    Super great experience. I'd return again and do a lesson with Ride Solana Beach. Did a two hour lesson with Joe and Eric for myself and my 7 year old son. Great beach to catch small waves and learn how to surf and paddle. Joe is amazing. Great communication, very simple and straightforward instruction with a big emphasis on safety and etiquette. And they crushed it with my 7 year old and Eric was super helpful with him catching waves. I easily caught more than 12 waves with their lessons. Very reasonably priced and Joe runs a legit local business that wants to help you get riding waves. Great experience and I'd definitely return back for lessons with Joe and Eric.

    Joe (the owner) is the best!!! We did a few rentals from him throughout our 2-week trip in Solana Beach (our favorite was the beginner surfboards and wetsuits - he even gave us some surfing pointers!). He has everything from bikes and boards to umbrellas, beach toys and sunscreen! And his shop's location also couldn't be better - right across the street from Fletcher Cove with easy ramp access to the beach and public bathrooms. Above all, he is a super friendly and welcoming person - we were staying right next door to his shop and genuinely enjoyed chatting with him and getting to know him while we were around. The only piece of constructive criticism we had was the quality of the e-bikes - the ones we rented were on the lower end (we looked them up and saw they were some of the least expensive ones Amazon offers), so that made it a bit challenging to take them on a long ride (they ended up dying on us on our way back from La Jolla). But otherwise, highly recommend Ride Solana Beach!

    Found this little beach rental place on yelp I would highly recommend. Little difficult to find, but we rented some beach chairs for the afternoon and then when we returned the beach chairs, we rented the golf cart and took in the really cute downtown, which was definitely worth checking out.

    The scooters we rented

    We had such a great time on these scooters! At first I was a little hesitant, thinking I was going to crash while attempting to drive as this was my first time on one of these things, but Joe was super sweet and reassuring. He gave us a tutorial in a large parking area until we felt comfortable taking off. Once we were ready, he suggested we take the main road...so we did. It was such a beautiful ride! We made a few stops in the area to enjoy some of the local establishments. We headed back when our time was up. Joe asked us how our ride was, and if we enjoyed the scooters. He was open to feedback and offered us a little more time to enjoy the sunset on the scooters, which we declined but it was really nice of him to offer. Overall we had a great time and will definitely be back! Thanks Joe and Brody (his very friendly dog).

    If you are in Solana beach you need to check out this place! Great service and prices. You can rent a board all day for $20. Walk a block and you are at the beach ready to go. Highly recommend

    First time at Rusty's Surf Shop in Del Mar and such a great experience…read more We were in the area for lunch and ice cream and decided to wander in because our girls have been really excited about boogie boarding... and to be honest, we know absolutely nothing about it. We also love supporting small businesses when we can, so this felt like the perfect stop. Right when we walked in, we noticed how clean, organized, and well-stocked the shop was. There's a ton to choose from, which could feel overwhelming, but the two women working behind the register immediately stepped in and made the whole experience easy and actually really fun. They took the time to understand what we were looking for -- something beginner-friendly that the girls could enjoy without it being too advanced. One of the boards the girls were drawn to was actually more high-performance, and instead of just selling it to us, they guided us to a better option. Honestly, they saved us money and probably saved us from a frustrating first experience. They walked us through how to properly size the boards, explained what to look for, and even set everything up at checkout -- attaching the leash and showing the girls how to use it. They also gave a few quick tips that made us feel way more confident heading to the beach. That kind of service is rare. We also picked up a rash guard for my husband (great quality, he loves it) and a cute little shell bracelet that was perfect for the beach vibe. Is it the absolute cheapest place you'll find a bodyboard? Probably not. But the quality, the guidance, and the customer service more than make up for it. You're not just buying a product here -- you're getting help from people who genuinely care that you have a great experience. We'll definitely be back next time we're in Del Mar.

    I've purchased two cans of Blackseal cement from Rusty Del Mar. The first was already opened and…read moreabout half empty. I figured stuff happens and a couple ounces of wetsuit cement isn't a big deal. I purchased another can on 9/11/24. 4:55 P.M. Cashier:Kris Associate: Aaron. This can was also opened and about 3/4 empty. SurfRide in Solana Beach doesn't have this issue. The cans are always sealed and 100% full. Do better guys.
