What a great Place. We purchase boards here last year for the kids and most people would think…read morethese are a little expensive are they really worth it?? Absolutely. The best purchase we made. In the past we would have to buy multiple boards a year but these are quality boards that can take the abuse. The boards aren't even the best part the staff are. Had a small issue with one of the boards and the took care of it in no time. I highly recommend Kona it's definitely worth it!!

Buyer BEWARE!! Spent $700 on a brand new board. It was used less than 10 times. Then it snapped in…read morehalf - see pic below. We walked into the store and the three employees said they had "never" seen anything like it before. One of the employees said she had not seen this in "25 years". Brian, the owner is called over and says he sees this "once a week" and there's nothing he can do. He refused to take even a dollar off a used board and said it was our problem. He also said rather obviously untrue things like "I'm already losing $50" on each used board he was selling. I think anyone who can add or subtract knows this isn't the way a business would stay in business, although he obviously has. I would dissuade anyone who thinks this is a reasonable Business - and watch out because he said that you could go out "once" and "for the first time" on the board and have this happen. This is obviously shocking as $700 is a huge amount money I thought would provide years of surfing, especially when going a few times a season. Honestly, very disappointed in the owner as even his own employees were clearly honest when all 3 said they have never seen this.

My wife was looking for a particular soft surfboard. After calling around to various surf shops we…read morefound the one she wanted at Ocean Outfitters. Living in Upstate NY we wouldn't be able to get down there until the weekend. No problem, they held it for us until we drove down this past Saturday. When we got to the shop, it even had a slip of paper with her name on it so it wouldn't accidentally be sold. It was the last of that size and brand. And since it's now after Labor Day, I'm guessing they won't restock until next season. I don't know the guy's name behind the counter, but he did mention he's been surfing the Jersey shore over 50 years. He was amazing. He was the benchmark for awesome customer service. He set up her board with the fins and leash. Gave her a tip about securing the leash when putting the board away. He gave her all kinds of other advice and easily answered every question she threw at him. Now, to put this in perspective, we had been to a shop in Rhode Island and the guy behind the counter was trying to sell her a more advanced board that she didn't want. I told her not to get it. Get the one you want, develop your muscle memory, then get a hard board later down the road. And when I told this to the guy at Ocean Outfitters, he said "Yes! That's what we tell the people that come here for lessons." All in all a very cool experience. I would definitely be back. Will definitely check here first for any other surfing needs.

I was in this store during a busy Saturday and watched a woman try to return a bikini that was…read morepurchased 3 weeks prior with a stain. She claimed her flighty daughter or her daughter's friend purchased the string bikini three weeks ago with a stain and didn't notice it??? Lady was returning because her daughter "works two jobs"??? The return was clearly against the policy written on the receipt. The woman was insanely out of line and said she would write a bad review...?? To give a store owner a bad review for your daughter's mistake like this is repulsive. I wish I had spoken up for the store owner in the moment. She was extremely professional despite Karen (Jennifer L below) bogus rant and claim. Jennifer L. - teach your daughter the right lesson here. These stores are what make Stone Harbor village center so special! shop local!!

Horrible treatment and ignorance by the owner on an item that clearly had stains on it, was…read morepurchased as a gift and would not accept the item back.

I'm not the image of a skateboarder (I'm middle aged, overweight and under flexible) but when I popped upstairs to look at some board parts, I was greeted with respect, good questions, and good nature.

When it's time to finish outfitting the commemorative deck I received as an award, I'll be back.

The girls at the front gave a dirty look up and down and didn't say hello never asked what we could need help with. We ended up finding a $60 dollar pair of sunglasses and left. After returning home (we are 0.3 miles away) we found out the glasses screw was coming out so after about 30 mins we went back to exchange them and were told they could not. It's disappointing how bad the customer service is here. If you don't look like them / worth their time they will not cater to you apparently. Will not be coming back

They have a certain taste that makes me suspicious of them while still wanting to keep eating them. But it's a sportswear shop... what else could you expect? I take stars off because of the cashier experience. I asked if there was anything that the shot glass could be wrapped in, and he said yes and handed me the paper, rather than wrapping it for me. There's nothing particularly wrong with this, it just is bad form that kind of bothered me. The cashier also seemed disinterested and unhappy. I did really appreciate the vibe and music of the place though. Good selections!

Highly recommend shopping here -- can't wait to go back next trip!
