I got two scoops, Rocky Road and pecan, both were delicious. They got really cool wooden Picnic tables too. On hot days especially, this place will be extremely popular. The owner is extremely cool. He mentioned that he's bringing back the Doheny Paddle Fest this summer too. He has a passion for thrifty ice cream, paddle boards, the community, Dana point, he's been in business for decades, I remember coming here as a teen. Additionally, The employees were all chill. At the moment, this is the only place that I know of that serves thrifty ice cream here in Orange County. So I was willing to pay a lot. - but didn't have to because all the prices were great. Not worthy, they did everything correctly, such as using the special thrifty brand scooper, wearing gloves, they had all the right cones. Multiple flavors too. It was all perfectly done. We Plan on coming back here Real soon with more family members and friends! (additionally I met some really nice people that were enjoying the thrifty ice cream because it's so retro, and the place is so inviting that it's a great place to make new friends.)

Easily one of the best and most famous surf shops in OC. The original location opened in 1954, and…read moreas I understand it, it is known to be one of the world's first retail surf shops. I myself am from Southern California, so I'm all about Southern California history and surf culture, so I knew I had to stop in and check the items. The store itself is pretty large and has all different sorts of gear and clothing. The staff was also very friendly. It's in a large shopping center, so there's a giant free parking lot attached right in front. For this visit, I found some clothing items that I wanted and spotted some more gear that I planned to come back for in the future. I would definitely recommend to anyone in the area, and it's especially awesome to see they have many different brands as well as Orange County merchandise that you can only get here as well.

The flagship store of my favorite classic surf brand is out of there most iconic gear in the middle of Winter. I think someone in purchasing or merchandising, or logistics or store management needs a good talking to! All was not lost, the girl manning the register was so friendly and helpful. She apologized and tried to interest me in something else. Then she suggested I check the warehouse in San Juan Capistrano. I did. I found exactly what I wanted at 40% off. I was so happy I added a lid and t-shirt! The store was very nicely laid out. It was clean and cozy on a mid winter night. We walked across the parking lot for a quick dinner at Hennessy's Pub. They had live music and yummy sliders.

Not just surf stuff, but I would say a mix of surf, casual, athleisure and gifts. Love their books (lots of coffee table display options), small gifts, and hat selection. Clothes are a mish mosh.

We also found a lot of fun books, mostly ocean themed. A few we already owned. Will be back!!

It has been a while since I have walked into a store front and be met with genuine care for the customers needs, no pressure to buy something or up sold, and just be friendly by conversing with one another. It is a place that I can see why so many enjoy going to because SoCal Surf Shop gives you a vibe of all is welcome regardless of your activity preference or skill level.

Erik Leines was reccomended by surfboard shaper Cordell Miller to repair a Hypto Krypto I bought…read morethat was damaged. I reached out to Erik and he said to bring the board by the shop. He found that it needed a fin box repair and a stripped screw replacement. He fixed the issues, and also did a re-repair of a small hole the board had, which had a sloppy repair, without me even asking. He made the repair totally smooth and good as new. So if you ever buy a beater board or just need a repair, bring it by this shop. And then yesterday I picked up a new board that Cordell made me, and he reccomended heading down to Stewart to buy some fins for it, so I did. Everyone was super nice in the shop. Very cool spot, too.

The Bird longboard, a Wild Bill mid length, and a Fartknocker SBD short board/groveler. Former Pro surfer Jeff Kramer went above and beyond figuring out the right boards for me at my age, level of physical fitness, and surfing skill ability. And, Eric the store owner, Jacob "Jack of all trades " were also extremely helpful. Jacob even helped me customize and install surfboard carrier racks on my e-Bike. Unbelievable!! 6.27.2025 The stoke continues!! I have now bought a total of 5 brand new boards from Stewart and love them so much! I've bought other popular trending brands of boards and they did not compare to Stewart. I sold them, ha ha, and bought these two new ones: The Bird 9'4 Longboard. Insane! Surfs and turns like a shortboard. So fun! Next step, learn to nose ride it. And not even officially released yet, the new Hydro Hull Fish. So sick! Feels so good under my feet, like a skateboard, fast, controlled, tight on rail. Thanks Eric for personally shaping it and the beautiful custom art. Super grateful to Stewart Surfboards for giving me the right equipment to take my surfing to the next level and most importantly have more fun!
