My friend recommended this store for me to go to as I was in the area. This is a great store to cater to any surfing/ocean clothing needs. This store is the outlet edition of their other stores so when we walked in, we saw tons of signs on the racks saying there are sales. Many were worth looking into. I wanted to get a wetstuit for the first time and was guided by the friendly and chill staff on what the differences were between a 4/3 (4mm torso/3mm limbs, better mobility for cool water) and a 5/3 (more core warmth for colder water, slightly stiffer) wetsuit. The prices here are definitely on the pricier side ($200-500), but I was able to get a good 5/3 wetsuit deal for about 120$. I'm excited to try it out. Fittings rooms are reasonable size. I felt like a seal when I was able to fully try one on. Lots of great selections to look at!!! My girlfriend wanted to get a bikini on the sale, but lots of the tops and bottoms were missing each other counterparts. read more

Big fan of this store. I've known ripcurl for a while now as if you travel to beachy countries like Australia, you can see their stores. Ripcurl has super fashionable, super beachy, swimwear and clothing. Initially went into this store just to check it out. We needed rentals for PB, they gave me a surfboard and one of their wet suits for rental at honestly a really fair price. Wow the wet suit is incredibly the zipperless ripcurl wetsuit. I am a huge fan, because there is no zipper, it fits super snug on your body. The downside to it is getting it on and off can be hard, but the way it fits on the body, imagine putting really tight spandex suit on. But I felt so good in the water, it's really hard for water to sneak in, the wet suit is stretchy enough to have no limitations. Gosh if I ever buy a wet suit, no doubt I will get rip curl. The board short/swimming trunks by ripcurl are the best out there. Enough said. The staff here was so chill and friendly, they don't act like they are trying to sell you anything, you get the vibe they are there to help you in whatever you want. Until we meet again ripcurl. read more

Rip Curl Pacific Beach - Love this zipper less wet suit! Not too expensive for rental either - Sports Wear Near Me - San Diego, California

I have lived in Pacific Beach for 20 years (wow I am getting old!) I walk by places and say things like "that used to be..." and "I remember when..." I went to college for 8 years and I'm not a doctor - it was just too fun to be in college living in PB! Now, as a mom, PB is still my community... that said to back up my opinion of this surf shop. I KNOW local snob shops - they hire some "local boys" who have been living here 3 years with "local" attitude - yeah, laters punk! So, with that out of the way - RIP CURL is epic! RIPCURL definitely have rights to have snob attitude but are NOT snobby. Chase was super helpful at including my daughter in the purchase of a new leash for her Channel Island Surfboard my friend handed down to her! YAY! It's an epoxy board - indestructible! Nice!!! Grandpa hooked her up with a RipCurl wetsuit ... she is ready for the waves! Large leash selection - length, pro / not pro, upgraded straps and connect points and don't forget color! I noticed they also have surfboard rentals. Plus they sponsor Bethany Hamilton! Check out two surf movies: Soul Surfer and Beyond Sight! Hey Chase - see you at Jordan's Birthday party - yup - he was that friendly to my daughter that she invited him to her Baymax birthday party! read more

Great store love this place always find some cool good gear in here, always have changing inventory, staff is helpful and prices are legit.

Took my wetsuit to get fixed. When I picked it up they gave me one with wrong size . Went back to find out what went wrong , when I got there they were nice in the beginning , They went to a back room they have a little chat on how to get rid of me . A tattoo guy came back with a very rude attitude. Felt like I was talking to a gang member. Not professional at all . It was one of my favorite shops and I bought that wetsuit from there . Never again . I am wondering if they would do the same with a white client . read more

A great little surf-shop. The customer service here is exceptional and they are super affable. I needed a new wetsuit after a few years and the dude that helped me out was super cool and helped me out. The store has a ton of gear for men & women. And has a decent selection of fins and other accessories. Again, the employees here are super nice and will chat with you as you shop. I go here every year to buy a few new hats and summer clothing for this very reason. read more

By far my favorite surf shop ever! They have everything u could possibly need and want for your surfing/clothing desires! They always have great deals as well on clothing and surfing gear as well as boards! Staff there are always super knowledgeable and excited to help you keep that stoke alive! Never been disappointed with a purchase there. read more

I love this store. I stick by this Ripcurl because of the awesome selection and amazing staff. Jordan aka JoJo is truly a rare gem of sweetness and I have seen her take care of 5 girls and entertained them while their parents shopped. Above and beyond for amazing service. Tristin is rad, he has helped me twice with some great selections. This is my store. @ripcurl_pacificpeach read more

Lame company, crappy wetsuits... even worse flakey warranty not so much this location as the whole company... i will never buy another ripcurl product... thank you read more

Yes I still frequent PB and yes I still shop here. I really have always been a fan of this brand, ever since I went to this music festival in Torquay, Australia that just happen to coincide at the same time as the rip curl pro at Bells Beach. Imagine watching Sunny Garcia surf and dance to live music/DJs at night, so. much.fun. The people here are super nice, laid back, helpful and very friendly. They have a little bit of everything, boards, wetsuits rash guards, suits, shorts, clothing and I even think skate stuff but I cant remember. It isnt as big as their store in San Clemente but has enough stuff for you to find what you want...I also recall their wetsuit warranty being pretty good. they stand by their stuff. There is a small parking in the back that always seems full, there are spots marked for specific stores. if you know you are going to run in and out, I have parked in a subway spot and been fine. read more

Yannick the manager at this location is awesome. Really appreciate him taking ownership to resolve a product related issue. He represents the Rip Curl brand brilliantly and restored my confidence and loyalty to Rip Curl. read more

Huge selection of wet suits! Customer service is fantastic! Andrew was very helpful and helped me find the perfect wet suit. Thanks Andrew, see you in the water :) Update: The suit had issue with the tightening clip...so they gave me a BRAND NEW suit. Thanks Rip Curl for backing your products :) read more

For being right next to the beach, it was nice to not be sticker-shocked. Ripcurl has some cute clothes and comfy sandals, which is what I came in for. Good selection of swim shorts if you forgot to bring any on your trip to San Diego like me and my boyfriend did. Really cute bathing suits too but limited on sizes unfortunately. read more

Exceptional customer service from Ryan. Would highly recommend going here for your surf and surf apparel needs.

Awesome place for rentals or to buy surfboards, wetsuits, clothing, etc. Yannick and the Rip Curl staff will take care of you!

Love this place! Friendly, knowledgeable, efficient! And, oh yeah, phenomenal products.... top of the line!!

I went into rip curl not knowing anything about surfing. Myles and crew made it so easy for me to learn what equipment and gear I would need. He gave me all the pointers and helped me so much in my first voyage. I can't thank them enough for all their help. His coworkers were the best and his surf shop is the best I could ever recommend. If you are new to town or a native that finally wants to learn to surf, this is theeee spot!!! read more

I purchased a flash bomb wetsuit at the outlet trying to save a few bucks. This was a mistake when I took my suit in for a quick glue repair the outlet team was extremely rude and unprofessional. I will never visit that store/team again. I walked in the mission beach location and was taken care by Marina. She was great and professional. Don't go to the outlet to save a few bucks. Marina and the team at the full price location will take care of you. read more

I purchased a new 4/3 Flashbomb Heatseeker from this shop and the suit tore the first time I put it on to go surfing! I brought it back and they told me that I could not exchange or return the suit because I wore it already and that my only option was to get it repaired. I decided to go with the repair which sucks because it's a brand new suit. It's been 2 months and they still don't have the suit back! I bought a 4/3 Dawn Patrol in the meantime and the seams came undone on the right knee from just the first session! I went in to tell them and they told me I would probably have to get that one repaired too and it's my fault because I used the suit! What the heck!!! They were giving me the run around and I asked to get ahold of the manager. I called back and the manager was thankfully willing to do an exchange. The people in the store were just saying "sorry" and giving me the run around hoping I would go away. I don't know what is going on with the integrity of Rip Curl and the quality of their suits, but I won't be buying anymore Rip Curl products. I called the customer service number and they don't answer the phone. I emailed them and they don't reply. Look at the one star reviews and see that other people have been having the same issue. They keep saying that they are backed up and that there is only one person repairing the suits. Maybe they need to hire more than just one person to repair all of these faulty wetsuits! read more

Helpful and unpretentious. Decent advice. The best changing room that stays cool even on the hottest day (perfect for trying on a wetsuit).

Everything you might need for surf and beach. Staff is very helpful and friendly. They have great variety of swimwear, wetsuits, surfboards and other accessories. They also sell GoPro. read more

This is my absolute favorite surf shop in PB. The staff is always nice. Their clothes selection is always up to date. Best of all, when friends or family come to visit, I believe their rental rates are the best. Parking in PB is the worst. But when going to this store, they have parking in the back and plenty of it. I always buy my stuff from here now. read more

I came in and rented two boards and a wet suit with my friend. The employees were all very nice, helpful, and knowledgable. Great customer service! Even though I am a beginner, they treated me with respect and didn't talk down to me. And the equipement was great. read more

I've always loved a surf shop, even if it is more wetsuit and apparel focused. Sometimes the employees of a surf shop are just too cool to make an old guy feel welcome. I was really impressed with the young men here. I need a good tide watch to get my waves and get out in time to make work in time. These guys get it. They helped get the right tool and fixed my old watch for free so I could pass it on to my son who is stoked. read more

Super great people. Very helpful and informed on their products. Not pushy or Salesy. Perfect balance or professionalism and friendly. Great selection. read more

Open early, big selection and great customer service. Maybe a little pricey but what isn't at the beach? Unfortunately, this location did not pop up on Yelp when I searched "surf shops" but I - thankfully - stumbled across it when the other two, Yelp top-rated (and top of the list when searching) shops were closed a weekday morning even when the hours advertised indicated they should have been open. I needed a board shirt for my daughter before a late morning tour - it was Ripcurl to the rescue! read more

Great customer service. Bought two shirts and the guys were awesome. They also were very helpful and knowledgable with all products.

Picked up a Lost mini driver and the guy talking to me about it really did a great job. Took it to Baja Malibu the next day for some barrel riding and it was awesome. read more

Great store! Trust me, I've been to QUITE a few surf shops and this one tops my charts. There were so many cute clothes, and the staff was awesome. I could have all spent of my money, but regretfully I had to stop myself. I did get a wallet though, and it's held up through some pretty tough wear. Excellent quality AND trendy, Rip Curl is one of my favorites. Plus, the guy at the register hooked me up with some rad stickers... Highly recommend (: read more
