bought my first longboard in 2012. Since then it's been run over by a car, rode through the rain,…read moresometimes snow, down dirt hills. And continued to ride for almost 10 years. could've probably still lasted another 10 years if I didn't smash it into so many curbs learning to ride. The boards are great quality, the owners are very knowledgeable and very talented. They can get you exactly what you need to start to riding. They got my started over 10 years ago and continue to keep me on my board to this day. They truly are passionate and love these sports. And I need to acknowledge billy again for his talents. This town wouldn't be the same without this shop. Their longboard selection isn't what it use to be, show them some love!!

I rented paddle boards, they were very expensive at $60 per day but I had a great time with the…read morekids on them. The boards were so heavy for me to carry around, and I was knackered after hauling them around, then had to unload them by myself back into the shop (except for the one lightest board which the woman brought in). I don't know if this woman was the owner or not, but when I said "man these are so heavy, how you do this?" She replied "maybe you're just too out of shape...". :|

We especially like the "Save our Sound" Sea Wench soaps - fragrant and smooth with remarkable ingredients not found in other boutique soaps, sourced from Clayoquot Sound, BC. Stylish handbags, tooled or smooth leather, a style to suit everyone and every need. Beautiful jewellery, lots of great clothing upstairs. A wonderful curio shop, you will not be able to resist these wares. Lots of parking, located one block off Old Town main street.

This guy is selling video cards at scalper prices.

Tried to sell me an RTX 3070 for over $2000. I have the exact card coming in the mail for just over $700. Save yourself the money and find a less shady vendor.

The operator who claims to be the owner, Ozren Nemec, belongs in jail! He sold me an obsolete,…read morediscontinued security camera system that failed within the first month after taking $1400.00 from me before ordering the "top of line, world renowned" equipment. He gave a multitude of excuses along with tips for me to fix the junk and has not offered any form of a resolution or refund or even acknowledgement of the problem! My fault for trusting this clown. You can get better equipment from Staples or Best Buy for 1/3 the cost. I call it fraud & theft!

So who out there likes to move? No, I didn't think so. The stress of packing, changing contact…read moreinfo, cleaning etc. etc. Just to make it that much more interesting, there was a monsoon the day of the move. Not just rain that makes you consider moving to higher ground, but wind that was knocking out the power. Along comes two young gentlemen from Take A Load Off Moving. You sort of brace yourself for the worst but boy was I wrong. These two fellows got to work right away and had me out of the old place in an hour less than I had estimated. They worked their tails off. They were both polite, well spoken and professional. What? Movers? Yes! Through all this horrible weather they never complained or stopped. It was the same at our destination. I highly recommend Take A Load Off Moving and wouldn't hesitate to use them again. Thanks Guys!! JannieD

BEWARE is the best advice I can offer after two experiences with TALO…read more This is what I have learned to expect from them: They will be late. On the first move, they were 3 hours late because a driver had called in sick. That can happen, and I thought it forgivable. Two years later on the second move, they were 4 hours and 40 minutes late. Again "a driver called in sick". Apologies were offered on both occasions, but that did nothing to mitigate the exhaustion experience by this senior caused by a 9-hour moving day for a 550 square foot space. They will lose something. On the first move, vacuum cleaner attachments went missing. I didn't notice this until the next day so too late to report. On the second move, two woven baskets and a 3-foot silk plant went missing. This I noticed and reported within an hour of the team leaving but I received only repeated assurances of how important my concern was and how "Our top priority as your go-to home moving company is the protection and safety of your possessions". Nice words, no action. There will be damage to something. On the first move, it was minimal. The leg of a dresser was loosened and bent and the frame of a folding table was slightly bent. On the second move, there was damage to a leg on each of two recliners, a chip out of a wooden kitchen table, and slight damage to the finish of a TV stand. Again, I was far too tired to notice these things before the team left, so too bad for me. The team will be friendly and personable. Fairness demands that I report the good as well as the negative. Justin and Jason were both very pleasant to deal with and are good ambassadors for TALO. This is the first negative review I have ever posted in any circumstance but conscience dictates that I alert unsuspecting potential clients of the pitfalls that I met with on two separate encounters with Take A Load Off Moving Ltd.
