Wow! Such a cute…read moreshop! We were told it's only been open in this spot since April but it was loaded with cute surf, swim and other items. Friendly staff inside greeted us and we were left to browse the end of season sales - tons of great name brand items were on sale in the back by the women's bikinis and swim. Def, worth a stop in if you're a local or visiting the beach and need some swim or surf essentials!

Absolutely terrible customer service. I ordered a pair of sunglasses. They come in two sizes. When…read moreI received them I realized that they were too big. I emailed customer support and they said they would be happy to send me the smaller size once they received the larger glasses. I sent back the larger glasses and they were delivered 8 days ago now. No response from the shop or customer support. I've emailed them multiple times, called multiple times, and left a voicemail. I don't understand how it takes 8 days to do this. I also am failing to understand how a shop has this poor of customer support. Not responding to emails or calls for 8 days is absurd. Extremely unprofessional.

I felt a bit like an imposition just by entering the store, as they were pretty disinterested in helping us. The lone lady came out after I asked about the classic prints and pretty much returned to the coffee clatch. We checked out some of the other items, but it wasnt my taste. I picked out a long sleeve classic, paid and left. Next time I'll order online.

We spent around $500 and were rushed out by the young kids trying to close the store . The dressing room was shut on us twice meaning locked out while taking clothes to the register . We had zero help and no enthusiasm for the store . We were not approached one time to see if we needed any help finding anything . We had to look for an associate multiple Times. We were super nice and not asking for anything over the top but felt very unwelcome and would have bought much more if the staff was warm and helpful . They clearly wanted to just close the store and were not even remotely friendly .... Such a shame / that place used to be a great place to go to while In VA beach . Will be our last time there ....

I'm a VB native that has been purchasing boards and clothing since WRV located on Norfolk Ave. I now live out of the area and only make it down a few times a year and when I do, I typically purchase WRV clothing for my three children since they're known as the "Beach Kids" in our mountain community & still manage to easily spend a few hundred dollars annually between VB & OBX locations annually. I attempted to exchange (& spend more) an unworn with tag intact logo tank top that my son did not like10 weeks after purchase. Associate told me I was past 30 day return window but he will allow it. I was a bit shocked because I knew I did not see any mention of this on the receipt, but I didn't have my readers when I was in the store. I also found a recent OBX receipt that does indeed list a 30 day return policy. Website has a bit of a contradiction for period of return/exchange. Just wanna let management know so they can decide what their policy truly is and updated on the receipt, website, and train their employees.

My three children wanted to take skateboarding lessons. We decided to try Coastal Edge and had an…read moreincredible experience at the camp and with our skateboard shopping experience (but it was much more than that). I want to comment about the skate camp first. My kids ended up taking a the week long camp with John Fudala. John and Denise were amazing with them (ages 9,9,6). The kids learned an so many tricks and techniques - I couldn't believe how much and how quickly they learned. Their confidence levels increased every day, and they had an absolute blast. The kids have repeatedly told me that this was one of the best camps they've ever been a part of, and they done many different types of camps during their young lives. John and Denise made it so much fun (costumes, music, pizza, and a mellow environment). As a parent, I really appreciated listening to the life lessons they were teaching the kids about perseverance, practice, and hard work while they taught them how to skate safely. I highly recommend it and hope to come back in August once they've had a chance to practice :) Now, I want to comment about the store experience. My daughter fell in love with skateboarding, so I decided to get her a better board than she had. John and the staff at the store helped us pick out the right board for her. Having been in customer-facing positions my entire life, I am not easily impressed, but I was blown away by Tanner who works at Coastal Edge. She was amazing. She went ridiculously far above and beyond. The backstory is that my daughter had seen the right size, type, and color (pink) the day before, but it had sold by the time we decided to buy it the next day. She saw my daughter - who that day was the only girl at the camp - and wanted her to fall in love with the sport. So, she took my mobile number so i could go to work. Within an hour, she had called every single Coastal Edge location multiple times looking for the right board. She found one, but it wasn't pink. My daughter could have lived with a masculine board, but Tanner saw her in all pink pads, shoes, shorts, etc. and decided that she was going to get my daughter a pink board no matter what. Tanner talked to a friend of hers, Jenah (also another stellar employee), and they offered to take the board home that night, sand it, and paint it pink (with my daughter's favorite things: unicorns, rainbows, flowers) out of sheer kindness. They asked for Isabella's input on the design (I sent them a drawing she had made). They took it and made something really special. The brought it to Isabella on day 2 of her camp. Jenah wasn't working at that location, but came any way to give the board directly to izzy and to watch her take her maiden voyage on it. When I asked about payment, they only asked for some chocolate chip cookies. There is so much to be negative about in the world, but these young women have me hopeful about the future. They made a massive impact on my daughter and a huge impression on me. I will encourage my daughter to pay it forward someday when she's a little older. I never write review either, but this was the very least I felt I should do for what was an amazing week. Any company is only as good as its people, and Coastal Edge has amazing employees. THANK YOU for an amazing camp and life experience this week!

I went on the 930 am tour out of first landing on the beach, and I must say, every guide was knowledgeable, professional, and safety oriented. That to me, is the most important. What sets this apart from other companies? Firstly, Matt, the owner, answered all my questions regarding what your to take, and, he has been in business for over 27 years. The historical side of the tour is fascinating, as the guides talk about the maritime history as well as the anthropological history of the area. The company does provide dry bags just in case. The icing on the cake was having a bottle nosed dolphin swim within five feet of my kayak! Superb.

I was nervous about the 1:4 ratio, but since they were on the younger end, it was mostly a 1:2 or 1:3 ratio for them. I had visions of them being pulled under a wave and being traumatized by the ocean forever, and it's true they did get hit by the board a few times, but the instructors were so positive that the kids didn't mind much, kind of like how falling is a fact of life when you're learning to walk (but we don't tell kids not to learn to walk). I learned a thing or two too - instead of reaching to a bad wipeout with "Are you ok??", I can try saying "Sick wipeout dude!" :) The one thing I would note is to pay attention to the tides - I think the camps are better at low tide.
