Shane and Josh were positive, encouraging, patient, and inspiring throughout the entire session. Their passion and enthusiasm made such an impact that our son finished his morning lesson from 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. and couldn't wait to come back for an evening ride from 5:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. The entire experience was truly amazing. Thank you both for creating lifelong memories and helping build our son's confidence and excitement. We are incredibly grateful for everything you do. We will absolutely recommend you to others and will definitely be back. Please continue inspiring young people the way you do. We look forward to seeing you again soon! Rich G

I walked in the shop looking for a spearfishing wetsuit. Randy came down and immediately started asking all the right questions (I used to work in a surf shop, so I know a thing or two about selling a wettie). He got me in what he thought would be the best fit and value for money. After trying on two more suits, his first suggestion was the one I walked out with. Randy was a proper bloke and I enjoyed chatting with him about all things watersports -- dude knows his stuff and is a pleasure to shop with. Can't rave enough about that guy's attitude and overall demeanor. Bill, the owner was super helpful as well! Both of them make for amazing guest experience while shopping. Helpful, honest, funny with no car salesman-y tactics. At PBDS you get a no bullshit experience and can be sure you're walkin out with the right stuff. Thanks -- Chris

The big white rock, to my amazement, is largely hollow and we paddled right through it! Even "surfed" some waves. The owner and guide went out of their way to make it simple and fun. A must-do if you are visiting Pismo, whether you are a beginner or experienced.

The guys knew how to grip it and mount the rails & tail bone, just like how shops in the 80's did it. Customer service was excellent. I come up here every couple months and will be sure to stop by again. Bottom line: if you need a skateboard, go here. They'll have what you need at a fair price.

The Wife and I were in Avila for my birthday week. We decided to rent some bikes to take on the…read moretrail that leads out to the Avila Barn. I ended up picking e-bikes and The Wife was terrified. She said, "If one of us dies, I'll be so mad at you!" She really did say that. We waltzed into the bike shop, in the group of shops right off Front Street. Easy peasy. The gentleman running the place was super nice and answered all of our questions and gave us some options to choose. We looked around and picked a couple of bikes that looked like standard, step through beach cruisers. I skipped the helmets, just to mess with The Wife. The nice dude went through the operating such as throttle, brakes, kick stand, turning on/off, etc... We were ready to cruise the open highways, wind blowing through our hair as we sped helmet-less, laughing and yelling at people. We really didn't yell at people, or go on the highway, or speed. We did laugh and have a great time while not going more than 10mph! Ha! We were both a bit shakey to start, as we had not ridden any type of bicycle in some time. It was just like a pedal bike and in fact we peddled quite a bit and used the throttle for some of the small hills just to make it easier. We had a great time and when we returned the bikes, yet another nice dude met us and checked in the bikes. We hung out and chatted for a bit before venturing off to find some cocktails to sip by the beach. Oh, and on the way home The Wife said that she had a great time on the e-bike and maybe we should look into getting some. Huh? OK... Go! Ride Wild!! HAVE FUN!!!
