,kind and knows his stuff when it comes to all types of gear especially BMX bikes and Skateboards. He managed to help me pick out some legit gear with a combo pack that was cost effective rather than purchasing 1 pack and also gave me some pointers for the type of lifestyle I have when it comes to shoes on and off track. I am pleased and look forward to heading back for some more awesome gear and great service he provided. Thank you Colton! read more

My boyfriend and I bought our first wetsuits from here. Gavin helped us find the right fit for both of us on the first try. At first I was a bit timid bc I am a bigger girl but he found the perfect one. They were definitely budget friendly as well for two broke college students. Everyone was super friendly, blonde lady cashier not so much but whatever! Thank you guys read more

I called in today for an inquiry regarding a snow gloves. An employee by name of " Culton" answered the phone and responded rude and unprofessional, then when I requested to speak with a manager, he hung up the phone one me. I called back in twice and no one answered my phone. I waited 10 min and called in again. Someone else answered the phone, I requested to speak with a manager. Finally, a manager by name of "Mike" answer the phone and as a manager he was inconsiderate regarding customer concern. The management should provide training to their employee to be as professional as possible with customers. read more

Such an awesome store! Love the staff been coming here since 2009/2010 maybe even before tbh for skateboards and clothes. Now I'm into surfing to keep staying active so picked up a wetsuit last year for a good deal on sale and now just got a sweet board from them. Nothing but the highest regards for this store and owner! Appreciate your business and what you offer! read more

I came here to get a pair of rainbow flip flops for my son for Christmas, when I got home I learned that someone already bought them. I went back the next day to return them. This place does not do returns at all, only store credit. Who doesn't do returns on something never used?! Places like this is why people shop on Amazon. read more

Do not shop here. They do not give your money back if you return something. Even if you have the receipt, you will only get store credit. That should be illegal and might actually be illegal. read more

They fixed my problem very helpful they are kind and considerate I hope they do well on the future

Excellent and knowledgeable service and very good prices. I bought a new surfboard here that was hundreds less than the local surf shops in San Diego. read more

I have heard about this place from multiple people and in my pursuit of a wetsuit, who gave me the perfect excuse to finally check it out. Starting with the walls on the exterior, I love that they have it all decked out with surf and skate. Very cool look. The moment I walked in I was greeted by an employee who offered assistance and I really appreciated that. The store itself is actually pretty full of merchandise but they have done a good job and spreading it all out with their two floors. The moment I walked upstairs and headed towards the wetsuit area, another employee asked if I needed help and was quick to do so. He answered all of my questions, gave me some good advice and what to look for according to my needs. A third employee approached me after trying the wetsuit on and gave me his opinion which I valued because it seemed like everyone there had experience with their products. Another thing that stood out to me was the range of prices. With everything, you're going to pay for what you get in regards to quality, but I appreciated that they showed me both the low and high and plus everything in between when it came to wetsuits. I'm guessing the same goes for all of the other surf, snowboarding, and skate options. Without question, I will go here again when the need arises. Cool people, cool shop, and definitely cool vibes. read more

Came here for some snowboarding equipment near the end of the season. I had previously checked out the website but it's a ghost site and they don't use it anymore. Don't let that fool you though, they have so much equipment for so many sports. I loved the selection available and if I could have I would have purchased a board and boots right then and there. But I will be back for it bc it is the only shop with everything I need available in stock. The employees were very helpful and answered all my newbie questions and even gave some suggestions as experienced riders. read more

They are rude and inconsiderate they sold me a size so small it gave me blisters and they said that was ok

Always love to come here to get my winter gear. Amazing staff. The guys helped me grab a solid pair of Dragon snowboard goggles for a great price. read more

Walked in one day after work exhausted and needed to get a new bib, goggles, helmet and gloves! The boys at hangar 94 did not disappoint! Walked upstairs and was helped by Tanner who helped grab a new pair of gloves & sized me in a men's bib because my quads did not fit the largest female size.... I'm a proud & sturdy 5'10" 185 lbs. He also helped with my gloves & they kept my hands warm and dry the whole day! Walked downstairs and Trevor sold me on a new pair of goggles and a helmet! Mad props for helping me style a pretty rad combination. Both these gentlemen had great customer service and made my overall buying experience just so much more enjoyable. Can't believe I've lived in San Diego for this long and not knowing about this gem! - Huge inventory/ selection - Great customer service - Great knowledge and use of the products they're selling! @neeks93 on insta read more

Surf and skate gear and apparel store. Large and well stocked. Prices comparable to shopping online. I can see what the other reviewers are saying about how they follow you around the store. If you want help and have questions it's good, but if you just want to browse on your own in peace, you may feel uncomfortable. I think that's how they deal with shoplifters, by keeping an eye on every customer. I guess I can understand that, since lately there's no law enforcement or consequence for criminals. They only do exchanges and no returns, but they have a sign on the wall that says they do returns, so I was confused about it at first. They should probably take down the sign. Right by the mall. Plenty of parking. read more

I like this store, they're just expensive but they have a great and wide selection of things.

Don't support this shop! Came in to try on snowboard boots on a Sunday. Told by staff "Are you buying today"? When our response was maybe? Not sure yet. We were told by this employee that he can't pull boots for us to try if we're not planning on buying! No joking! If you don't buy, you can't try! Store policy. Not to mention they're horrible return policy which is no returns store credit only. I will never do business here again and tell all friends/family to do the same. Can't wait until online shopping closes this store down. read more

Good variety of items, big store. It's nice to be able to try things on. Merchandise is overpriced here. Even though it's on sale, price is still higher than on Amazon. One of the wetsuits I was interested in was "on sale", but still $70 more than on Amazon. I still wanted to support them. I asked manager if he is willing to match the price, but he said they don't. What's really ridiculous here is their return policy. I've purchased roller skates I didn't end up needing. That item was supposedly some "super sale" (which was still more expensive than on Amazon, but I saw it afterwards. It was about $15 difference, not that big of a deal, but kind of because the item was $60 at the store). I came to the store 1 week after to return it. I didn't have a receipt, but since they don't do refunds at all, I thought it wouldn't matter because I was going to do store credit anyway. Cashier said that when it comes to returning "super sale" items, it can be only exchanged for a different size or color. Normally, you as a customer, get told are things like that before the purchase, but the cashier pointed to return signs. Yeah right. Off course people read that. I firmly said that I don't need this item. She's made an "exception." I told cashier when I've purchased it, but she asked to find bank statement. Ok, no problem, I found it. She asked what day it was purchased, so she could look up the transaction. I asked what was the point for me to pull up my bank statement if I could just tell her when I've purchased it. She said there are "other things" she'll have look at. Yeah, there was no other things, she just felt necessary to be pain in the ass. She gave me store credit. It wasn't even a card. It was simply a paper slip. We are in 2024. Businesses are willing to do anything for a customer to come back. I will be back since I have those $60 handwritten on a paper slip to spend. Would I want to be back there? Absolutely not! I hope I can give this store credit to someone else if it's even allowed. read more

Store is rude and unprofessional. Maybe I got an aggressive employee but will not be coming back here ever again even though I live 5 mins away. All I wanted to do was try on some snowboard boots from a few different brands and walk out the store with something worth getting for the upcoming season. Instead I was told "we're not a try-on store" and pressured to buy something on the spot. This is not the approach for customer service even if I was. You just missed out a lifetime worth of sales from me. Instead, I'll be going to REI where they understand the value of customer service. read more

This place is amazing if you a board lover, I mean Snowboard, Surfboard, Skateboard. There is everything that you need for one of those sports. Huge selection of wetsuits, Snowboard boots, you name it at affordable prices. I ve been their customer for over 2 decades. They also are able to hot wax your Snowboard and have it ready within 20 minutes, unlike most other places that need 2-4 days, when it is not even a season yet. I once came over 15 minutes later then they take last appointment for waxing (6 pm) and they still got it done. Totally recommend. read more

The staff are extremely knowledgable about surf gear and very helpful. They don't push more expensive stuff, just honest feedback. Great wetsuit and board selection, and decent prices. You might find cheaper online, but you can't try it on. Some reviews mention getting followed around, have they thought about what they would do, as management, to cut down on shoplifting? Don't take it personally. read more

I will never shop at this store again. I went in today to buy a body board and was followed by an employee the entire time I was in the store. It made me feel so uncomfortable and unwelcome. Upon entering the store I was passed by three employees none of whom greeted me or made any other sort or acknowledgement towards me and my son. One employee finally approached us and asked if we needed any help. I told him we were just looking for the moment the employee proceeded to follow us around the store and just stand in every aisle that we shopped without speaking to us any further just staring. They did not have the size bodyboard I wanted anyway but even if they did I would not give this business any of my money. read more

Hanger and the management I dealt with deserve 0 stars. They initially said that they would help me with the snowboard boot company representatives to try to address the problem, but once they saw my post here on Yelp, they refused to do anything to solve the problem. So petty! read more

I feel like a criminal every time I go in. they follow you around. I always see them out of the corner of my eye. People know what I'm talking about. Kinda sucks. But mainly go because I'm in a pinch for convenience. Def pricey except for the clearance, which is basically normal pr Update: Still feel like a criminal when I walk in, but mad props to the kids in the skate dept. including surf related stuff. Very helpful and knowledgeable and patient with my kid. read more

(First of all, free popcorn?!? Yes please kthxbye.) Excellent service and selection. I went to H94 in search of new snowboarding goggles (mine were 10+ years old). With the help of a knowledgeable employee (who gave real-life scenarios of why I should choose "these" vs. "those") I was able to pick a dope pair of goggles, and headed upstairs for Snow Pants. The dude upstairs was super helpful in explaining the difference between all the styles, and was patient with me needing to try on 8-10 pairs before I found something that fit. Bonus points for a personal fan in the fitting room. The girls at the cash register were chill. I'll definitely go back for any of my snow gear needs. read more

Our family hasn't had a chance to shop IRL since start of the pandemic and Hanger 94 was a must on our list to come check out some new stuff! Huge selection of clothing, shoes and gear.. so much to look at... we've missed the in store shopping experience. As small business owners ourselves we were very impressed with the kindness of the staff at this location. We felt very welcome shopping, we were asked several times if we needed anything and had a great experience. Thank you guys!! Very cool store, totally would recommend to shop here for the whole family! read more

Worst customer service I've ever experience they only care about Up selling you here and trying to make commission off selling you gear. It's so obvious it's terrible. I Was looking to buy a pair of goggles seen them for $140 on Amazon wanted to buy them in store and support a local shop but they had it marked up for to $229.99 . The guy that was helping me out got upset I was looking at Amazon after I showed him the difference in price he told me "what is that going to do for me" in a super rude tone and took the goggles from me . Definitely not the please I wanna spend my hard earned money. read more

October 3, 2021 I had a great experience. Vivian and Emerson helped me shop for my son's birthday. I purchased the water shoes I wanted and a wet suit. So many great items to chose from. Great Selection. Thanks so much. Carol Lovejoy read more

I recently moved to the area, and have had negative experiences every time I've gone to this shop. Hard to believe that this business is able to stay in business with such consistently bad service. Bad prices, not much selection yet a massive store, and rude employees. Go to another skate shop or shop online read more

This store is a JOKE in terms of "caring" about the costumer! I bought a snowboarding jacket, before Christmas, from the brand Volcom, which is double zipper, top and bottom. Let me tell ya, every single damn time that I get down the mountain, the borrow zipper is opening. I went to the store after Christmas, after riding 4 days with my brand new jacket, and talked to one of the managers about. He told me that I probably wasn't zipping it right (hahahaha yeah yeah, you're right). Exchange it was not even a point, smh. I really wanted that jacket so, I told him that I'd be with the jacket, ride again and if happen again, I'd come back and he told me that I'd be able to do something (probably change for another jacket or credit store). I went to ride this week and it sure happened again. I went to the store and talked to another manager, since the one that I talked before was not in the store or didn't want to deal with it again. The other manage said the same fucking bullshit: I don't see it happening, you might be zipped wrong and they have nothing to do so I should deal with the brand, Volcom. I told him that I can record a video riding and arriving back to the lift so he can see LLLMAAAAOOOO... They literally like insulted that I was dumb or like lying, you know?! Anyway, I never feel writing here but, this one I could not miss. DO NOT BUY IN THIS STORE! IF YOU HAVE ANY PROBLEM WITH THE PRODUCT, YOU'RE TOASTED BC THEY DON'T GIVE A FUCK AFTER SELL IT! The worst experience EVER! read more

I came in here with my teenage son to shop. Anyone who has ever done that immediately knows my pain with shopping with a teen boy. Noah who works there was amazing! Sooooo patient, immediately knew my son's taste and understood what he was looking for. He pulled so many items to see if he liked them and we wound up with a lot of great choices. Noah, you rock! Thank you for being awesome. read more

I came here with my son to buy him some new shoes. He's been really into skateboarding recently and wanted a certain type of shoe. Hanger 94 is very well stocked and has a huge selection of skate shoes. The customer service was decent and they helped my son pick a shoe that was good for him. My son was very happy with his new shoes and went on trying to convince me to buy him basically everything else in the store. Instead of spending more money, I gave my son some of the free popcorn they have available! Love that they have that! I'm sure I will be back to buy more shoes once my son tears up his new ones! read more

It's extremely unfortunate I have to write this review because before today I loved hanger 94 and had nothing but great things to say about it. There's honestly no other place like it when it comes to your active sportswear. The prices have always been a little steep, but like the saying goes... you get what you pay for. Unfortunately after today, I'm gonna be searching for other places to buy my gear as I even told the manager that as I walked out their doors, "I will be writing a review about you guys" so here I am. No problems until I got before I got to the front of the line. As I'm walking to the counter I explain that I'm here just for a return. And before I can even finish my sentence someone responds with "we don't do returns only exchanges or store credit". I explain to them that when I purchased these board shorts two weeks ago I specifically asked about the return policy and I was told that as long as I keep the receipt and the tag on and the condition is as you bought them, Then I would receive a full return. Now, Full disclosure, I had full intentions on exchanging the shorts out anyway for a different style and size. They were for my son As a present. He liked the shorts, but they were too big and he wanted a different color. Has been a manager myself, I wanted to see how Their manager would handle this situation. The employee takes off to get the manager. She explain to her my issue and she repeats the same thing the employee says. "Sorry we don't do returns, only exchanges and store credit." So I explain to her "when I purchased those shorts here a couple weeks ago your employee told me I could do a cash return I specifically asked for that reason and she told me as long as the receipt tag and condition was good, she said no problem." This was her response and why I will not be shopping at him and 94 again I will tell others why they should not shop there either. She said " sorry, so did you want to just keep them?" keep in mind these are $60 pair of board shorts that are completely useless to me since they don't fit anybody in my family. I said " why would I keep them they don't fit. I think that's kind of messed up I can't return these, you know I'm gonna have to blog about this." This was her response "well you know we're small company, it's quite common for a small company to do this". What, to lie to your customers? I didn't say that out loud but that's all I needed to hear to end my relationship with hanger 94. It's not about the money because if it was I wouldn't be shopping at here 94 in the first place the place is a little pricey. But the whole lying to a customer just to get a sale thing, that kind of service really gets on my nerves. And she didn't even try to right the mistake. Instead she made an excuse for her employee and acted like That happens all the time and I need to get over it. And now that I think about it, that wasn't my first time dealing with attitude at the store either, oh but to be lied to and then to have the manager make an excuse for her employee lying is where I draw the line. $60 isn't a ton of money but it's substantial and should not be disregarded as it was today. I went online as soon as I left the store to see if I can find the same shorts for a cheaper price and sure enough for $42 they sell them at Macy's almost $20 cheaper. Sorry hanger, that was uncalled for. I even told her Right after she made an excuse for her employee that I was gonna blog about this. Sorry guys, that may be Carmen the way you do business at your store, but I will not shop at at the store that tolerate that kind of customer service and either do any of my friends or family. I guess you can afford to lose a few customers, most can't during this difficult time. More power to you. Hope that D+ customer service works out for you guys Oh I almost forgot, the cherry on top was, right before I walked out she said "hold onto this receipt, it's as good as money". Lol maybe because I'm Mexican but it wasn't for me today. read more

Incredible selection of everything. The only place in east county to get what you need. But, the service is weird. The guys up in snowboarding are cool and helpful. The lower area is not well run. The girls at the counter are not well trained. They are kind snotty and more into their gossip than customer service. I shop there, but I walk out thinking, How do they stay in business? read more

The customer service here is asstastic because its awful. I came here looking for roller skates for my wife. No employees even spoke to me and when i asked if they had more sizes . They told me no with the worse attitude and stared at me like i was stupid. Id rather go to a real skate shop or buy it online. read more

My 12-year-old son saved up $ for a year to buy his 1st surfboard. Today he spent $302.50 on a Raven surfboard then came home & noticed that the front says URFBOARD (instead of SURFBOARD). I called & spoke to managers Damon & John... Although this is a huge manufacturer's defect, it doesn't affect the way the surfboard rides so they wouldn't give him even $1 back. Yes, they did offer to let him swap it for another board but they don't have another board in his size. My son is no longer excited about his first surfboard. He is embarrassed to take it to the beach now for fear he will be teased about it. My son was so excited and is now absolutely heartbroken. We used to bring tons of business to Hanger 94 but now that we see what type of people their managers are, we won't be shopping there anymore. Off to tell BBB next... read more
