I have to say, the guy who runs this shop knew me better than I knew myself: He suggested a 9-ft…read more hard board with a little less width and float than I was used to. I hesitated and was leaning towards a more expensive board with more volume, but he assured me that after a few sessions I'd dial it in. Now, 5-6 sessions later I love the board he suggested. I don't know what's up with the negative reviews about consignment, but as a buyer I loved this place.

Just like the other reviewers here, I was also a victim of this man's behavior…read more He accepts your board and tells you he will put it on consignment. Once he sells it, you (as the owner of the equipment) will not be notified. Gordie just pockets the money and hopes you will go away. The only thing you can do is take him to small claims court. Actually, the best thing you can do is avoid this shop entirely, then you don't need to grapple with necessary legal action in hopes of reclaiming your property. The man is a plague on the surf community, and it is only a matter of time before his business is defunct.

It's still my go-to board on busy SC days, letting me sit on the shoulder or at the peak, giving me paddle power and enough maneuverability to improve every day.
