    Doesn't get any easier than a SUP board dolly.

    I've been going to LJ Surf Systems for the past year to rent a paddle board at the shores. The shop is crazy close to the beach and they provide a board dolly to make the haul extra easy. You get a dolly pad lock too to keep is safe at the shoreline. I've always had the owner help me and I see that people on yelp say he isn't extra friendly, he's always been kind and straight to the point with me, letting me know how the surf conditions are fairing. Go here for a quick and easy rental experience.

    My cousin and I decided to rent Stand-Up Paddle boards. We called ahead to make sure they had some available which they did so we headed down. The staff was very friendly and accommodating and they even gave us a locker to keep our keys and phones. The boards and paddles were satisfactory as were the life jackets. The downside is the 2 block walk to the beach from the rental site is kinda a hike and difficult on a busy weekend. I would still rent from them again and maybe try the kayak tour next time!

    Amazing quality paddle boards. Not like the cheap inflatable ones up the street.

    Surf systems is a great place to rent equipment for the beach. I rented a paddle board and it was perfect. I got two hours on the water which was just the right amount of time. I highly recommend coming here if you are interested in paddle boarding or kayaking.

    This is where the handle broke, and there was coincidentally a black piece of silicon surrounding the area.

    Friendly, cheap, and super easy place to rent boards! They were fast and courteous. We'll definitely be back when we're in La Jolla!

    The time spent On the kayak was amazing, Dolphins ended up playing all around us while we ate our packed lunch.

    VUORI @ LA JOLLA…read more Street parking is available throughout the area, along with parking right out front. Parking is free for two hours, and when I came on a Saturday afternoon, it wasn't packed at all. I really love Vuori. This was actually my first time shopping in-store, even though I've heard so many great things about the brand from friends. My boyfriend and I stopped by while doing some Christmas shopping, and I wanted him to try on a few jackets. I especially loved their fleece jacket, which is around $140. They also have a great selection of shorts, both lined and unlined in colors like green, blue, black, and gray. I'm a big fan of the store's overall aesthetic. The service was great from the moment we walked in, we were immediately greeted, and everything in the store was very organized. The fitting rooms were spacious, and I loved that there was a comfy seating area where I could relax while my boyfriend tried things on. The staff was super friendly and helpful. I ended up spending about $330 and picked up their iconic tote bag, which is really cute. If it's your first time shopping at Vuori, you can sign up on their website to get 20% off, which is a great perk. Overall, I loved my experience at Vuori and would definitely recommend stopping by. It's clearly a popular brand in La Jolla, I see so many people wearing it, and I'll definitely be returning to this location.

Loved trying on the Butterscotch jacket as well as the Toffee Restore Sweatshirt- keeping my eyes on those for a future purchase.

    I haven't been to REI in a while so I was unaware that they opened up a new building dedicated to…read moreaction sports only: biking, skiing, snowboarding, etc. It was a nice surprise to have more options and to have the extra space to roam around. Since REI is located in an industrial street, there are many parking spots available for this building and the main building. My husband and I took our snowboards to get waxed. This time around, we opted to pay for the hot wax as opposed to their free machine wax. The hot wax is usually $36 each but they were having a promo that it's half off until March. We went on a Saturday mid-afternoon and it took only about 20 minutes. I also wanted to buy some new boots and I put my name down on the sign up sheet on the clipboard. I was the next one in line and thought the wait wouldn't be too long but I still ended up waiting about 30 minutes to be seen. It seemed there was only one guy dedicated to the boot fitting area. After a while, I ended up approaching another worker and thankfully he said he was able to help me out. *Tip if you're going for boot fitting: put your name down on the list but also just ask anyone with a green vest to see if they can help you out so you don't end up unnecessarily waiting a while. I'd like to give Mike a huge shoutout for helping me find the right boots! He was so personable and he took the time to explain what I should feel. He suggested I put insoles in my boots because I have flatter feet and it made a whole difference, so I really appreciate that. Overall, we had a great experience and received wonderful customer experience between getting our boards waxed, fitting for my new boots, and checking out.

    I feel like REI used to be like ACE hardware. You went there with a loose idea and could ask…read morequestions to the associates to figure everything out. Now it feels like going to Lowes where the associates just push whatever is most expensive. I'm bummed out because I felt like I learned something new on old trips to REI.

This came in handy for Black Friday because there were a lot of eager shoppers, but not a suffocating amount.

I love love love the stuff I got here

    I would like to first start off by saying that the clothing at this store is very well made. The…read morecolors are nice, the fabric is comfortable, and the double-stitching is durable. I live nearby and went into the store for the first time the other day. Sales clerk were friendly, but a little too much in your face. Not as tacky as the Lululemon staff, but equally nice. They kept pushing on the idea that this store is different since the clothing is "ethically" made in the USA. I bought a shirt and shorts and when I came home and thought about it, the concept they advocated is a load of crap and frankly, misleading. There is nothing wrong with having clothes made in other part of the world. What is unethical is to offer them next to nothing in wages, poor working conditions, and lack of basic benefits. When Nike pays workers in Vietnam according to their "cost of living," they are misleading us because no one should sacrifice lunch to buy a bar of soap. The shorts I bought were $95. They are comfortable but overly priced. The shirt I bought is more reasonable, and I didn't buy it because it was "ethically" made; I bought it because I liked the color, the style, and the fit. So, PLEASE STOP telling people that they are "ethically" made. Just because it's made in Long Beach doesn't mean it's made ethically. Look at your factory and see how many parts used to make textiles come from China, or Europe, or a dozen other countries. We live in an international community that is interdependent on other economies. The least you could do is to make them in other countries and offer them the same conditions we have and help their impoverished economies. If you want to advocate nationalism or "buy American," it would be more believable. But to have a showroom in La Jolla, paying top dollars in rent, and sell a 1 sq. meter fabric with a drawstring for $95 AND calling it "ethical" is NOT ethical. It's just American. Having said that, I think the clothes here are great and are equally comparable to their competition 4 doors down. Incidentally, this morning I went for a run with my Yogasmoga shirt and Lululemon shorts and felt just as a good.
