I have seen their local adds for a surf camp and lessons and I can really see where a girls only classes would be popular. After all who want to take surfing lessons from their boyfriend or a goofy guy from in town. All they want to do is look at you not teach you. The store is nice with a fair amount of stuff. Suits, rash guards, and some other girlie girl stuff. The boards they offer were also on the girlie side. I did see one or two I would paddle out on. It is a cool shop and I'll stop in again cause after all I am teaching my wife the art of surfing.

I went into the store yesterday to look for a used foam board. The owner of the store sold me a…read moreboard that had some dings. As someone who is new to the sport I questioned whether the board was still rideable. The owner explained that it definitely was still rideable and just a little heavier than the other boards because it was an older board. She never mentioned anything about it being water logged. When I showed my boyfriend the board he could tell it was water logged right away. Figured we would try it anyways. Took it out to the ocean this morning and it sunk right away. When I took it out of the ocean it was so much heavier. Tried to bring it back to the store today and the owner was not having it. Extremely poor customer service. She lied about telling me it was water logged. I tried to support a local business but it ended up biting me in the butt.

He shared a lot of information on the surfboards that he designed and we went through my surfing experience, and I ended up purchasing a board and bag. I've only gotten a chance to surf it a couple of times, but so far it performs really well and I ended up selling my old surfboard in favor of this new one.

Surf into Summer Camp is a great program which is why it is North Florida's elite and longest running camp. The 3 to 1 student to instructor ratio provides students with important individual attention. The program is very effective IMO and emphasizes ocean awareness, surfing techniques, surf etiquette, and proper equipment and wave selection. The camp instructors are truly top notch and it's very cool to see kids catching their first wave and taking their surfing to the next level!

i paid for surf camp for my daughter. Unfortunately, she tested positive for COVID and couldn't…read moreattend. I immediately emailed the camp to notify them once we received the results. As of today, I have given them a MONTH to reply. I even followed up with two additional emails, a voicemail message and a Facebook message and nothing except a Facebook response saying the best form of communication is email. I am ok with no refund, but at the least there should have been a response with an offer of resolution (surf camp the following summer, money towards private lessons, etc.). Any reputable business has a Covid policy at this point. Very disappointing. Too many surf camps to choose from in this area to accept this sort of poor customer service. I'll wrap this up as my donation to their local business and give my repeat business and recommendation elsewhere.

Now I have known Jim Dunlop for many many years now. I own 9 of his boards from 6' to 9'10". His…read moreshapes and completely handmade and his knowledge of shapes and designs is extraordinary. Also his knowledge of the local surf is for real for he has surfed all over the world and here for 40ish years now. He knows what you need just after talking to you for a few minutes. His boards will perform flawlessly in this stuff we call surf. The boards that you buy from the Big Surf Shops here are built to catch the eye of the want to be surfer and are not made for the waves we have here. Jim has changed the shapes that I needed over the years due to my massive weight gains cause of lung troubles. Now that I'm a lean mean surfing machine again. I will be out there this summer. So I hope to see you out in the line up and also riding a Custom Handmade Mystic Surfboard. Later Bra
