The manager Jack surf shop did accuse me of stealing when I didn't and followed me across the parking lot to tell me that
Jill H.

This was absolutely the worst experience I've ever had at any business in my whole life We camp right across the street from the store at the state park campground quite a few times a year. Every time we go across the street to Jack's and shop and buy stuff and treat our self's so this time i I tried on six things I liked only one item fit so I took the shirt that fit and went to my boyfriend, and he said that we were coming back the next day to buy some stuff he needed a shirt and a boogie board bag so I put my shirt back and we walked across the parking lot to the Arco to buy peanut butter that we needed for our campsite while in the store looking at the peanut butter I look up and there he is the guy from the jacks surf shop, which is in pictured below he says, where is that shirt that you tried on I was mortified in front of everyone in Arco we then got in a full on argument in Arco, I told him I would show him where I put it which was on the same rack that I pulled it out of. We proceeded to go over there. I showed him then I asked him his name he wouldn't tell me. I asked him five times he would not tell me his name and then when he figured out, I didn't steal anything and wouldn't give me his name. He told me to leave the store, I have never been more insulted and more embarrassed in my life and I will be calling corporate tomorrow. I cannot believe it I don't even know his name but here's his picture I'm a palled, and after I looked at all the yelp reviews for this place everyone feels the same. They need to change management here. I can't believe they're ignoring all these yelp reviews. We overheard him talking to kids about how it was time for him to leave. He's been here working too long. it's sad because he ruined my weekend. I was planning on going over there and buying my stuff today. We always do so. We'll find a new surf shop in the area to buy from. Actually we already did while we were bike riding.This Place needs to make some management changes. I'm a manager, and I would never act this way at my job.

I bought a wet suit that was too small. I didn't try it on at the store because putting on a wet suit can be a task. I usually go nude and talc helps to slide in. And although I didn't wear it and it remained in the store bag which was a big mistake.. the boy manager said it was damaged because i left it in the bag. He did give me a lecture on neapreen. I should have gone to killer dana which is run by surfers not bean counters.

Security that doesn't work

BEST BEGINNER SURFBOARDS - ONLY $40 ALL DAY!…read more EASY, AFFORDABLE RENTALS Walk in, pick your board, and hit the waves! No reservations needed. Enjoy ALL-DAY rentals for just $40 - less than the price of renting at the beach where you only get the board for 2 hours! BETTER BOARDS FOR ADULT BEGINNERS The rental shops at Doheny Beach offer boards that work well for kids but are too narrow for most adults learning to surf. Rent a Storm Blade here instead! These boards are wider, more stable, and much easier for beginners to balance on. EXTRA-WIDE BOARDS = EASIER LEARNING If you're a complete beginner or struggle with balance, choose an extra-wide Storm Blade. The added stability makes standing up and catching your first waves much easier! BONUS: Built-in carrying handles on the Storm Blades make getting your board to and from the beach a breeze. THE BOTTOM LINE Better beginner boards. Less money ($40) for ALL DAY! THE SERVICE Fast and friendly. Show your ID, sign you waiver, and byeeeeeee!

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.)

Easily one of the best and most famous surf shops in OC. The original location opened in 1954, and…read moreas I understand it, it is known to be one of the world's first retail surf shops. I myself am from Southern California, so I'm all about Southern California history and surf culture, so I knew I had to stop in and check the items. The store itself is pretty large and has all different sorts of gear and clothing. The staff was also very friendly. It's in a large shopping center, so there's a giant free parking lot attached right in front. For this visit, I found some clothing items that I wanted and spotted some more gear that I planned to come back for in the future. I would definitely recommend to anyone in the area, and it's especially awesome to see they have many different brands as well as Orange County merchandise that you can only get here as well.

I stopped in to find myself a new, dark blue, full zip, Hobie hoodie. They were out of mediums and…read moresmalls! Come on! The flagship store of my favorite classic surf brand is out of there most iconic gear in the middle of Winter. I think someone in purchasing or merchandising, or logistics or store management needs a good talking to! All was not lost, the girl manning the register was so friendly and helpful. She apologized and tried to interest me in something else. Then she suggested I check the warehouse in San Juan Capistrano. I did. I found exactly what I wanted at 40% off. I was so happy I added a lid and t-shirt! The store was very nicely laid out. It was clean and cozy on a mid winter night. We walked across the parking lot for a quick dinner at Hennessy's Pub. They had live music and yummy sliders.
