I live in Northern California but I'm in SoCal often and have been in the shop several times and bought two boards previously. I had to order a board and travel bag for a Hawaii trip and needed it in within a couple of days and the SurfRide Team came through for me. I was really impressed with Megan and James. They took it upon themselves to make sure I got what I was looking for and shipped it promptly and I received it right in the nick of time. Great shop!!! read more

This is hands down the best place to shop for a new surf board. From a beginning surfer to professional, they have everything you need. Travis was especially helpful! read more

I bought a wetsuit there and a little tiny piece broke off the strap. Instead of helping me find a replacement for the part, they exchange the wetsuit and I was allowed to get a upgrade and pay the difference. They are the best and went above and beyond. Love this shop! read more

Best surf shop in north county area on the coast highway and always have the best selection of boards and clothing and accessories have been coming to this location since I was 6yrs old and will always come back to this location! Keep up the good work surfride and the employees are very knowledgeable upstairs in the boardroom as well as the women downstairs in the main floor area! Stoked! read more

My work buddy swears by this surf shop. Friendly staff. Great service. Great prices. Next time I need gear, I'll definitely check it out.

Every now and then your inner surfer calls out and wants to look the part. This is the place to pick up all your styling surfer garb.

Xavier helped me pick out my entire surf setup as I had no idea what I was looking for. Very helpful! Their online inventory is larger than all others I found too. Will definitely shop with them again. read more

Very good selection of wave riding utensils and knowledgeable staff. Have patronized this location exclusively.

This store has a huge selection of surfboards that surfers can spend hours. The staff are very friendly, helpful and have tons of knowledge.

Nice shop! We were visiting from AZ and needed a few bits and pieces for the beach. Wandered in to a sale room and scored a nice hoodie and pullovers for a great price. My Brother in law rented a surfboard. All was smooth. Everyone helpful and friendly. Good location. read more

I've been going to Surfride for years. Kudos for management for hiring courteous polite young woman and gentleman who love there job. It's like going to IN-N-Out burger, everyone has that politeness to each and everyone who walks through there. Right on Surfride! read more

Tons of items, all sizes, they have about 9000 board shorts, prices are acceptable, make sure you check in first as they have a 10% coupon that i forgot to use. twice. they have a cool report program too!!! read more

This is my favorite surf shop. Friendly, knowledgeable staff. Very nice Solana Beach facility. I've purchased one Firewire board through them and about ready to order a ...Lost board. read more

Rude staff and definitely rude hipster kook that "overlooks" the board section. My 4 year-old daughter wanted to touch the boards, and I am standing right there with her proud that she thinks they are so "pretty". He comes over with his ego and skinny jeans and says "hey bro make sure she doesn't knock any of these over" and shooting dirty looks at her. Um, you mean the 25 pound plus longboards behind your protective rope?! Yeah, ok. If she was trying to pull one off the wall, I could understand, but touching while I am right there saying "daddy these are so pretty"? We are definitely not those parents who lets their kid run wild in any store. She is highly supervised, almost too much. I'll NEVER buy a board from you idiots and I will NEVER step foot in here to purchase a bar of wax, let alone anything of significance. But hey Surf Ride, sell those killer logs before they get knocked over. read more

Super rude staff. Disrespectful and treated my brother and I like we were dumb. Also, they told us the fins we were buying were only $40 but when we were rung up, they were $80. This wasn't the only thing they lied to us about. We won't be back there. read more

Horrible customer service staff not friendly. I stop by the Surf Ride Shop in Oceanside on Coast Hwy to purchase board shorts for my daughters boyfriend. Having never been in their shop before I was looking around trying to find the board shorts. The staff members were standing around talking did not offer to help me or ask me if there was anything that they could help with. They were not that busy. I figured being that it is the Christmas season they would like to make sale apparently not. I will never shop at a Surf Ride shop again. read more

This place is lame. Workers act like they are too cool to help you. Was in there for 30 mins and not once was offered help. Customer service sucks and really there are much better places to go. Just my $.02 read more

the Store put items on line without having product in stock.....they cancel your order but they keep your money for 6 days.......not a good way to do business. never buy again though this website read more

I always thought this place was more a surfing accessory store than a place to buy a board. The prices are a bit high, but you know you're getting legit stuff here. And I swear every cashier here is handpicked from a Miss Hawaiian Tropic swimsuit competition. read more

I bought two boards in one visit from this shop and they didn't even offer me a free leash or pad for either board. Ohhh wait they gave me 4 bars of wax. The guys selling the boards are not helpful at all. They had a large selection of boards yet bad service and not friendly. I will make sure I never buy a board form them ever again. They should at least of pretended to have been excited for us that we were buying some boards in their store. DON'T shop here. Spend your money at another shop instead. read more

We shop in here a lot but got particularly good service today buying a wetsuit. Ben was super friendly and knowledgeable about the different brands' wetsuit fits for twiggy teenaged boys. He made a confusing process easy--like having a personal shopper. My son is super happy with his new suit and ready to hit the beach! read more

Surf Ride is by far the best surf shop in Oceanside. They have a great selection of all things surf (& a skate shop too!): wetsuits, boards, bikinis, sunscreen, sunglasses, etc. The store is big & clean and the staff are really friendly and helpful - you can't ask for nicer people. I love shopping in the women's section. They carry all kinds of cute clothing & accessories. They also have great sales periodically & a sales room in the back that always has great stuff. Additionally, the owners of Surf Ride are so supportive of the local Oceanside community and the local surf industry. They are wonderful people and we always enjoy just stopping by the shop. read more

With all the retail options on the internet..you can't go wrong with Surf Ride..the shipping/processing is LIGHTNING fast and the prices, I can't even believe what I deal I just scored. A+++++One stop shop read more

Everyone goes ABOVE and BEYOND to help us while we are there! Girl Scouts promise.... it's the best place around!

Whether you are looking for surfboards or apparel/accessories, this place has a great selection and friendly staff. You'll most likely find what you're looking for here. read more

This place is the Woolworths of surf shops. Went in a week ago and got great customer service, they've got awesome deals and a great variety of everything from nice kicks, skirts, and wet suits. Will totally be back. read more

Great products. Great deals. Friendly service. Don't go in here to haggle for the already competitive prices and great products. Support small business! Perfect store for beach town area. read more

What a great place!!! All the clothes are so cute and diverse, but I have to say my favorite part was the staff! Everyone is so kind and helpful. Always willing to help you pick out an outfit, order whatever you need and go above and beyond! Brenna, the manager is just a doll!! She is so kind and loving to all the customers and you can tell she genuinely cares about how you feel, not just trying to sell. I really appreciate the atmosphere and the sense of relaxation and beach vibes the store puts out. read more

We recently held an event down in Oceanside and had the benefit of SurfRide offering our kids surf lessons. We had an AWESOME and ENJOYABLE experience with SurfRide surf Camp and would recommend them to anyone interested in lessons. They truly were an awesome group and were so patient with our kids. Thank You to SurfRide and your team. read more

the best surf shop in town i surf all over mexico hawaii and california in the only shop i get excited to go is surf ride oceanside see zach in all the great new boards if your in town you must stop in and check out all the great stuff in the amazing staff read more

I've been going to this store for thirteen years now and they never disappoint. This store has everything you need. They have in style clothing, shoes, flip flops, and an enormous supply of beach, body board, and surfing gear on the second floor ( this includes an endless supply of new and used surfboards). And the icing on the cake is the store's employees superb customer service. Every time I go there I am greeted by the staff and asked if I need help. Just yesterday when my wife and I were trying on wet suits, one of the employees who was clearly on a break on his way to the break area asked if we needed help. I did ask him a question and instead of directing me to someone else, providing an effortless answer, or scoffing at my question, he was very helpful. I personally think customer service is what makes or breaks a business and they've always been great. That's why I've been a devoted customer for so long. To sum this review up, if you're looking for a great surf shop to go to, this is the place! read more

I have received some of the best customer service here, than I have experienced anywhere else in the past 5+ yrs. These guys truly bend over backwards to help you find a good board and take care of you throughout the entire process pre/post sale. I had an issue with some fins that I purchased and these guys spoke on my behalf to the fin manufacturer and made the situation right....needless to say they put customers first and I am really impressed with the dudes that run the boardroom! Can't speak highly enough about this down to earth establishment and will definitely be giving them my business in the future. Thanks Surf Ride! read more

It's always worth the drive up from southern SD for the used board selection alone. The staff is also super friendly and knowledgeable while at the same time avoiding coming across like salesmen. My favorite surf shop in SD for sure read more

Just got my girlfriends board from here, the guy upstairs in the board area was very helpful and extremely knowledgable on the vast number of shapers and their models that they stock. I finally settled on the mosterbox and my girlfriend loves it. It preforms exactly like the store person suggested it would. I would recommend visiting them if you are looking for a rack board. read more
