While unfortunately I am not a pro surfer, nor do I really enjoy being out freely in the ocean…read morewaters I still love this shop and come here quite often for things. My favorite products to get here are bikini tops and Sun Bum (aloe, sunscreen, and tanning oils). They also carry a variety of really cute, beachy clothing lines from all the popular brands amongst a few local designers. The prices are definitely high but they have sales every once and while and compared to other stores in Santa Barbara they are a little less expensive for the quality of products they provide. Their dressing rooms are small but cleanly. The decor is adorable and beachy. They have a small parking lot along the train tracks that can fit about 5-7 cars, or you can use street parking close by. All in all this is a probably a highly recommended custom, local surf shop with many sizes and options for boards. It's great for beach towels, bikinis, accessories, and clothing. Has equal amount of products for men and women, plus a little kids variety as well. Definitely worth a visit if you're a tourist and locals if you're looking for up and coming trendy bathing suits drop by and check this spot out.

I contacted the number listed and it was answered unprofessional. I thought I called the wrong number. Whoever answered sounded like it was a personal phone and they just said "Hello". Once I asked if it was the right number and what I should do I immediately realized there was zero customer service experience and they directed me to the website for the return/refund policy. After ordering over $270 of merchandise you would think they would cover the shipping cost. I won't be ordering directly from them again. Go to a local surfboards shop where they have great customer service.

I was impressed with their inventory and that had a pickleball bag that I had been eyeing online from a different website. I was so happy to find the bag in person here as I could gauge the size, material, and color (as sometimes online it's hard to tell). By them carrying this bag here it was a sign I had to buy it here. It was also the same price as the competitors website but this was much more conservative and no need to pay shipping, woohoo. The store had lots of other great accessories, from clothes, to hats, socks, bags, balls, paddles/tennis rackets you name it. The gal working the register today was super friendly and kind. Made us feel welcomed In the shop and rang us up quickly. Friendly attitude and definitely a place I'd come back again in the future for my sports needs.

As it turns out, all of the harbor seals, and sealions have names. We befriended one named Steve, he is much better at swimming than I am. He also taught me secret techniques to paddling. This one Pelican named Parry got into a barking match with some sealions, which is a fight he wasn't gonna win, let's be honest. Though I was hoping to see an M-A-N-A-T-E-E ... next time! If you're gonna go down on Haley street, where the dogs are easy and the sun is cheap, you never know just who you'll meet, on Haley. (But hopefully it's Rachel from the Santa Barbara Adventure Company, and you get her kayak tour; shout out!)

This would have been a 5 star review, however, I felt like just a few things could be improved on,…read moreso it's a solid 4.5 stars experience for me. For almost a decade now, I've been wanting to visit The Channel Islands National Park as it's one of the more unique US national parks which require a ferry ride to get over to the islands, so does require some planning. I booked the Santa Cruz Island kayak and snorkeling tour online and the process was simple and all instructions for the tour was laid out clearly and simply. It does recommend that you're intermediate level for both activities. On the day of tour, you do need to make sure you book your ferry tickets that coincide with the tour. You need to be on the 8am ferry out to be in time for the kayak and snorkel tour. They do have a harbor side 7:30am orientation and provide you with clear instructions on what to do as soon as you reach the island. Once on the island, another staff greets you, gives you another orientation and then you head over to the gearing up area. This took about 90+ minutes as you had to find the right wet suit, hood, mask, snorkel, fins, life vest, kayak jacket, and helmet. Note that a lot of the equipment is pretty well worn and I didn't have the best pair of fins (and forgot mines at home) as side clasps were sticky and not working properly. Masks also kept fogging up (and wished I had remembered my own mask). Wet suit was bit tighter than I like. You can use your own gear and next time when I come back, I'm bringing my own. Once everyone gears up, which does take awhile, everyone heads down to the shore and that's when we launch our kayaks, there are solos and tandems available. Kayak tour was great and we got to see at least 5 or 6 sea caves, a lot of fun! These sea caves are some of the most numerous in the world. I really enjoyed one of the sea caves that has a Green Room, water was gorgeous and so clear. Got to see plenty of cormorants, pelicans, sea kelp. I did get yelled at by one of the tour guides as he told me it was his fourth time having to tell me to zip up my life vest. I think it was a couple of times and not 4 but ok, I get it, safety first. It made me feel like a school kid again. I'm a pretty safe person and wished he could have been nicer about the information he needed to communicate to me. We then had lunch on a small beach and then geared up to snorkel. The water is fairly cold, probably around 60ish, so a 7mm wet suit and maybe more would be good. I wished I had some gloves and forgot my booties, which would have kept me a tad warmer. We snorkeled/swam for about a mile, saw snails, sea urchins, fishes, anemone, etc. We sort of lost time at the end of the tour and really had to rush to get back to our original point and we all had to kayak pretty quickly back. And to top if off, had to really work fast to get out of all our gear and wet suits are never easy to get out of. Made it in time for the ferry but barely and got stuck with some of last seats available on the ferry back. I feel like the timing of that could have improved. Overall, a very good experience just with some issues that could be improved one. Highly recommend this tour! I would do it again!
