After several years of wearing his favorite hoodie, it was beginning to show wear and tear from his active lifestyle, so I went looking for an exact replacement. I took a photo of him in the old hoodie and showed it to the Sun Catcher staff. There are so many color choices, I could not decide which color was the perfect match. Four staff ladies came to the rescue, went in search of the perfect match, and brought me the hoodie I was looking for. Now that's great service!

My Aunt Mary is a dedicated sister for several decades so the IHM sisters have a special place in my heart. I stopped by to shop the merchandise at the store and there were so many things not stocked. No car magnets, no hats, and they didn't launch a beach towel with the new design. Since the sisters aren't sure if they'll be hosting the surfing event this could be the last shirt/last design. If you go- bring cash or check.

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.

WOULD GIVE 0 STARS IF IT WERE POSSIBLE. Here's the TL;DR -…read moreIf THEIR equipment breaks, YOU will receive CRIMINAL CHARGES and have to fight it yourself! This joke of a "business" rented us a golf cart for a week and we asked Tricia, the owner, which was the best. The maroon cart. So we took it on our way. When returning the cart after the week of use as directed, it completely died and shut down on a main road at an intersection. It did not give any warning and there was no ability to coast to a halt off to the side because there is no neutral. We couldn't move it out of the road. They didn't show us a neutral switch (if there was one). We called the business and they sent for a tow truck. The cart was finally towed after a long delay, all the while the police were there to redirect traffic on a Saturday morning beach weekend. Nothing was said or done at that time, the police didn't mention anything was amiss since it wasn't our vehicle. No licenses or insurances were taken at the scene. Fast forward to about a week later and THE POLICE called to tell us we had a CRIMINAL CHARGE for OBSTRUCTING A HIGHWAY. This sad excuse of a "business" gave our drivers' license info and probably was told what was happening. Instead of working with the police about THEIR vehicle breaking down, they gave a WEAK response! (attached is the actual email) When we contacted Tricia to have them work on this for us, they flat out REFUSED and Tricia said "Since the citation is in your name, there's nothing I can do about it except standby." All future email requests have been IGNORED. We were able to get the charge significantly reduced to a basic moving violation once it was explained to the judge, but there's still a $100 ticket and huge amount of time wasted. Still no response to cover our ticket or time spent to resolve this issue. DO NOT SUPPORT THIS JOKE OF A SHOP.
