One of the best all-around surf shops that I have been to. Very accommodating, and down to earth…read more They take their time to tell you everything you need to know about each board that you're looking for. I especially like the fact that they don't try to rush you or push anything onto you. They have a good selection of short boards, fish boards, fun shapes and long boards. They also have wet suits, apparel and even do rentals. You can also rent out a locker and walk right to the beach from the shop, which is only 2 short blocks away. The prices are very reasonable, and I'll definitely come back to get my next board. Make sure to come visit this place. Nigel and his crew will take care of you.

Going to a new surf spot can always be a little challenging. Surfers are often territorial. Nigel put me right at ease with his knowledge and suggestions. There was no upsell - he just made sure I had what I needed. I'm planning to keep heading out that way for the foreseeable future and this will be my go to spot going forward. After how well they treated me, I can't imagine going anywhere else.

Had an awesome healthy breakfast the other day at Locals Collective over by Rockaway Beach. I got…read morethe breakfast sammy for $12, which consisted of 2 eggs, avocado smash, sprout, tomato, monterey jack cheese and spicy aioli on whole grain toast. I love the surf vibe here. They even rent surf boards, $35 for 2 hours and $60 for 4 hours. How cool is that!? I'll definitely be coming here throughout the summer when hanging out with friends at the beach.

I got the watermelon juice and wrap. The juice was yummy and the wrap was okay but didn't blow me away. I will say that it did come out very quickly despite there being several orders in front of us! The space has plenty of room to sit both inside and out. The workers were also very friendly despite the rush. They also have a bathroom to use if you are a customer. Would recommend!

I brought my snowboard in to get it waxed and to get a raised bump shaved down. As soon as I…read morepresented it to the fella behind the counter, he told me that from the looks of it, I can save the money and easily tackle it myself. I'm not used to that kind of honesty these days! He even gave me a few pointers on what materials I should use and suggested a few youtube videos. I literally went next door to the hardware store, picked up what I needed for under $5, went home and did it myself. All it took was a razor blade, some super glue, an ice-cold beer and I was done! While there, I noticed some really cool hoodies, surf boards galore (even some nicely priced used ones in the back), and a ton of dope skateboard kicks. I haven't said the words "dope" or "kicks" in quite a long time (especially in the same sentence) but having stepped foot in this pretty hip skate/surf shop definitely brings it out of you. Hang tight! Or is it hang-loose? Either way, this is definitely a rad shop right by the beach!

We called multiple times but no one picked up and we had no option to leave a message. Also messaged and called via Instagram. We got in and they told us they didn't do any wetsuit rentals and did not have ANY women's wetsuits available to sell. Planned our whole weekend around surfing this morning and our whole day was wasted. On top of that, they couldn't even refund us right away because it was done online. Horrible management and horrible experience, do not recommend at all.

I ordered a dunno board for curbside pickup and picked out some mob grip tape when I swung by. ***I actually swung at a time by when they technically closed but I called ahead and the guy was super chill said no problem he didn't even rush me out he went out of his way to answer all my questions as a new skater and recommended me where to go to get the stuff I wanted since there was a national skate supply shortage at the time. Also gave me some clear grip squares for free since I only wanted a small bit for my board design which saved me like $8 tbh.

After having half the tail of my sweet cedar topped hess 6'0 destroyed by somebody's errant…read morelongboard and then searching NYC for someone who repairs eps boards I found David Murphy and Imaginary Surf Co. David is a shaper and he makes amazing, innovative surfboards in his studio in Bushwick. I met him there and my fears of trying a new repair shop (I live and surf in Oregon and am visiting NYC for work) were quickly put at ease. The boards he makes are super progressive and very well crafted, not to mention very eco-friendly. Our brief conversation about what the process of repair would require was exactly what I needed to hear. He projected two weeks for the work to be done. Two weeks later the board was repaired. Tess, an employee there did the work. She matched every nuance of the left side of the tail. The edges were identical to the original side. She basically rebuilt and matched a very complex and responsive tail in two weeks. She also found and fixed a small ding that I hadn't noticed. I learned later that Tess is a sculptor, no surprise to me now, her detailed work is solid and exact. The day I picked up the board was a Saturday and the surf was on. The board surfed like a champ and provided me with a full weekend of great waves. The board surfs the same as the day I bought it. Thank you David and Tess!!!

I really wanted to like this school but after thinking on everything that's happened, it's really…read morenot great. My first session, we did basic stance on sand then we were in the water with an instructor who was pushing me onto waves. He just kept talking with other instructors and wasn't really teaching me anything. When I asked questions on form or technique he'd give me short answers in an agro tone. During one of the wave rides I fell off the board and it hit me in the throat and I was under water for a little. No one noticed lol not one instructor. Maybe because they were too busy talking about the surf spots like to go to. Second time my session ended up being on a day of a storm and the waves were insanely big. They still got us out into the water - I was scared since it was my second timer ever. I think it was stupid for them to hold the session instead of offering to come back another time. I could barely get over the waves and was flipped over multiple times. When I come out to Rockaways I always see that instructor I had my first session with and he acts super agro still. Maybe he doesn't like women bc he seems to get on with the guys. Don't know what the deal is but I'd recommend doing a session with a private instructor in the area instead of this school.
