Had a great experience. After buying a used epoxy board from someone on marketplace, I took it to Surf Station for a professional opinion. The board had several spots where the coating was flaking, that I was hoping it was cosmetic, but wasn't sure. I normally surf shaped ploy/glass boards. A staff member, Curren, was there and very helpful. He confirmed it looked like cosmetic issues only. He gave me advice to lookout for any water damage after surfing and blessed my path forward. He was a delightful and honest person. I'm stoked. Thank you Curren. read more

Saw a Google ad for a surfboard that specified free shipping. I bought it to see $675 in shipping in the checkout screen. I called and emailed them the ad they had running in Google and they basically said "oopsy". That certainly isn't how I run my business. Not a company I would do a big purchase with. read more

The moment we walked in I said to my husband (who was there to look at wet suits), "Wow, this looks like the surf shops on The North Shore in Oahu. (We were fortunate enough to live in Hawaii for 2 years about 6 years ago.) They had a good selection of surfboards, board shorts, and other water-sport gear. They even had gear for skateboarding and a good selection of beach/surf related clothing as well as coolers, sunglasses etc. The Surf Station reeks authentic beach shop. My issue was was with the personnel. Most of the staff were not wearing masks, and they did not require patrons to do so either. No one even asked us if we needed help or if we were looking for something particular. I understand leaving customers alone to browse, but we were not even acknowledged, and the shop was not even too busy as it was mid afternoon on a Wednesday. We looked through the wetsuits and we were unable to find what we were looking for, unfortunately. They only had O'Neil and their own Surf Station brand. Pros - Great authentic surf shop feel Lots of boards and accessories Nice selection of beach/sun related clothing and sunglasses Good selection of tumblers, coolers etc. Cons- Not COVID friendly (only a few employees wore masks) No acknowledgment by staff; no one even offered help and it wasn't super busy Only 2 brands of wetsuits during this visit We'll check it out again; perhaps there wetsuit stock was low. I think it would be a great place to find gifts for the water-sport lovers in your life. The fact that masks were not required and we were not even acknowledged accounted for the 3 star rating. read more

I've waited a few weeks to do this review, because I was very angry & didn't want to make an emotional review. On June 3, 2023, some friends & I (adult women) were heading to the beach when I realized I left my suit at the house. We stopped here & bought an incredibly overpriced bathing suit & 2 of my friends bought souvenir shirts. There were 3 young people working - a girl, older boy, & young boy. I was checked out by the girl & my friends were both checked out by the older boy. None of them gave us a bag for our purchased items when we checked out. No big deal, right? We're all trying to cut back on plastic. As we were getting in our car, the young boy & the girl came running out asking if we paid... I've never been accused of stealing in my entire life. I was immediately disgusted, but ok, people make mistakes. We showed our receipts & they went away. THEN as we were in line to pull out of the parking lot, the older boy came running out & flagged us down again. I backed up & again we were asked to show our receipts. At this point, I was pretty much fuming so I went back in & returned the bathing suit. I decided I'd rather go to the beach without a suit than give these people my money. Never ever will I go back & I certainly don't recommend it. Note to the owner: 1) You have unprofessional children running your store. You should hire some supervision. 2) This wasn't a busy store & these kids had JUST checked us out. How is it possible that they forgot they checked us out that quickly? 3) If you are concerned about people walking out of the store with items in their hand without bags, GIVE THEM BAGS! read more

There was a slight mix up- google maps couldn't find the 2nd location so my nephew & I were a little late for our lesson but we had a good time. The water was really rough for our first surf lesson but Blane is a really strong swimmer. Grabbing my board & take us out over & over. His stamina seemed endless. After our lesson we went back to the first location where someone (I didn't get their name but he said he was new but had been skateboarding for years) helped me pick out my first skate board! He was extremely knowledgeable & welcoming. read more

A small strip of surf shops right by the entrance of Anastasia State Park selling some of the trendiest surf gear in the area. The store located on the top called Linen & Waves has the most beautiful clothes priced moderately. The sale rack wasn't your usual neon and unattractive printed tees either. The best part of the store for me was actually their sale rack as they had wonderfully selected dresses and blouses with a top notch feel at 40% off the marked price. You can't beat that. I bought a beautiful blouse with a printed Birds of Paradise pattern on it that can easily double as a bathing suit cover up during the warmer months. The outdoor section has a few retailers selling different goods. The inventory here rocks and is definitely worth checking out. read more

I stopped by once again while en route form St Augustine down to Crescent Beach and Surf Station is as awesome as ever. Great selection of surfwear, tees, boardshorts, and decent selection of skateboards but the real deal is their expansive selection of Channel Islands surfboards--supposedly the largest on the east coast and I'd believe it. Andrew F's comment (see his review) on the staff being disinterested never has reflected my own experience and I've been here many, many times. The kids who work here are surfers, chill, and low-key. They won't come and follow you around and try to show you stuff, but if you need help tell one of them and they'll certainly be helpful. I needed a shirt brought down from its perch on a display far far up in the air (I'm 6'2" and couldn't reach it so . . .) and I told a girl working here and she very gladly got a pole to fetch it down with for me. No problem there. They still have their two cats roaming around the place and they sponsor events like surf film premires--the one they had last year for Innersection was an awesome event--and the love the local core surf community has for Surf Station is very obvious. I think they're doing things just fine. read more

The store has a wide array of bodyboards for beginners to advance riders. Swim fins and associated accessories are available too. There's a "chat" capability on the website, that allows customers to correspond with staff online, during regular business hours which was helpful.

Man, this place was neat! And perfect for what was needed. I was visiting Florida for a few days and wanted to get in the water really bad, so I could know what west coast waves are like and say I understand what East coast waves are like. I didn't pack any swimming trunks with me, and I didn't want to borrow any family members because most of those had nets on the inside, and those are uncomfortable for me now. So only Surf Shorts or Board shorts do me well now. Walking into this place, I didn't know what to expect, but they had PLENTY of board shorts for me to choose from, so I got some really cool ones to wear and was able to get in the water 15 min later. Thanks, Surf Station!!!!! read more

The kids had a great time and Blane coached all 5 of them to be able to get up on their boards and ride some waves. They all had a great time and honestly it was the highlight of a great trip to the area. Surf Station provided the boards and Blane was a great hands on instructor. read more

Updating this review. I got a message from Surf Station with an apology which I think was a nice gesture. Everyone can have a bad day and I would imagine this was a one off. Unfortunately I was affected directly. But I'm sure they offer a great experience for most customers. Tried to buy a surfboard online, bad experience. I found a board I liked at Surf Station online. It was a used board so I had a few questions. I called and they sent me in circles to call other numbers. Austin was nice. Pat I believe was the other guy I talked to seemed always in a rush. I didn't get my answers over the phone. I tried the chat feature in their site. Got some answers but not all. Tried emailing them several times. No answer. Finally after more than 10 days of chasing these guys Pat gets back to me. I send him the info to compete the purchase. Pat sends me an email: sorry but the board sold yesterday. 1 star for poor customer service. read more

I grew up in Hawaii and love to surf. I now live in Washington state and have to plan my warm water surfing adventures. This year, I am heading off to FIJI with friends for a epic surf adventure. I was in the market for a board that is in between a fun board and a short board. I wanted something loose, that could handle pretty hollow waves, but with paddle punch too. I combed the web obsessively for weeks researching what board would fit the bill. I visited more websites than I care to admit, sent a lot of e-mails (that were never returned) called a number of well known board manufactures and I just was not very satisfied. Then I came across the "Surf Station" website at surfstationstore.com. First thing that struck me is they have a huge selection of boards. Everything from Stewart to Chilli and tons more. As I clicked on boards, Austin from Surf Station fired up a live chat session with me and asked if he could help me. I explained my surf style, my upcoming trip, and what I was looking for. Austin validated what boards I should explore and was extremely helpful. We narrowed down the list of boards and I ended up purchasing a 7'4" Channel Island M13 which fits exactly what I was looking for. I rarely write reviews like this, but I was so impressed with Surf Station I felt compelled to spread the word. I will be back to order more surf gear from them for sure. They rock!

Young spirited and kind, but had ages of knowledge and guidance! I was able to conquer almost every wave and ride it to the inviting shores!

Brought my surfboard to the surf station for a small repair on the nose of the board. It took them a week to get back to me and let me know my board was done. What they failed to let me know was the fact that I brought my board to them with minimal damage paid them to fix it and then they gave me back my board more damaged than when I got it. 3 massive gashes on the rail and no refund nothing the best that they could do for me is to fix it again and hopefully not damage it more. Horrible surf shop 0 integrity. If you want your board to come back more damaged than when you gave it to them and have them tell you to bad, this is the place for you. read more

The SurfStation is a true surf shop - not tee shirt shop that sells surf boards. The owner and the staff are knowledgeable about every aspect of surfing and can help you find the "right" board for you, which is what a true surf shop should do. You will find whatever you need for your surf adventures here. Not to mention a great fish taco in the parking lot.....but you can't buy gas here any more like you could in the 70's !! I've purchased items from the shop and I've also ordered from The SurfStation online and was very impressed with how easily and quickly the order went !! Board selection is second to none in northern Florida, and maybe the entire state of Florida. From short boards to longboards, you'll find the right board at The SurfStation!! read more

They always coordinate SUP Socials, SUP Moonlight Paddles, SUP Yoga, and SUP Surf Lessons( they sometimes ask folks for a few bucks if they have their own equipment other wise their fees are the cheapest around). They have a large Kite Selection, SUP collection and they now even carry the Bote Paddle-boards that all the guys want so they can fish off of them in comfort. Those boards are awesome.. They allow people to try boards which most places don't, they go out of their way all the time to help teach beginners and make sure during our socials everyone has their legal items as SUP's are considered Vessels.. Great people and great prices... Go see their inventory or let them take you on one of their SUP outings. You wont be disappointed .

I appreciate all three of them going the extra mile for me. Will definitely be a repeat customer and absolutely recommend them to everyone.

BEST $60 we have spent in a long time!…read more We went to the Matanzas Inlet to enjoy some sun & fun in the water, not realizing there were water activity rentals. So we iinquired about the kayaks for rent. It was only $30 an hour, so we rented it for 2 hours, and had a blast. My wife, son and I took turns paddling around the inlet, which was a first for us. The last time I kayaked was in Hawaii, and I had to haul that kayak from the store, and then a couple miles to the beach. Hurricane Watersports is already on the water, so all we had to do was strap on a vest, unhook the kayak, and we were off paddling to our hearts content. Super super cool. They also had these HUGE trampolines, stand up paddle boards, and a bunch of other leisurely lounging floating devices for rent. They make it super easy to have an even better time on the water. Did I mention the AWESOME music they were playing? They had live music that played on their rooftop, further adding to the ambiance of good times by the sea shore. I don't know how often they do live music, but we felt very fortunate and enjoyed the reggae vibes. I also got a chance to chat with Jeffrey the owner, and he is just a good dude. It was truly a pleasure renting from him, and I anticipate many more rentals down the road. Thanks Jeffrey & Hurricane Watersports for a wonderful time. PS. They also have food available. Tacos, Hot Dogs, and Burgers. I was very tempted to indulge, but we already had plans for dinner. Next time for sure!

St. Augustine Beach is absolutely stunning! It is so much different from our beaches on the gulf…read morecoast. The sand has a better surface for running on (and I did run on the beach! It was glorious). The water was nice and cool. The beach was clean. It had some small shells, but not many. It was mostly free of seaweed and great for swimming. There are also more waves on the east coast of Florida than on the west coast. I expected them to be bigger than they were. However, once I was in the water I realized that they were mightier than they appeared. Some of those waves can knock you over! I may have swallowed a lot of salt on the day I was here. The waves were a lot of fun. We did get attacked by some bugs floating in the ocean as the sun set. I would recommend watching that from somewhere else. On this coast, the sunrise is more predominant anyhow. There is a pier on the beach that has some incredible views. It also is popular with fisherman. We came back and watched the sunrise on the pier the next day. It looks like there is normally a charge, but not if you are there early enough. It was no charge at 6am on the day we used it. The view was incredible. You can see the Lighthouse lit up from the pier too. We loved the beach in St. Augustine and we will definitely visit it the next time we are in town.

It's impossible not to be captivated by the sheer beauty of this unspoiled and scenic shoreline…read morethat invigorates the senses. The sight of the frothy, salty blue-green waves gently lapping at the shoreline is mesmerizing, creating a soothing soundtrack that relaxes your mind, body and soul. Seagulls swoop and dive, calling out to each other as they ride the azure air currents above. The salty sea breeze carries the smell of adventure and relaxation, mingling with the sweet scent of the flower grapes and coconut oil. Seashells of all shapes and sizes dot the white glistening sand, treasures waiting to be discovered by curious beachcombers...from delicate sand dollars to spiral conch shells, each one tells a story of the alluring Atlantic ocean. St. Augustine Beach truly provided a picturesque & idyllic escape. Sea you soon!

Just beachy.

We had a pleasant stay and recommended it to our family and friends. We signed up for another stay for Labor Day weekend 2025, and put down a cash deposit. Unfortunately, we had a very serious family emergency involving out adult son. We were unable to stay there as we had hoped. We called and canceled. We were told that we would lose our cash deposit, and would not be eligible for a credit for another stay. My husband is the kindest, most respectful person and asked again for a break on our cash deposit. They wouldn't budge, and offered nothing to encourage us to come back. We are very sad as we loved the place, but don't understand how people can be so inflexible. As parents, they of all people should know that one's children have to come first.
