I got two scoops, Rocky Road and pecan, both were delicious. They got really cool wooden Picnic tables too. On hot days especially, this place will be extremely popular. The owner is extremely cool. He mentioned that he's bringing back the Doheny Paddle Fest this summer too. He has a passion for thrifty ice cream, paddle boards, the community, Dana point, he's been in business for decades, I remember coming here as a teen. Additionally, The employees were all chill. At the moment, this is the only place that I know of that serves thrifty ice cream here in Orange County. So I was willing to pay a lot. - but didn't have to because all the prices were great. Not worthy, they did everything correctly, such as using the special thrifty brand scooper, wearing gloves, they had all the right cones. Multiple flavors too. It was all perfectly done. We Plan on coming back here Real soon with more family members and friends! (additionally I met some really nice people that were enjoying the thrifty ice cream because it's so retro, and the place is so inviting that it's a great place to make new friends.)

I was pleasantly surprised by how big the store was, yet how small it felt like an old school surf shop like the one I used to hang out at back in Venice and Santa Monica. Obviously the times have changed and the equipment has become better, and the prices have gore accordingly. One of the best things about the Catalyst shop besides the online customer support team, was how friendly and knowledge the staff was. They answered any questions I had about the new was of measuring surfboards... by Liters. I'm and American, and have no idea what the metric system is! Al kidding aside they explain it to me in a little more detail, and that was enough for me. Back to the point, the Catlayst shop on El Camino was a throwback to the 80s and 90s and in my old age, that is a huge compliment. Thanks. Shout out to Camden and Eric for their help more recently.

My custom board was received with multiple dings and scratches. They used foam wrap at the ends of the board which isn't sufficient at all when UPS is handling the delivery. They offered a measly $200 refund while they probably pocketed the rest of the UPS claim money for the board.

Apparently my legally registered service dog isn't welcome here. I've shopped at Jack's Surf Shop…read moremany times without an issue, so this was a complete surprise. The man who approached me, who I believe was the manager, told me that even service dogs weren't allowed inside. He wasn't respectful or willing to have a conversation, he simply pointed me toward the door and made it clear I needed to leave. What made the experience even more disappointing was that another customers walked out with me and shared their own negative experiences with the same manager. It's hard to understand how someone with such poor customer service is still representing the store. He's driving customers away, not bringing them in. I won't be returning after the way I was treated. (Manager was and older grouchy man)

Eddie took the time to help us find the perfect setup based on his size, ability, and where we'd be riding. He was incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and just an all-around great guy. We took the new board out the very same day, and my son was absolutely shredding on it. Seeing how much fun he had made the trip completely worth it. The shop has a huge inventory, prices were very fair, and it's obvious these guys actually live and breathe bodyboarding--not just sell equipment. If you're into bodyboarding, this should be your first stop. I also noticed a couple of negative reviews complaining that inexpensive boards folded and the shop wouldn't replace them. As someone who's been around surfing and bodyboarding for a long time, that's not really how this works. Bodyboards come in a wide range of constructions and price points, from beginner models to high-performance boards with stringers and premium materials. The cheaper boards simply aren't designed to perform or last like higher-end models. That's a product choice, not a shop issue. No one expects a surf shop to replace a surfboard that gets broken in the waves, and bodyboards are no different. I'm a big believer in supporting local businesses, especially ones run by people who genuinely know their craft. 662 has earned a customer for life. We'll definitely be back.

Perfect Place for First Skateboard!…read more We had the best experience at Republik of Kalifornia in San Clemente! My son was building his very first skateboard, and the staff went above and beyond to make it special. They took the time to explain every part -- from the deck to the trucks and wheels -- and made sure he understood how everything worked. The team was incredibly patient, friendly, and genuinely excited to help him create something that felt like his own. The vibe in the shop is so welcoming -- cool, creative, and full of that true SoCal skate spirit. You can tell they really care about the community and the next generation of skaters. We left with a beautifully built board, a huge smile on my son's face, and a new favorite local shop. Highly recommend Republik of Kalifornia to anyone looking for authentic, knowledgeable, and down-to-earth service. We'll definitely be back!

I demo'd a firewire board last weekend at salt creek, and the van left with my drivers license before I could return the board. I had no way to contact them or anything, but I remembered that the Ripcurl store sometimes has that van there but I don't think they they had anything to do with the current demo event I was partaking in... Anyway so I called around asking what to do, and finally reached Matt, who went above and beyond by taking my number down, getting in contact with the guy driving the Firewire Demo van, and having him drop off my Drivers License at the Ripcurl store, and said I could come in anytime to return the board and take my DL. He literally saved me a massive headache and 3 hours of driving down to the Firewire store in San Diego (far from my home) to get my DL back from them had Matt not been the middle man and handled the issue swiftly. He has always been super nice and helpful when I'm in the store (just like all the employees) but he really went above and beyond this time and I'm extremely grateful!
