    Good people, good vibes, and great gear. The staff is super helpful. The prices are good.

    You can't miss the place from the street.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Big shout out to Blane and Brian! My brother and I enjoyed such a fun time with you guys last week. It was my first time surfing and I had the best lesson. Can't wait to surf again with Surf Station- awesome experience!

    Blane was a great surf instructor, all the way from explaining correct form and helping us into the waves.

    A little confusing that this is listed both on Yelp and on Apple Maps as "Saint Augustine Beach…read morePier" because the sign at the location says "The St. John's County Ocean & Fishing Pier." It's $2 to walk out on the pier ("Sightseeing", per the sign) but it's worth it. It's a beautiful view! Today was incredibly windy - so bad that I had trouble holding my binoculars in place while looking for birds. But I was able to log 9 bird species while there, just watching them fly by and/or on the beach. There are benches for sitting, but they did have the end of the pier blocked off. See other reviewers for speculation on why. There's also a pretty popular Farmer's Market that sets up every Wednesday in the parking lot in front of the pier. It's popular enough that we witnessed traffic bottleneck there, so be mindful of that.

    If you love fishing, this is easily one of the best spots in St. Augustine! I visited this week…read morewhile on vacation, and since the weather was a bit cold the first few days, I decided to try fishing off the pier. I ended up loving it so much that I came back every single day. The staff in the shop are incredibly kind and welcoming--they really make the whole experience even more enjoyable and get you excited about fishing. One of the best parts is that you can rent fishing poles for the day, which is perfect if you're traveling and didn't bring your own gear. They also sell bait in the shop, so you don't have to worry if you run out.
