I'm not sure I'll visit again because the selection just isn't compelling enough. The value proposition doesn't exist versus shopping online at Backcountry.com or Amazon or even in-person at Friedman's. I want these shops to succeed but they need to offer more versus the other options -- e.g., greater selection, greater value, compelling experience, etc.

It's enormous -- the kind of enormous where you half-expect to find a lost civilization in the camping section. And somehow they have everything. Outdoor gear, bike shop, rentals for basically any activity you've ever considered trying drunk at a party, lift ticket discounts... if it involves fresh air and mild suffering, they've got you covered. Now let's talk about the Basementeers membership, because it deserves its own paragraph. Twenty-five dollars. Once. For life. That's not a typo. For the price of a mediocre cocktail, you get 10% off forever, plus occasional 20% Friends & Family discounts. I've made worse financial decisions in the same afternoon. The staff is friendly, knowledgeable, and seemingly immune to the judgment you'd deserve for asking "what's the difference between hiking and walking." Basically: go. Join. Buy things. Touch grass -- they sell gear for that too.

He was extremely knowledgeable, displayed a high level of expertise with confidence, not arrogance. I really appreciated that. I came in with a problem and was immediately provided and explained options, quoted a more than fair rate and didn't feel haggled or hassled on cheesy up sale techniques. Because of his likability and competency, I took his advice and added a fresh wax. In closing, it's a rarity these days to get high quality service, from people that take pride in their job. Dominick is cut from a different cloth. Sports Basement Corporate, your Ski shop just earned a customer for life and you should promote or at least give a healthy raise to Dominick for the rock star service! Thanks Stephen Watson

We've been coming in for years, and the owner is consistently so welcoming and kind. My son, Nicholas, is stoked and lights up every time we stop by so he can talk skateboarding with him. He really takes the time to connect which is so cool. Even outside the shop spotting the owner out and about, he always makes a point to say hello. Anyways, Lost Surf Shack is such a "shop local" gem in Fort Bragg. We just walked out of there this afternoon with a set of knee pads and a happy kiddo, and I realized this review is long overdue!

It's a very small town with minimal stores, but you tend to be able to find most things you need. Whatever can't be found at the 2 grocery stores can probably be found here. It's a small family shop with pretty much anything you'd need for some outdoor activities. Of course Gualala prices are more expensive than most other cities, but it makes sense since it's a small coastal town. It's better to pack whatever you want to do, but this spot is always a good backup for the things you might have forgotten. They also have a lot of souvenirs which I'm sure make up a lot of the business. They've always had anything from hoodies or shirts, all the way to shot glasses and keychains. If you want a souvenir, or anything sport related, this is the spot you'd go. Service that I've experienced has been friendly and welcoming.

USS Watersports regularly plans trips both here in California as well as warm water locals. It was great to be able to get an additional week of diving in, with my instructor, in such an amazing location. If your looking for a dive excursion, check out the dive trips that USS Watersports organizes. Before you go, the store has some dive gear in stock but even though they don't keep a large stock on hand they can order anything you want at great prices. I can't recommend this shop enough. The experience working with them as been fabulous. I can hardly wait for the next trip I take with them to Catalina next year.
