let's just be real, if your gonna come to splash, you can't find another gift shop. I went to…read moredinner the previous night at oib fishing company and got a T - shirt but I wanted something that said OIB. I went here having seeing it at the golf cart parade hidden. the outside was almost as worse as inside: very strange people hanging out on the balcony and it was not clean whatsoever. walking in was even worse. it smelled AWFUL in the store itself. the clothing is not great quilaty but I will say the sweatshirts and T shirts are some more reconaziable brands. I got a sweatshirt from the varsity brand which I've paid 40-50 dollars for. I paid 24 for this! the same brand -they didn't bother taking off the og tags but added a red sticker on top showing the price. the sweatshirts were so cute and the T shirts. everything else sucked. it looked like something from the 90s. I brought in a coupon that I had purposely put in the address that was on the coupon and was immediately shut down when I presented it to the cashier. she wasn't very friendly and only said my price and thank you. the 'bag' they gave my for my sweatshirt and a bracelet (which was only 6 dollars and looked just like a bracelet I saw at OIB fishing comp. for like 5 dollars cheaper) was a legit take out bag. I will say , the sweatshirts at OIB fishing company were 40-50 bucks. if you want a cute sweatshirt or if it's too cold splash is a good option. if you want a cute t shirt just go down to OIBFC. it may be more pricey , but , they have much better quality in other items!

I do not understand the hate. You're near the beach. This is a beach supply store. Was anyone…read moreexpecting some high end luxury boutique? What you get is a big selection of just about everything you might need for the beach, from attire to sunblock and towels, to gear. The staff were friendly. Parking is ample. The only thing I'd nitpick is that prices were a little high. For example, you can get some of the same sunblock at the nearby supermarket (I think it's a Publix) for a couple of bucks cheaper. So if I could speak to the owners, I'd tell them to have a little more sense about those kinds of prices or risk losing customers. Overall though, it's actually one of the better beach type stores I've been in.

Sorry it's just ridiculous how many of these stupid stores are out there! Yeah I've bought from them but it's still crazy the number of them. Ok so Tsunami is a good shop for name brands like Reef, Hurley, Volcom, Sanuk, Oakley, Billabong, etc. They have toys and beach gear for little ones. Boogie boards, SUPs, skateboards, and even Elvis towels! Did you hear me, Elvis people!! Also they have the hokey glass dolphin trinkets that seem to still be stocked on shelves even though its not 1976 anymore... Yeah... Epic

When I questioned why the signs were up, she said they were just starting putting them up on Sunday night. She just kept saying okay. Okay every time I question something. I asked her when she started putting the signs up and she said five and I said well I was here at 8:00 and they were all up. And she said no ma'am. Most ignorant arrogant woman I have ever ever met.

Sweetwater Surf Shop is an institution indispensable to the surfing culture of the Wrightsville…read moreBeach community, and no surf trip is complete without a stop in Sweetwater. The store is owned by Chuck Bourgeois and his family (You may have heard of his son, world class pro surfer Ben Bourgeois.) and has that wonderful family-owned, hometown feel that is so hard to find. Everyone who works at Sweetwater seems passionate about it, and most are more knowledgeable about the sport of surfing and its equipment than I could ever hope to be. They're great to talk to for advice about everything from wax and wetsuits to travel arrangements in Costa Rica. Tony Butler is Sweetwater's manager, and he contributes much of the content on wblivesurf.com, including daily photos and surf reports. Sweetwater also runs a surf report phone line (910-256-8184) to keep you up to date on changing surf conditions. Sweetwater carries a huge selection of the best brands of surf boards, skate boards, snow boards, wetsuits (in the winter), swimsuits, board shorts, flip flops, surf and skate DVDs, and all the other equipment, clothing and accessories you might need for surfing, skating or snowboarding. If you can't find something you want, just ask, and the staff will bend over backwards to help you locate it. They can probably custom order it if they don't have it available. Plus, they have great sales. Sweetwater Surf Shop is located a block from the beach in downtown Wrightsville, so you don't have to go very far out of your way between surf sessions to stop in, browse and say hello. This place definitely does not require shirt and shoes for service!
