Came to Seaside for the weekend looking to rent and surf, but the surf was sketchy. Taylor and her coworker were extremely helpful and reasonable in recommending the best time to rent during the short stay we had. We also all bought out some of the old rental wetsuits for only $99. Thanks guys!! read more

If you're looking for surf boards, wet suits, footwear, long robes or sweatshirts/t-shirts, they have it all! Very friendly & helpful wait staff. read more

Seaside Surf Shop - Display at Checkout - Sporting Goods Near Me - Seaside, Oregon

Affordable prices, great instructors, and endless supplies of equipment available for rent. Did a surf lesson with some friends and had Aaron and Charlotte as our instructors. THEY WERE PHENOMENAL! Friendly, funny, helpful, and good knowledge about surfing. We were able to keep the equipment until the end of the day which was a great bonus for us to continue surfing as we please. They are also extremely flexible and accommodating. I recommend surfing at seaside over other beaches. Cannon beach seems to be a popular one but between the waves and amazing staff I experienced here, I can definitely say seaside is wayyy better. read more

Only our third time surfing on the Oregon Coast! we rented a board and were given tons of info on the different surf breaks, very helpful and informative! When we brought back the board I purchased some gloves and boots--EXCELLENT customer service by a female associate ( I forgot her name but she wore a beanie!) gave me lots of options and information to make the best choice for me. This is a great surf shop and we appreciated all the great help! will most definitely return read more

First time visit to SSS and it EXCEEDED all expectations. Specifically the help from the witty, sometimes sarcastic, and playful Morgan made this experience 5/5. We were on a guys trip for the weekend (from Seattle) and she bantered with us like she was one of the gang. She could likely tell that we had stopped for a couple beers before stopping in and she played to that vibe extremely well. She helped us get our gear, pick out our boards, and even give us crap about our "experienced" surfer friend. We intentionally went to this shop as they did 24 hour rentals and due to the fact we came in late on Friday, Morgan just charged us 24 hours even though we could return Sunday afternoon. To top it all off, she even hooked us up with a Hamm's to continue our fun afternoon! This place is laid back, friendly, and just about everything I'd want in a surf shop. For sure rent your gear here and ask for Morgan read more

Seaside Surf Shop is a great surf shop and have so many hard to find items. We ordered from this shop several time since last year...and we live in Santa Cruz, Ca... The staff have been over-the-top friendly. We look forward to getting their hand written thank you notes with our order. We highly recommend this surf shop! Thank you Seaside Surf Shop and we look forward to doing much more business with you in the future!!! :) read more

(6/29/20) Took a chance first time ordering from this shop. Definitely will be ordering again. Received my item very fast, great service and a personalized note was awesome! read more

Seaside Surf Shop - Personalized note - Sporting Goods Near Me - Seaside, Oregon

See all

Been surfing West Coast for 25 years. From Jordan River to Playa Kandahar. Have hit any number of shops (50?)to buy needed gear, support local and pick up a tee. For the record: Worst Shop Ever. Walked in to buy. No eye contact, Surly as fruc, Jaded board vendor just sitting on his computer. Zero selection on shorts and tees. The "Mr Zogs" sweatshirt selection is bumping -- if you're nostalgic for 1983. Spastic selection of boards, with no apparent curation for local shapers or Norcoast conditions. Total apathy. Don't bother. read more

My leash broke and these guys not only fixed it, they showed me why it broke and then didn't want to charge me for the small part that it needed. read more

Dennis is super rad and helpful. I would definitely recommend stopping here if you need anything in seaside.

I can't comment on an in-store experience, but I will say that my online shopping transaction with SSS was a great one! I found this company while shopping on Google and chose them as the item I was looking for was priced lower than the competitors. On top of that, I was able to apply an additional 20% discount from a promo deal from their website - awesome! My item arrived quite prompt, two business days ahead of schedule to be exact. It was packaged well, and they even included a hand-written thank you note which I really thought added that memorable personal touch. I'll absolutely be purchasing more items from here in the future. Thanks, SSS! read more

Seaside Surf Shop - Personalized note that came with my online order, very cool! - Sporting Goods Near Me - Seaside, Oregon

My first surfing lessons were through Seaside Surf Shop with Taylor. He's definitely the best coach, I picked up surfing very quickly. He was extremely attentive and very honest about what you need to practice, do, and execute to be a great surfer. Very laid back and friendly. Highly recommend to ask for Taylor if you want to learn. The store was full of products and clothing, can't go wrong. read more

Awesome team of people here!! I've been to this place several times over the past years, and always enjoy dropping in for whatever reason. I was just there this weekend with a group of friends for some rentals, and everyone there was so great. Super chill and helpful, genuine and interested in what beach we were off to, and then we came back, wanted to hear all about it! You can tell when you are in there that everyone is a friend, they like what they do and they like life - and for me that makes for good vibes and business, and a place I will return to whenever I am in town! I always like what they've got in the line of clothes and retail too. Good picks! read more

Very helpful and friendly, had good quality equipment and good prices. I will come back every time! read more

Seaside Surf Shop - Great quality wetsuits for the whole family reunion! - Sporting Goods Near Me - Seaside, Oregon

Owner goes above and beyond to make things right!! Great gear and awesome employees! Hands down go here instead of any other surf shop in seaside or the Oregon coast for that matter. read more

Dropped in here on Black Friday to pick up some boogie boards and neoprene. The owner was super helpful and gave us a lot of personal attention, including finding some great deals on used gear. He was friendly and interested in our experience. I will definitely come back if I'm in the area and in need of surf supplies! read more

My first experience in Oregon surfing- but not my first surf shop! The service was impressive and very good. From front counter to the instruction by Max and Kevin all was good. Totally calm and attentive. Not stiff or elitist but cool and very helpful! Rental gear was good shape. I am now an addict and completely comfortable with my new surf shop :-) Thanks guys! JOB WELL DONE!!! read more

Over the years I've had interactions with various surf shops up & down all three US Coasts. A few are exceptional as far as customer care and svc compared to the rest. Dennis's Seaside Surf Shop rises to the top of even those. This shop is full of hard-working helpful spectacular personalities who genuinely care about helping people have the gear and understanding we need to not only be OK out on the water but also to be genuinely happy with our purchases. This one is definitely above the rest and worth waiting, if necessary, to do business with. read more

Highly recommended shop! Dennis and his team are awesome! Super friendly and helpful! Great selection of gear on top of neat local finds! Thank you for your amazing service! read more

Just received my order from these guys and I can't get over how amazing their online service is! Super quick shipping, loved the new gear I got! Besides getting a great deal on it and fast shipping, they left me a funny, cute drawing and a candy. Just have to appreciate the little things and seeing that made my day! Thank you for being awesome, can't wait to keep buying from you guys read more

Great service fast shipping , responded to my email very quickly . Definitely will being buying again from seaside .

This place is cool. Variety of t-shirts, board shorts, sweatshirts, etc. There are also surf boards and skate boards in the shop. Hanging on the wall behind the desk were a number of old skateboards. One was the same board I had back in the 1970's. We left with a couple unique t-shirts and a pair of board shorts. I also picked up a nice leather wallet from the counter. Happened to be needing a new one and there it was. Nice little store. read more

New surf shop opened up recently. Decent choice of boards and gear. Rentals too. Very heavy with the Japanese surf tour/crowd it seems.

If you are not a local, pretty sure you will get the same cold shoulder treatment we received. Business must be really good if the tourist money isn't welcome. Money to be spent...but not here. read more

Great place with great selection and very helpful staff. So far I haven't had the chance to personally visit the store, but my online order experience has been very good. Special thanks to Jarrett and the additional tee - thanks Jarrett!! read more

My wife and I have a place in Manzanita, and have wanted to take a surfing lesson for some time. We called around, and the Seaside Surf Shop just felt 'right'. Lauren was awesome helping get the lesson set-up, and Max our instructor was patient, helpful and...patient. Great people...look forward to visiting again and buying some gear! read more

This place rocks. I brought my family in to go surfing and wanted to rent some suits. I was a little scared because my whole family is on the large size. And by large I mean XXL. They were able to outfit all of us with suits and boards. I shralper the crap out of those waves that day, and I have this great surf shop to thank for it. The entire staff was ultra friendly and super helpful. We will be back!!!! read more

Great first time surfing experience! Staff is wonderful, helpful and engaging. They helped every step of the way, from the first text message about what to bring, to equipment selection, beach selection (it really matters, can't overstate this enough), water safety, and surfer lingo! We were both up on the board by the end of our first lesson. Just a great day on the water. read more

Dennis and the crew at Seaside Surf Shop are the best. Don't hesitate to order online or call them first if you have questions. Their shipping was fast and the customer service was great. read more

Best shop on oregon coast. Dennis is the best and he hooks up so many people! This is the spot where the locals go. Everyone is awesome and I will always support seaside surf!! I like to support people's businesses who have good hearts and dennis has the best heart. Management treats you like family here than any surf shop on coast read more

Some of the shops on the coast are more tourist destination than surf shop, but this is a proper surf shop. They have a good selection of gear, the people that work in there are quite knowledgeable and the owner, Dennis, is a pretty rad dude. They seem to care more about actual surfing than the image that so many people who work in surf shops try to portray. No arrogance here. It's a nice change from some of the people who surf in Oregon that seem to think surfing is their birth-right and "If you don't surf, don't start." They seem to want to genuinely promote the sport because they know it's good for everyone, not just the local knuckleheads. Thanks guys! read more

This is my favorite surf shop in the northwest. Every time I have come in the staff have been super friendly and chatty (in a good way!) and incredibly helpful. They seem genuinely interested in helping you out or answering any questions you might have. Last time I was there they let me demo a Schuler board and hooked me up with a new wet suit for a great price. I will always stop in here when I'm surfing the Oregon coast, and even if I don't need anything, I'll at least buy a couple of bars of wax. Definitely worth checking out. read more

Just had a family trip to Seaside. The surfing looked great, beginner's level waves. I had my kids with me though, so we rented boogie boards and wet suits. Decent pricing ($30 per a person for a boogie board and wet suit for ALL DAY). Our girls (11 and 7) LOVED riding the waves like sea otters on their boogie boards. We all just laughed and laughed side by side rolling over the waves. They did NOT want to go in for dinner! Oh, and their wet suit booties fit better than another wet suit rental we had in Seattle for SUP boards, so that was a bonus! Great staff. Seaside seems to be a great spot to check out for beginning surfing, or just boogie boarding as long as it's decent out. read more

Really glad I found this place. Friendly / helpful folks and April was a rad instructor for my first ever surf lesson. I am a type A personality and they were happy to answer all my (many) questions. I recommend you sign up for a morning lesson so you can hang onto your rental gear the rest of the day and have more fun in the ocean. Hope to be back soon! read more

Was recommended Seaside by a friend here in Vancouver. He said the staff and the prices were great. I was on a surf trip down to the Oregon coast last week and decided to look into prices for a wetsuit from Seaside. My friend was right, the staff are fantastic and the prices are too. I had emailed Dennis about a particular wetsuit before arriving and he had one delivered to the shop for me. When I tried it on, we realized it was too long for me. I wanted to leave the trip with a new suit and Dennis made it happen. He ordered a smaller sized suit and had it delivered for the day I left. On top of that, he gave me a free wetsuit rental (including gloves, hood, and boots) for the entire week. I will definitely be spreading the word about Seaside. read more

Seaside Surf Shop has a really fantastic staff. When I was interested in renting a Shuler surfboard, but needed one longer than the usual "demo" model, one of the guys actually pulled his own board out of his truck for me to use for the weekend. And when I returned it, they invited us to enjoy a burger hot off the grill at their Labor Day cookout. Super cool team, super helpful and friendly, highly recommend. read more

stopped to rent some wet suits. stepped in no greeting from 2 workers behind counter i said hi they said nothing looked around went to them made eye contact said bye and thanks for nothing! terrible service their loss!!!!!!! read more

I've always loved the idea of surfing on the Oregon Coast but have never been that comfortable in the ocean. I decided to finally pull the trigger and don't regret a second of it. Lauren, my instructor, was awesome. I have both horrible knees and back but she was able to accommodate my limitations and shared some styles that were catered to my overall flexibility. My lessons took place at Short Sands in the morning when it was low tide. We practiced pop-ups and getting a feel for the different currents and white water. I took almost an hour but I ended up getting up on my final try. I hung onto the board and wetsuit for the rest of the day, went back out on my own, and could instantly tell my lessons were paying off. I had my fair share of wipeouts but was able to get up on my own 5-6 times the rest of the day and enjoyed riding some 2 foot white water waves to shore. I plan on continuing to rent from Oregon Surf Adventures the remainder of the Summer and look forward to what comes next. I highly recommend Oregon Surf Adventures no matter what your skill level is. No doubt you will have a great experience. read more
