I'm not the image of a skateboarder (I'm middle aged, overweight and under flexible) but when I popped upstairs to look at some board parts, I was greeted with respect, good questions, and good nature. Ended up buying some Sanuks and browsing for a while (great selection of boards of all flavors, surf wear, and beach clothing). The whole staff was responsive and great. When it's time to finish outfitting the commemorative deck I received as an award, I'll be back.

When I called the store and spoke with the owner about for a SUP. They had the largest inventory of SUP within hour radius. When I told the owner I was coming from an hour away, he offered to meet me on the mainland and saved me over an hour of travel time. With all that said, Matt(owner) not only had highest quality board I was able to find but the price was better than anywhere else, even Amazon! Wish more small businesses like this still existed

My wife was looking for a particular soft surfboard. After calling around to various surf shops we…read morefound the one she wanted at Ocean Outfitters. Living in Upstate NY we wouldn't be able to get down there until the weekend. No problem, they held it for us until we drove down this past Saturday. When we got to the shop, it even had a slip of paper with her name on it so it wouldn't accidentally be sold. It was the last of that size and brand. And since it's now after Labor Day, I'm guessing they won't restock until next season. I don't know the guy's name behind the counter, but he did mention he's been surfing the Jersey shore over 50 years. He was amazing. He was the benchmark for awesome customer service. He set up her board with the fins and leash. Gave her a tip about securing the leash when putting the board away. He gave her all kinds of other advice and easily answered every question she threw at him. Now, to put this in perspective, we had been to a shop in Rhode Island and the guy behind the counter was trying to sell her a more advanced board that she didn't want. I told her not to get it. Get the one you want, develop your muscle memory, then get a hard board later down the road. And when I told this to the guy at Ocean Outfitters, he said "Yes! That's what we tell the people that come here for lessons." All in all a very cool experience. I would definitely be back. Will definitely check here first for any other surfing needs.
