If you need a sweet paddleboard and a soft roof rack to drive away with one, THIS IS THE PLACE!! After reading about PSW on Yelp, I decided that this was the place I had to go. I went here on a Friday afternoon. I had a unique situation because my car is weird. It is designed like a two door coupe, with a secret third door on the rear passenger side, with a hatchback. It also has a 3.5 inch fin on the rear roof for the antenna. But oh, was I determined to get a board on my roof. Despite my weird little car, Jeff worked some magic to get the board on my roof. Meanwhile, Mike cut my paddle and then strapped the board securely on my roof. In under an hour, I got the best customer service of my life and was ready to go paddle out. These guys are the best, I am so glad I found them. I will definitely be back in the future. Thanks, Jeff and Mike for your awesome customer service and for helping me out late on a Friday evening! In summary: World class customer service (very important!!) along with competitive pricing, soft racks in shop, and paddle is included with board purchase. Stoked! read more

Five stars doesn't even cut it! My daughter bought her first paddle board and I drove with it in my car for two hours to get to Newport Beach. It was very stressful having it in my car. A friend recommended that we check out the Paddle Board Warehouse and ask for Michael. He is an amazing guy. He immediately took my stress away. He set us up with pads, a cover bag, lockable strap, paddle, and extra gear. He went out to our truck and gave us a lesson on how to handle the loading of such a big board. He was patient and really took the time to help us. He made out trip - instant relieve. Great company... Great help... Great guy!! Thanx Michael!! read more

Cool shop! Nice selection of boards and a wall of paddles. I already have a board but wanted to get some ceiling racks for storage. I messaged the shop and within a minute someone responded. YES, they had the racks I wanted in stock. Drove over, and there were plenty in stock. The place was busy with people buying boards and checking into rentals, but the crew in the store handled it. What was nice to see, and what will get me back in the store, is that they had a lot of the other stuff you need or want to go along with your SUP. PFDs, racks, fins, tools, etc. Some shops blow it by having virtually no accessories in stock, not the case with PSW! read more

Great boards and amazing quality! The person in charge was able to give us a few tips on different boards and extra items needed. Then we were taught how to strap the paddles to the rack of our car. Great guys! read more

Great Boards and Service! Picked a SUP for my wife and she loves it! Awesome price and value for the board. Thanks guys

Top notch sales/service with both Jeff and Mike. High quality products well suited to paddle or surf. Helped with wifes issues about loading, unloading and carrying. read more

I researched boards for awhile and liked the styling of the Vesl boards. After comparing with other brands, I was attracted to the blend of price, weight and options that they offered. We drove up to Costa Mesa from Encinitas to pick up boards. They were super helpful and honest setting us up with a pair of boards. I originally wanted the touring board but Jeff steered me away from it. He thought that 12'6" Barracuda would fit my needs way better. It seemed like way more board than I wanted but after paddling on it for a couple months, I couldn't be happier! My girlfriend really likes the light weight of the boards. Unfortunately, my stock fin broke at the mount a few days ago. I got in touch with Mike and he got me a replacement super fast. Paddled on it last night and got 2 compliments on the board. You can buy boards from Vesl with total confidence! read more

Anyone can tell from Mike R's response to the previous review that he is one hell of a guy. My experience with PaddleSurf is something I would call AWESOME. FRIDAY AFTERNOON - I was looking for a good deal on a paddleboard, not something cheap but something nice and well made with a good price, and after Googling for a while I found the board that I like in the PaddleSurf website. I loved the fact that they offer live assistance through chat and that is where my AWESOME experience began. Mike was very informative and he knows his paddleboards well. He answered every question I had and anything else that I forgot to ask was answered promptly through e-mail. So, I finally I asked and he gave me an AWESOME deal. The only problem with that is I had to check with my better half before I commit to a purchase so I told him I will get back to him and he wished me luck. :) SATURDAY - On our way to a Hula Festival, right before we left. I got back on with Mike through chat on their website to let him know that I got the green light. He kept his deal and threw in a little bit more, I gave him my card and I am set. SUNDAY - I realized that the paddle I ordered with the paddleboard is not what I really wanted. So I wrote him an e-mail to let him know what I want. MONDAY - Mike responded to my e-mail to assure me that everything is fine including the change in my order and they proceeded to process my order and cut the paddle. I received an invoice through e-mail and it was followed by an e-mail from Adam to let me know that my board is on its way to me. TUESDAY TODAY- Right before I took my lunch, I received a call from our receiving department that I have a huge box waiting for my signature. It was my board, delivered overnight, FOR FREE. Opened it, inspected it and everything was there in order. The board was more AWESOME in person. I had a small issue and Mike just offered a replacement right away. I was just glad that I was able to take care of it from my end and did not have to be a burden to anyone. Big SHAKA to PaddleSurfWarehouse read more

I've been searching for a deal on a new or used SUP Board for a while, found this place and was like a secrete spot. Nice boards and prices were deal to the max. Don't tell everybody. Thanks Jeff, Thanks Chad! read more

Just picked up 2 boards. Awesome service and great clean shop. Very helpful and great looking boards.

Excellent service here. My boyfriend bought a SUP board and paddle last year from here. He ended up getting a Quickblade paddle and gave me the one that came with his board. They were so kind to not only size the paddle down to my height/arm length, but also didn't charge us for it for the work. It's a really nice VESL paddle too! Every time we stop by, they are informative and always have lots of solutions to issues that we might be having. Example: locking a SUP, how to repair a damaged spot on your board (or if is even necessary), etc. read more

These guys are awesome! I came in a few days ago to check out the boards and got to talk to Mike and Jeff. Both super nice and knowledgable. I wasn't ready to purchase a board quite then but I came back today and finally did it. Jeff was helpful with thinking about storage solutions as well. He was at my house less than an hour later with the board- hurray for free delivery!! I'm super excited to go out on my board tomorrow! Thanks for everything guys! read more

My husband and I wanted a stand up paddle board and we did not have muvh luck finding the right board at the local surf shops in Hermosa and Redondo Beach. We found the Paddle Surf Warehouse online so we decided to take a short drive south to check out their inventory. The staff were very knowledgeable in recomending the appropriate board and paddle for what were looking for. We eneded up buying a stand up board and paddle and have thoroughly enjoyed using it last summer. We will definately go to them for our next board. read more

We purchased a used board and the guys at the shop where super friendly helpful. Not only did they give us a good deal they through in a paddle for free. My wife is 4 months pregnant and we have a 15 month and are on a tight budget and appreciate the good deal and paddle. It is important to my wife to feel happy and healthy and riding the SUP board around the bay does that. We will refer any and all business to you. Thanks The Hensel Family read more

I cannot say enough good things about Paddle Surf Warehouse. Jeff and Mike are incredibly helpful and a pleasure to do business with. Whether you are in the market for a beautifully made SUP or just a few accessories, this is the place to go to admire boards and talk to wonderful people. read more

Aeesome deal! Great service! Great selection! Got just what we wanted at great price

I researched for weeks before purchase and also stopped in at many local San Diego Orange county sup dealers. By far the customer service to the quality of the product to the price was hands down superior. Mike and a younger gentleman took the time to explain the different boards and components that would best suit my needs for the sport. I give this place 10 out of 10 read more

I normally do not write Yelp reviews, but was compelled to share my recent experience with Paddle Surf Warehouse. In the market for a Tahoe SUP Thunderbird paddleboard, I came accross their website and noticed a great deal thatt I couldn't pass up. Apprehensive about making lage purchases of the Ineternet, a phone call to Jeff quickly allayed my concerns. He promised me fast shipping and that he would look out for me for any post-sale issues that arise with my board. I placed my order and didn't receive shipping information until three days later; however, this was an issue with the manufacturer, but Jeff and Mike stood up for me, got on the phone with Tahoe SUP, and the next day, I had a scheduled delivery. Jeff and Mike PROVIDE OLD FASHIONED EXCELLENT CUSTOMER SERVICE! They were very easy to deal with and are good, honest businessmen. I was very impressed with the post-sale support I received and am movtivated to share my experience with friends who may be in the market. It was a pleasure doing business and look forward to future purchases. Thank you Jeff and Mike! read more

I can't give this company enough stars for customer service! I was between two companies boards. After speaking with Jeff I knew it had to be a VESL! He answered all my questions with an enthusiasm for his board company. He went above and beyond to help guide me through my purchase. Thank you again, Jeff for everything!!! I love my board! It came packed with extreme care! read more

I stopped surfing several years ago and was looking to get into paddle boarding. So I stopped by the warehouse after doing some internet research for local paddle board shops. After speaking with Jeff he recommended a 10' footer. I'm very happy with my purchase, as the board handles really well and is a blast to surf. read more

Thank You to Michael Roberts and Jeff at Paddle Surf Warehouse. Awesome customer service skills, Mark Morales from Davis Trucking in San Diego, for being very patience and props to him as well. My Starboard looks great! read more

I purchased two paddle boards with bags, leashes, paddles and rail guards for a great price. I have a friend with a couple vesl boards so I know I will love them. The staff was very friendly. read more

Went in to look at the Quickblade paddles, which are somewhat difficult to find in a shop, so was a bit nervous not being able to talk to other shops and getting some more information. I already had a paddle, but the blade was a bit to small, and was meant for a lighter person. I did do my research on the web, so I had some idea what I wanted, so I kind of tested them. When I walked in I was surprised how friendly everyone was. Usually going into a specialty sports shop, they can be a bit snobby, but these guys were very welcoming. I mainly harassed Jeff, and told him that my paddle blade was a bit to small, and I could really not move the water with it, no power and what would he suggest? He took a few paddles down and explained the differences of the various paddles. How some flex more than others, and some weigh a few ounces more than others. I told him what I had, which is made for a gal who doesn't pack as much poundage as I do. Some how the weight issue came around, but I initiated that info, and he was relieved. So, brought my very 1st paddle in, and the second paddle is the one with the blade to small. We decided with my type of paddling, to go in the middle. Next was the height. He measured me and remeasured me and again remeasured me. I thought I was at the doctors office :0) I am glad there was not a scale. The 2 paddles I had, which I brought in also, came out to the height that I was measured, so he was a good measurerer. Used it today, and I was in heaven. Thanks all of you for the wonderful service, being professional, yet not stuffy. Will be in again for a new paddle for hubby. Sabine read more

I ordered 2 boards and received a phone call the next day from Jeff discussing some different options since one of the boards was on back order. Jeff's service was outstanding and he wanted to be sure I was 100% satisfied with my choice. Our boards arrived a few days later and we could not be happier. I was skeptical and a little uncertain about ordering paddleboards on line but Jeff made the entire experience a great one! Tell your friends-this is the place to get your boards! read more

Bought 2 paddleboards bamboo eco series for my wife and I. Service is awesome, easy to speak with someone on the phone, shipping is quick and the boards and paddles are great quality, strong and light. We may not be more happy to have buy from them. read more

Yeah, Great service, Mike answered ALL my questions and then some.. Employees all were nothing but helpful! Set me up with the board that I should be on based on my interests, weight, etc. Mike hooked me up with the accessories that I'd need to get out on the water right now. Just need some nice weather now & I'll be set! read more

I had a really bad experience here. I bought a coupon from LA Deals and called up Paddle Surf Warehouse to do a paddleboard rental with a friend. We asked on the phone not once.... but TWICE if there was anything we needed to bring with us before going. We were assured that all we had to do was show up. Well, we show up to the place, which is on 17th St., and they say, "you don't have a truck?" No, we don't have a truck. They have no way to get the paddleboards to the ocean because they are on 17th St. One would think it would be mentioned somewhere on the LA Deals website or by the customer service "dude" when we called that a truck was necessary for rental. He offered that we could come back another day when a truck might be available. We declined and asked for a refund of our money. He informed us that we could not get a refund because we had bought through the LA Deals website. So now we are out the money we spent to rent the paddleboards as well as half a day to drive down there and back. Avoid these guys and rent from somewhere else! read more

The low rating is not due to the service or the guys. The guys are good guys and treat you like family. My issue is with the last Vesl sup I bought from them I believe it's a 180 model. I bought it used. I know the guys at vesl checked it out and deemed it water worthy I checked it out and found no issues with the board so I bought it. Less than 3 months of surfing this board it developed a giant delam bubble in the deck board is unusable. No water in it just a big bubble. I've had no problems with the other 4 vesl boards I've owned for years . Just the 180 I take good care of my boards I still have my 1st caster log so it wasn't lack of care. Just poor product from China. If you're going to sup surf find a vesl board that has a stringer in it. No fun to pay a bunch of hard earned money on something that in 3 months turns into junk taking up room in the garage. Just so you know I'm not the only one that has had problems with this board. Vesl shop up in Santa Cruz changed their stock said last batch of 180 boards was really bad. read more

It was hard to assign a rating. The folks at Paddle Surf Warehouse are nice, and they are cooperative. So that part is 4 stars for sure. The problem I had was the product description, which was very misleading. I bought the VESL SUP after doing a lot of research. I had some very specific goals. From experience I knew I needed something close to 150 liters (I weigh 180lbs) and wanted the board to weigh in at 20 lbs. or less (I do a lot of schlepping up and down cliff trails and beach access stairways). The VESL 9'4" was supposed to be 148 liters and 20 lbs. Not quite 150L, but close enough. And the weight was perfect! In theory. In reality, the volume is 143 liters (as written on the stringer) not 148L and weighs just under 22 lbs (just the board, no fins or leash). So the board was described as having the flotation I was looking for, and a good volume/weight ratio - light weight for the size (due to light materials). Instead, I got a board with much less flotation and a mediocre volume/weight ratio (not very light for the size). (By comparison, a 10' Surftech with a volume of 153.7 liters weighs about the same.) So the board doesn't get a lot of glide or paddling speed. Since it's not a very fast paddler, it doesn't pick up waves very well. Of course with a smaller paddler it would be better. But I can't make myself smaller. So the product description, and the results, are bad enough to justify a two-star rating. I'm stuck with a board that doesn't deliver what it promised. read more

OK...PSW is an AMAZING place...great customer service, honest and helpful expertise, complete accessory inventory with great competitive prices, high quality boards at some really great prices and the customer service is one of THE BEST I've experienced..... My husband and I live close to PSW on the Balboa Peninsula right on the bay and behind the beach. We had rented some SUP boards about a month ago in The Fun Zone and we just looooooooved the experience. It gives you a very deceivingly full body workout...that seemed like more 'fun' than 'work'....you can get into all the little areas in the harbor to check out boats, sea lions, see the seagulls on the buoys, pelicans hanging out....etc....fun to explore and get a workout at the same time. Given where we live...we figured we might just want to take this up and utilize our surroundings! I started researching about the kinds of SUP boards and thought I'd found some I wanted to purchase after a few weeks. Then, later one week we had gone to Trader Joe's and saw a sign for a board sale at the Costa Mesa PSW across the street. I swear we've passed the PSW probably a ton of times and never checked it out. We went in to PSW and WOW...what an inventory they have...nice high quality molded boards, some high end, some price point with same amazing quality.. all kinds of things that would satisfy any type of customer. I had priced some accessories and PSW was about $20 less than another place nearby on some roof racks, more reasonably priced on the EZ Plug kits than the Internet and I'm sure more..... Not to mention the really nice guy who was at the store at the time who helped us with dumb questions like 'What is this on the board?' We found out it's a vent plug....duh....and other stupid questions he answered for us and not once, not ever, did he make us feel stupid. (Later we found out this was Michael Roberts...AWESOME guy!) Now, just because I did a little research doesn't mean I'm an expert by any means. Thank goodness for PSW. We had perused the store...me falling in love with a couple boards but thinking these other boards I had in mind were just what we needed. I kept thinking about these boards at PSW and comparing them to the 'others' I thought we were going to get....and then I decided to look at the PSW boards online again and did the live chat. They were offline at the time, but guess who emailed me, Michael Roberts. He had no idea we were the couple in the store the week before until we started chatting more. Michael was very attentive, replied to emails at hours one would not think a reply would come (even like after 9!) and he really explored what we thought we wanted, what we would use the boards for, what size we wanted and why, what weights we were looking at ie having dogs on the board, only us, etc (and very polite about it too :) ), flat water, surf, etc.....and then he suggested a waaaay better quality board than what I thought we were going to go with...and get this...the pricing was even better!!! So....better board for what we wanted to use it for, specifically for our height/weights, etc dogs or not lol, and better pricing??? And then.....I was even able to get one of the boards I fell in love with because of it's looks as well as quality :) Yay! Sure this is a long review...but it's totally the experience. I wanted a specific color in my board and the Dana Point store has it so it's coming in next week. My hubby's board has a few at the store (hope they don't sell out with the amazing sale!) I am SO excited we found a local guy to purchase from. We like supporting the local guys. When I read the other review to find out it's a family owned business....my hubby and I were even happier to be supporting the business. We can see that PSW is going to be a place that is our 'go to' for anything we need. Plus, being new to this sport....you don't feel like a dork asking questions:) We went in on this Sat the 12th to see Michael and firm everything up. Lots of folks know and come to him in that store.......and we love seeing that with our local guys :) I hope the guy who left the bum review reconsiders and takes the rental on a place on the water that PSW coordinated....it's worth the experience for SUP and definitely give PSW another chance. They've far outdone themselves for us already and we can't wait to add to this review once we complete our purchase and start using our boards!!!! :) THANK YOU PSW!!! :) read more

Thank you Jeff! We recently purchased two beautiful 10'6" V3SL boards from Paddle Surf Warehouse and we are so happy with them. Jeff, your service was top notch and you were extremely patient with us as we made our decisions on size, color, design, etc. We are so appreciative of the deal you gave us and we would highly recommend Paddle Surf Warehouse to all looking for a new board. Thank you so very much Jeff and Michael! You and your store are AWESOME and we LOVE the new boards. read more

Hubby and I have wanted paddleboards for years. Went to PSW and they answered all our questions. We narrowed down boards to 2 models. We were able to demo the boards at Back Bay in Newport before settling on the boards we wanted. Got a 2 board deal...2 Edge boards and 2 carbon fiber paddles. Great customer service. Will be back for next board purchase. read more

These guys are the best. I live in West L.A. and there are many paddle shops that are much closer to me but it was well worth the drive to get my new Bark board and Quickblade paddle. They are cool, know their stuff, and gave me a GREAT deal on everything that I bought. Adam and Michael were very helpful and it felt more like I was hanging out with friends than buying a board. I will be back! read more

After looking into boards and reviews of paddle boards and places to but VESL was the way to go, the only way to go! These boards are quality boards with a great price. The guys are so helpful and honest. They set us up and took a lot of time explaining why and what was best for us. Board #2! read more

I came in to buy a soft roof rack. I left with a new board and a paddle for an unbelievable price. I haven't had that kind of customer service since...I can't recall. Mike is awesome! Go there! Ask for Mike and you won't be disappointed. read more

Two weeks ago, getting ready for a trip to Lake Havasu for some paddling, I realized that I had procrastinated and forgot to buy some "necessities" for the trip, including a new paddle. Paddle Surf Warehouse in Dana Point called the guys in Costa Mesa on a Saturday, and gave them the list of a few things I needed. By Monday, they had everything I asked for. Better yet, they found me a rack for my boards I had been searching for, and locks for my boards, which I thought I was going to have to overnight from the manufacturer. They were awesome, and I highly recommend them. Fully stocked, full service SUP shop with more boards, accessories and other toys than any other shop I've been to. read more

We could not be more thrilled with the equipment selection and level of service we received. No matter your skill level or the amount of questions or time you need to make a decision, Jeff, Michael and the rest of the staff were outstanding to deal with. I wish more traditional surf shops were as enthusiastic about getting customers into the water on the right equipment for them. Just a very honest and down to earth shop that will be getting all our SUP and prone paddling business going forward. read more

Went in to check out the paddle boards. They had a large selection of boards to choose from. Mike was attentive, extremely helpful and knowledgeable. We had narrowed our choice down to 3 different boards and he pointed out the differences between the boards which helped us make the final choice. I am so happy and absolutely love my new paddle board. Mike set me up with a qb paddle and a great board bag. He even gave little tips about the paddle and the fins. Mike made buying a paddle board easy and I would highly recommend this shop to anyone in the market for a paddle board. read more
