So I have had less than great experiences with board repair. Often I get something back that is…read moreworse than what I could have done and believe me I'm no craftsman. Anyway a friend casually suggested I try Rider Shack to repair my board. The guy taking in my board couldn't have been nicer and then he uttered the famous surfboard shop repair claim, "It shouldn't take more than 2 weeks'. Sure I thought to myself. But guess what? Approximate 9 days later I got my board back (!) and it was so well repaired I tipped the guy a few dollars to give to the repair guy, Jose, since I was so impressed. The capper was this. When I brought the board in I had forgotten to take the fins that the guy took off before taking in board for repair. I had forgotten I had left them at shop and searched my car throughout and then thought I must have forgotten the fins at the shop. So I called and Jeff (the owner) quickly found them and gave them to me. He even gave me an extra fin screw just in case I had lost mine. These guys rule. You definitely just gained a repeat loyal customer! Thx again. So appreciated.

I noticed this spot when it popped up back in the day (prob round 2013/15 or something.. but neways…read moreit was back in the day). During that time, I wasn't curious enough to walk through the doors; I just chalked it up as another brand-new nice-ass spot to ignore as I walked by after hittin' at the beach all day (doing street shows, the best one on da beach alongside Uba-Uba, Mr Animation, & Calipso Tumblers, of course [Big ups to Harry Perry & Hercule's]. Anyways, I walked in a few days ago bc it was one of the only things I recognized. After donating all my decks and snapping the only one I kept in half, I wasn't trying to buy another one - so I'm very grateful I was able to, and did. Skated everyday since three days ago, and I feel the most genuine to myself I have in a while for doing so (exponentially affecting productivity). Thank you Nick!

I really enjoyed my visit to Arbor in Venice. There was a sale of shirts, sweatshirts and hoodies…read morefrom the former San Diego store with such a nice selection of designs and sizes. The store is remarkable and serves the Board community well. The thing about Arbor over other sporting goods type stores is that the products designed and materials used follow strict sourcing requirements to reduce the impact to earth. I got my first Arbor shirt at REI over 20 years ago and have been an avid follower of their products. I ended up buying several sweatshirts and hoodies which were embroidered or printed in very cool fashion. All the items I purchased were 50 percent off and are of great quality. The cashier and main employee was really nice, as we had nice conversations about our dogs and how she got into boarding. With such nice savings, I'll be back for value priced summer clothing in the next few months.

We did get a child seat for our toddler and it did its job! Been coming here whenever ever I come for a beach bike ride every few years and will continue doing so for the value and convenience.

Lot 10, which is public pay lot, was literally right next to the shop, so that was super convenient! Check in was super easy and every point of contact we had with staff was excellent. You can tell they know their business and they are happy to give pointers or help out with whatever you need. We're thinking about bringing our nephew next time we come back. and we will definitely be back. Great business!

Our group wanted to experience the Venice and Santa Monica Beachfronts by bike. We had originally…read morescoped out the area about two years ago, when we walked south from Venice Beach to the pier and back. This time, we were hoping to rent a 4-person Surrey Bike, but Jay's Rentals doesn't carry this type of bike. The person at Jay's kindly referred us to Ray's Rentals (off Washington Blvd and close to the pier) for a better chance at finding and renting a Surrey Bike. This was too far to check out since we had already paid for a whole day of parking close to where we were now, but it was a nice gesture to be pointed toward a place that might rent the type of bike we had in mind. After browsing the selection of 3-wheeled E-Trike Carts that could accommodate our party (2 adults; 2 kids), we decided to try out a larger one with a shade canopy. It was priced at $80/hour. The fit with the bench seats was a bit tight, but it was doable since the kids were both ages 10 and under and one of the adults was more on the petite side. For reference, the front bench (for the driver) is best for one adult, and the rear bench can probably fit two adults. Our positive interaction with the person at Jay's continued throughout the payment transaction, paperwork signing, and offer to take our photo on the E-Trike before we took off. Also, we were ready to go on our way about 10 minutes before the hour, but Jay's Rentals rounded up our time, so we received 1:10 in total. It was an all-around pleasant and smooth transaction. During our rental period, we were able to ride north to a spot just a bit past Santa Monica Pier (where the beachfront homes start again) and all the way back south past Jay's Rentals to the Venice Beach Pier before we returned. For the duration of our trip, the E-Trike's battery never dropped below the full reading of 3 bars and it performed well. Our E-Trike Adventure was a lot of fun and very memorable thanks in large part to Jay's Rentals.
