When I picked up the board, the repairs were spot on and the color matching of the turquoise green color of my board was spot on. Got to meet the repair guy and he was super friendly and chill .

CHANCE, the board and wetsuit manager, walked me through seams, thickness, materials, and zippers, explaining how each one plays a role in keeping you warm. He also helped double-check the fit on the suits I tried. Super helpful. Knows his stuff. BUYING EXPERIENCE DANIEL, holding it down downstairs, was welcoming and easy to talk to. Told me to swing back any time I needed gear or had questions. Solid vibe. THE #1 SPOT FOR WETSUITS & SURF GEAR They've got a full floor dedicated to wetsuits--and not just any suits, but legit options. If you surf in California, like I do, you'll want a 3/2mm full suit. The Xcel suits they carry are top-tier--way better than the cheap Amazon ones. Sure, they're a little pricier, but they actually keep you warm and hold up. If you're looking for a wetsuit, new board, or surf gear, check out Inflight first. You'll be stoked you did.

They really do have a great selection of apparel and gear, and it's quite large on the inside. The staff was also friendly during my visit. There is a small free parking lot on site, but it can be a bit challenging to exit at times when it's especially busy and people are driving fast on the freeway, since there is not a stop sign. I picked up some great limited edition Halloween themed merchandise and love it. It's basically the shop logo but done in Halloween style. I especially appreciate how they use higher quality heavyweight tees and better materials and not the cheap stuff. I would definitely recommend if you would like a lot of great options during your search.

When I stopped in the lady (without greeting me at all) snapped at me in the shortest tone to leave my tea drink at the counter. Not thinking any thing of it I replied with "gladly" as I wanted my hands free to shop the racks anyway (I figured people must've spilt their drinks in the shop at some point so no biggy). Then as I'm leaving I see there's a cute cat sleeping on the clothes in a literal Hawaiian button down shirt so I stop to pet him, I kid you not I'm petting the sweet baby and the lady again barks at me that he's napping. Yes lady, I can see that, he was totally unbothered as I pet him. Did I miss the "no petting the chill shop cat while he's napping" sign on my way in? Then I grab my drink I walk to the door, my dad's sitting at the bench right outside the door and I tell him to come check out the cute cat in the Hawaiian shirt. The cat's sleeping five feet from the door on a display shelf and again I walk in with my dad and the lady barks at me so fast "drink on the counter" in the most vile tone!! I'm not one to write reviews often but this lady was just so rude I couldn't believe it. Cute cat, the young girly also working there was nice but dang that elderly lady was such a buzz kill for no reason.. hope she's al least nice to her employees.

Better weather than similarly sized Mill Street in Tempe. Compares well with little sister Seal Beach's Main Street since they both have annual car shows, marathon events, and Christmas parades. Bonus to Seal Beach for the pier and movie theatre, but Second Street has the edge in festivals and nightlife, though it's heavy on sports fans and beer bros. I walk down Second Street at least twice a week and frequent it most often for restaurants.

I've reviewed Schools First Federal Credit Union*, Billings Hardware*, and McCarty's Jewelry*. ---------- THE BEACH ---------- Unbelievably once the site of pre-war surfing competitions, the breakwater now keeps waves from hitting the beach, so bodysurfing and boogie-boarding are nonexistent. But, the recreation is pretty good. The bay allows for game courts, Long Beach Hydrobikes*, Kayaks on the Water*, Gondola Getaway* and the start of a bike path that runs through Belmont Shore, past Granada Beach where Alfredo's Beach Club plays films outside every summer, past volleyball courts, past Belmont Pier which hosts the Aqualink* and many festivals (Pirate Festival, Buccaneer Days, Great Sand Sculpture*, Long Beach Beerfest*,etc) and onto Shoreline Village near the Queen Mary. *ASTERISK designates businesses I have Yelped, if you have an hour or two to spare.
