Have become friends with the family owners who are beyond sweet. Best smoke shop in town I'm convinced. Awesome selection of glass and plastic pieces, discount stuff but also some very high end pretty much artistic pieces. Also, all glass is bought from glassblowers in TX or the US, I know for a fact. Music selection is awesome. They have a great metal selection in cd's and vinyls that you just won't find anywhere else on the northside. Along with all the other stuff. They buy used cd's and vinyls as well. I don't skate, but the selection is good. Lots of cool clothes and backpacks and all types of merchandise. Best part...the staff is stellar.

I took my 10 yr old son who is obsessed with skateboarding to this shop after we found it…read moreonline...Its a cool store with all the stuff you would expect, decks and complete boards accessories and what not. But the dude running the store "Justin" was as cool as they come. My son had brought his new deck in and we needed some grip tape trucks and wheels. Justin was totally informative with what he suggested and just a cool as can be personality wise. Within 30 minutes Justin had custom built my kids board, my son was stoked and so was I. I would recommend this shop to die hard skaters or newcomers as well. Why spend your money at a big box store with the BS they sell when you can get some top-of-the-line equipment at the local store with much better service and totally reasonable prices. As soon as we got home my kid was ripping it up...the complete board was solid and my son was smiling ear to ear and so were his friends. They were all digging it also. Give them a shot and you wont be disappointed! Cades is legit!

I do also have an affinity for one other Surf Shop on Galveston Island, but this store Surfhouse is not only the BEST Surf Shop in Houston, it is also one of the very best Skate Shops in all of Houston! What I like most about this place is the true loyalty to the classics and to old school set ups! Whether it be a Surfboard set up for fast man-made barrels (think BSR Surf Park in Waco)... or whether it be for a nice longboard set up for old dudes like me... whether it be a custom set up popsicle or custom set up cruiser, maybe a custom set up Old School Peralta, or any number of local brands like Houston, etc. This place has it all! Not to mention some of the coolest branding shirts and clothing available. If you're looking for Santa Cruz, Powell Peralta, Long decks, cruisers, pool decks or anything Surf & Skate related...

I have seen the strip mall literally evolve around surfhouse. Much respect to the owners and (developers?!?) for making sure this landmark and epic shop didn't get pushed out. Yesterday I called and a real person who knows what's what gave me the rundown on their longboard skateboard inventory. No way l was going to order online a China made knock off for this important purchase. Slid in to and found the perfect sled, USA made gravity longboard that I bought for my son as his Christmas gift. It is the same shape as his hand me down that is almost 25 years old that he cruises to class on every day. Love the Surfhouse. Here is to 50 more years!!!

Keep in mind- this decision occured at 5 pm and we were 25 miles away from Huston. My brother and I were dye hard skaters back in the days- 1990's and now my son who is 15 yrs does it. I must say- after being in traffic for a long time- it was worth every gallon and the constant stop and go traffic. Once we arrived- the shop was open and two employees were present. Immediately we were welcomed and we began talking "skate or die" lingo. The two fellas were cool as hell and informative with educating my son. The gear purchased : We ended up buying Thunder Bushings 97, Thunder Bushings 90, Southside Slabs Hardware, Bones Big Balls Reds Bearings, Spitfire Wheels F4 Conical and Stickers! This place was FREASH and Cool!

James will find all your tunes you need to order and more if they don't have it in store, and make excellent selections to you and he's always been on target with what music is superb and of fine quality. Like one day back in the day around 2004 or 2005 I walked in thinking to myself what kind of new tunes am I going to listen to? So James said, "Want to hear something really cool?" And i'm curious, "So what is that?" m James directs me to a rocker named Frank Zappa and his album I never heard of before "Apostrophe." Paid for the CD, sliced her open the plastic, and then popped the disc in my car and cruised off on a new sound journey. After that I was hooked on Apostrophe and Frank Zappa, so it was mind-blowing and quite illuminating in terms of the magnitude of the sound and find from James's suggestion. Zappa may not be everybody's thing, but there's a wide variety of tunes at Musictown, so James most likely will be able to find music which is "Your thing." Like that song, "It's your thing; do what you want to do!" Go to Musictown to obtain your tunes! S.A.W.

When we tried to play the CD's in our high-end Marantz SA-11S1 audio player, it would not recognize any of the disks. Usually, we can insert CD's that look like they've been drug down the street and scratched badly, and they still play, but it would not play any of these. Nor would the CD players in our cars would recognize them. We checked the internet. There is a known issue with this Box set. We attempted to return it, we didn't wish for cash back; store credit would have been fine. But we were refused. We have been customers with Music town for over 40 years, and never once have tried to return anything. Anytime we walked in we would often spend over $1000. We enjoyed shopping there. Unfortunately, this is NOT how you treat your VIP customers. Or ANY customer. Stand behind what you sell or GTFO of the business. James would have never refused to compensate with at least store credit. We are very disappointed with the new owners. We left the un-working box set there and left. We will not be back.
