Wow the service here is exceptional! I originally got my first pair of skates through the Sharks…read moreIce Pro Shop and the employee there had no guidance on fitting or any recommendations -- they were nice there but essentially told me to just pick whatever size was comfortable. So, here we are 2 months later and out $300, looking for better fitting skates and an actual pro shop that specialized in fittings. The two women who work here are so sweet, give you all the information you need to know, and have real experience with fitting you properly. The fitter was so patient with me and answered all of my questions. After I got home and retried on my new skates, I had a concern about the mount of the blades and they responded thoughtfully within minutes (at 9:30pm on a Saturday!!). I felt so bad but I tend to over worry and it was so nice having someone reassure me. The service here is clearly on an entirely new level than other pro shops. Their price is the same as competitors and what you would get online, but you also get free fitting (my appt took over an hour because they're just that thorough), punching out, heat molding and blade remounting all included. You really can't get any better than that. I'm praying that they're here for many more years to come. Thank you so much for the wonderful experience.

Of the four tennis shops in the peninsula they are by far my favorite. After a decade hiatus from…read moretennis, I started off with reviving my college racquet which I was never happy with in terms of strings. Vincent recommended a string type and tension that dialed in my setup. He was always lending an ear with my challenges and helping me refine my configuration, whether its shrinking my grip, recommending subtle string tension adjustment depending on the season or working with me as a decided to test drive a plethora of strings that he would recommend. A year into realizing I am committing back to Tennis I decided to demo racquets and Vincent patiently worked with me for a year testing various racquets to help me choose a winner. Even when stock was low shortly during covid, I didn't want to buy my racquet elsewhere until they could get the racquet and grip size I wanted. They never pressured me to settle for a different racquet and never once when I was using my dated racquet from college did they try to upsell me on getting a new one. Through Zalles I am beta testing a sensor that helped me collect great metrics that gave me insights on my strokes where Sara and Surina have been instrumental in that. They are my go to shop for anything and everything tennis, whether its racquets, strings, ball machine or trainers. As I work towards by 4.0 rating, I decided to go for more precision and control racquets and again Zalles did not disappoint through their great demo program.

Been a while being in a tennis focused store, but brought me back to my childhood where there is…read moretennis stuff everywhere, not just a few racquets, or shoes, every wall is covered in Tennis/pickleball stuff. Very great customer service, I see why it almost 5 stars!! If you are new to tennis, start here, the knowledge is way better than what you can find online or at Big 5! I had a rep trying to explain what new racquet would best match my 15 year old tennis racquet!! haha. Demo program is like $15 and you can take out 2 racquets for 7 days, seems like a good deal!

After playing pickleball for a year I was in the hunt for a new paddle. Their demo program is…read moreincredible. I was able to try a bunch of paddles over the course of a couple months at no extra cost in the end other than the cost of the paddle you end up buying. They have demos of every paddle they sell and they carry pretty much every major paddle from all the main brands and a few I've never even heard of. I'm so glad I did this because I actually ended up finding a paddle that would have never been on my radar otherwise. Finding the right paddle for my style has absolutely elevated my game. So many people throw hundreds of dollars blindly on a paddle they've never tried. Im glad I didn't do that as I'm now more confident in every part of the court with the right equipment for me. You get so much more for your money when shopping at a place like this. On top of the obvious value here, their customer service is top notch. They had great communication throughout all of my demos and were really helpful making sure I was able to try every paddle I wanted in a timely manner. Why anyone would blindly buy a paddle they've never tried online when a place like this exists blows my mind.

A different kind of review…read more I visited Tim's shop to seek a fix on my snowboard for a couple of core shots that happened early season. I'm someone who keeps their boards for a long time, but this year was the year I happened to upgrade. I brought in my new Burton Custom to see if Tim's shop could take on the fixes. I was pretty bummed out, and I knew I needed to take care of filling these core shots if I wanted to keep this board like my other ones for many years. Tim graciously inquired, "have you done any kind of repair work on your boards before?" I said I have not. He then was very encouraging and said I should try and do the work. It is labor intensive, and I could learn for future repairs. I ride trees and backcountry a lot. Tim then told me what to buy and hooked me up with metal grind and p-tex for free. Well, after a few YouTube videos and buying my own tune kit, I finished the repairs and tune today and it turned out so good! Even though I didn't get anything serviced at Tim's shop, he was cool and "taught me how to fish." I could have spent the same amount of money to get it fixed at Tim's shop or other, but now I learned a life long skill that is in an industry I love so much. Tim's shop was super busy with tunes and fixes, and I'm sure that's part of the reason he was encouraging for me to take on doing the work. But ultimately, I think he saw someone who is passionate about snowboarding and could learn something really useful. Thanks for the challenge Tim, I might start charging my friends to fix their gear :-) Justin

Prime example of an excellent local business, came in for a standard tune up for my snowboard and…read moreTim immediately took great care of me. Listened to the issues I was having it, busted out the screwdriver and diagnosed it on the spot, took it in for a fair price and got it back to me the day we agreed on looking absolutely pristine. And gosh the tune up job was almost too good, I was flying down the slopes, and even traversing catwalks it felt like it just wanted to go. Can't recommend this shop enough. Yes it's a bit more expensive than your big business spots but the peace of mind and clear care for your equipment is worth it to me personally. Will be coming back for all of my maintenance needs.

Not the typical indoor slope user (expert skier who's done every kind of lesson/drill/clinic that's…read moreout there), but I've found the setup and instruction at Adventurous to be fantastic so far. It's basically a controlled version of snow skiing with much more friction, so every weakness in your form and technique is amplified 10x. Basically, snow sliding in slow motion. I'm finding it invaluable to prep myself for snow season AND to explore movements/drills that would usually be too risky or potentially injurious to use on the snow. Also, huge shoutout to the instructor, Joad Stein. He deeply understands technique, progression, and how to adapt training to the individual user & background. I've trained with some of the best in skiing and he's absolutely at the elite level instruction & understanding-wise. Super enjoyable getting prepped and bouncing ideas off him, and I'm looking forward to the continuous improvement to come adding Adventurous to my ski prep regimen!!! I'd recommend it to everyone from complete novices to expert ski racers. It's that valuable (and far cheaper/less painful than the same experience up on the snow). Get your instruction out of the way in SF, then ENJOY and SHRED up in the snow!

After about 3 lessons I felt comfortable trying toe edge in the snow and after 5 I was able to carve on the bunny slopes.

I first learned of them while attending the Harvest Festival years ago. They also sell online. My mother fell in love with a leather purse that is a sling/backpack style.

I also have a couple of pairs of his sheepskin shoes/slipper/mocassins that come up to the ankle. Other than them stretching a little over the years the sheepskin and soles holds up extremely well. Rather than give my money to Uggs I prefer to give my money to a small business in the area. Wooly Rascals deserves it.
