They have a lot of variety which makes it such a great surf shop to check out. It's really easy to find parking on the side of the building in their lot and/or street parking. Their customer service is great as well as they always greet us, ask us if we need any help, and also help when we do have questions. Everyone is really kind and helpful honestly. Makes shopping here such a good experience.

I was stressed and had little time to find something to wear since I had a busy day ahead and this was my last chance to find something. Charlie and Shane were so kind to help me find a dress while hyping me up and giving exceptional customer service. Great customer service at retail stores is hard to come by nowadays and this Sun Diego location never disappoints!

We had a horrible experience. Our money was deposited in August for an order we needed by…read moreSeptember 23rd. We received mulitiple excuses as to why we didn't have our order. It took me and two others to track Shawn, the owner down. After constantly asking, we got our order at 9:30pm on the 25th, by meeting the guy in a local park in his white van. Turns out, the count was off and the shirts were done incorrectly. In addition to this, the shirts were different brands and qualities. It was such a nightmare. In fact, it was not until Thursday, October 9th that I had to drive to his house to pick up the remainder of the order. DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY.

I've always seen many of their comical posts on Instagram, so I decided to head down to Real Surf…read moreShop in Oceanside to what it's all about. Located off the main road 101, Real Surf is an Oceanside shop that caters to all of your surfing needs. It's where you can rent your board, wetsuit, wax; the works and hit the water (which is just a couple of blocks down the road). I don't surf, but I could see that their board inventory was extensive and their customer service was knowledgeable and superfriendly. But the apple of my eye was definitely their clothing line!! Real Surf Shop has the BEST locally-themed clothing inventory in the city. I'm not talking about generic, tourist-styled designs with "Oceanside" on them. I'm talking about some very witty, comical logos and designs that are indicative & representative of life in Oceanside. If you're an Osider or city local, you NEED to get one of their shirts, tanks, hoodies or hats. Some Logos Include: "Keep Oside Real" "Localization Not Gentrification" and "Oside Takes Care of its Own" All of these should resonate with an Osider. Even more importantly, the staff is down-to-earth and truly care about their community. They give back to and are representative to the spirit of the Oceanside Community Unity. So, whether it's for your surfing needs or just to get a unique shirt that shows you love Oceanside, The Real Surf Shop is where it's at!

Spent some time in Asylum buying a couple bracelets and hunting for sandals for my college-age son…read more The owner (I believe?? Rich?) was incredibly helpful explaining the differences in sandals, how to fit them, and with helping us figure out which were best for my kid. He let him try on all the pairs, talked to him about which were better for his needs and how they should fit. He didn't have to do any of this, but did! Challenge was they were sold out of my son's size. This man coulda tried to talk him into something else (wherein we would have left temporarily happy but ultimately displeased), but he did not. He sent us down the way to another local shop in the hopes they'd have what we needed (they also did not). We returned and he made sure to give my son the model info so we could buy the right ones on our own and was super helpful and pleasant about all of it. Sure, I would have preferred to buy them directly at the store, but it wasn't to be and unlike some big box or online place, he gave wonderful human service like only a small shop can. 100% recommend coming here for some shopping. They have a good wetsuit selection, body boards and surf boards for sale, wax, Vans, swimsuits, sandals, clothing and more. The inventory is great and the staff is a bonus. Thanks again, Asylum!

Prices of course as quite inflated since it's so close to the Strand. If you need essentials stay inland for your sunblock and whatever. I love the Oceanside Low Life gear. It is homage to the locals and the surfing culture. Typically representing Oside with this hat more often than not. Worth supporting the real locals!! Check it out.

I tried on a few things and I was really impressed with the quality, come to find out the suits in store are made from one role of fabric so if there is something I like I can ask about a different size or cut. I think the prices are actually really fair for the quality of the pieces and will def stop in here again- customer service is 100000000000+++++.

These boards won't let you down. I have ridden these boards for 20 years and they all work great and are made to last! If you go into the garage or order online these guys at the JS garage will dial you in. If you are a beginner, intermediate or expert surfer or water person they will help you with the right board and products and answer all your questions. These guys are great surfers that know about surfboards and provide A Plus customer service so go get a quality surfboard go get a JS!!!

Was going through some old things in storage and came upon a set of fins I bought online directly…read morefrom Watermark quite a few years ago. Just such an overall bummer with these. The front part of the left fin base covers the fin box screw so it cannot get installed properly. I guess who needs the screw right? Maybe just glue em in with resin? At the time I bought em, I was pretty stoked on the price and not having to pay an arm and leg that the big name brands typically charge (and to also support a non big brand), but shows what I know. Sent them an email regarding this issue, but never got a response so I'm stuck with these. Maybe I'll sand off that base? Anyways, hope the quality control has improved since.
