    Gokhan the snowboard instructor was great! Highly recommend Virtual Snow for anyone interested in trying to pick up a new sport of skiing or snowboarding. They have lots of equipment to use. My daughter brought her own boots. She had fun and learned so new tips and approach to our upcoming snowboarding season Thank you Gokhan!

    I first went to the woodland hills location where they have virtual snow carpets, and then decided to makw the trek out here to SM to try them out because it accommodated my needs better. They have three carpets and i havw three kids, so it works out conveniently. Woodland has two carpets and the instructors are definitely not as engaged as the instructors at this SM location. I felt like the WH just kinda watched, and didn't really provide feedback. It was honestly a hit disappointing. Had one lesson there, and decided to use my other 5 lessons here in SM. This SM virtual snow location is far more superior. They are so engaged with each of my kids during the lessons, and just talk nonstop and give feedback. It's hard cause it's like feedback talking nonstop for the hour's lessons. All the instructors are sooo knowledgeable and skilled and are so very nice and patient. My kids first learned to ski on virtual snow three yrs ago, and just get touch up lessons for their weak areas. Thw translation of how they are on the virtual snow carpets to actual snow at the mountains is so great! Theyre 4,7,9 yr olds, and virtual snow definitely does the trick in teaching them! If there's any hesitation one would have about the carpet to actual snow translation, im telling u u wont be disappointed! After a few runs down the slope and fine tuning and getting accustomed to the snow texture, my kids were going down the hills just like how they did at virtual snow! Yes, of course, carpet and snow are not the "same" thing, but it's the skill and balancing on ur skis and snowboards that's important. You take that learned skill from virtual snow, and apply it to the snow, and it does the job JUST FINE :-). U wont regret it Definitely worth the lessons! It's a splurge, but private lessons my kids have had at big bear are like $500 for 3 hours for one kid..this place u can go any day of the week and it's not a 3+hour drive! Get lessons here! ALL of the instructors are so great and kind, and you wont regret it at all!

He had a snowboarding trip coming up on Friday so on the Sunday before his trip, he looked into different options to get his board serviced (including bringing it to either an REI or Backcountry.) However, he didn't want to make the drive and luckily found Stick Docs on Yelp. He reached out and they quickly picked up his board the following night, sending a text to let you know when they're near you to pick up (and to drop off.) When they arrived and took a look at his board, they were very honest and let him know that he probably didn't even need to get the most expensive package for the damages on his board. We really appreciated that they didn't try to upsell him! They brought his board back on Thursday and we couldn't even tell where the scratches used to be anymore. It was perfectly waxed, tuned, and ready to go! (Upon returning from his trip, he was so happy and said his board was extremely fast after the service. This team did a phenomenal job!) They're convenient, professional, reliable, and do a REALLY great job. Worth every penny! We highly recommend them and we'll definitely be using them again!

I got there and 2 people from Burton staff greeted me. I asked about my board to see if I needed to do anything with it and they lead me to Joe! Joe is definitely the person to talk to about snowboards. His wealth of knowledge definitely shows and with the no pressure sales looked into my board and we tried on some new boots since my previous ones just completely fell apart . Eventually after trying various boots and learning about the technology that has changed since then, came up with a plan that I needed to work on including breaking in my boots. This store is laid out well and organised. I even managed to pick up a pair of socks while I was there so I could ensure I had the right socks as well (Not too thick and not too thin ) My time was cut short as I had to go but I will be back to have Joe bring life back into my snowboard. Be sure to make time enough for this process and make sure Joe is there to sort your gear out !!

They are the best in breed when it comes to surfing stores and I can't say eight great things about them. Not only do they carry just about everything you could ever need for your surf experiences, but they donut was class and style. Their inventory is massive and if you can't find what you're looking for here, then you'll never find it anywhere else. You can always tell more about an establishment, doesn't even have to be a surfing shop but any place, hotel, restaurant, airline or where ever it may be by the people that work there. Could even be a Macys or Nordstroms, theatre's or wherever. What tell you the most about a place by the folk that work there. At his location every employee there had a great attitude and knowledge of all surf. Product knowledge that you hadn't even thought of or crossed your mind before. These guys and the teams there are all first rate and world class humans in top of that. I want to especially single out the manager I met today, Zackariah. You couldn't ask for a better guy to be minding the store and Jack's is darn lucky to have him. Zackariah is a high quality work class human and Jacks is darn lucky to have have him. I've never been so impressed by a fellow running a gorgeous store like this or anywhere else. No, I'm not his mother or father or have any relation to him. I'll just a 68 year old guy who was so impressed by Zackariah, what a great biblical name too, that I have to shout this out to all of you potential and probably many customers already established customers. I will never go anywhere else to get gear for my 35 year old son who loves and surfs down in Encinitas, or my 30 year old daughter who's local here to the Santa Monica Bay who does a little surfing too. Zackariah, your employers are so lucky to have a world class guy working for them. I hope your owners read this reach out to give you a call or show some way of telling you you're doing a great job, because you are and your team shows nothing but respect for your leadership. Thank you for making my shopping experience today a memorable one and I look forward to coming back and hopefully it will be on a day you're managing and are there. In the mean time, you're a rockstar and Jack's is so lucky to have you. I hope you hear from them To let you know and possibly even show you their appreciation of you. You deserve it!!! Rock on!!

I recently purchased a 2026 Toyota Tacoma TRD Sport & contacted Rack Attack to purchase & install a BakFlip tonneau cover. I was initially assisted by "Steve" at the Santa Monica location. When I called back the next day to move forward with a ~$2K & change purchase, I learned he was suddenly on medical leave -- with no transition or handoff. From there, the experience unraveled quickly. I was transferred to another manager who came to "help them out" from the Orange County location, who was helpful & knowledgeable. He upsold me (successfully) to a higher-end tonneau cover compatible with future rack bars & added fog lights. I made a $1,000 payment based on his assurance that he would confirm product availability & timing for installation before my upcoming trip. He never called back. The following day, I had to chase down updates myself & reached another employee, "Don," who seemed completely unaware of my prior conversations & told me Aaron was no longer available -- contradicting what I had just been told. Again, no follow-up came. By Thursday -- now, 2 days before my trip -- I contacted yet another staff member who confirmed: The tonneau cover had arrived The additional products had not & they could not accommodate installation within the timeframe I had been originally promised At that point, it became clear this was not a one-off miscommunication but a systemic issue. Most concerning, one employee candidly admitted: "I've been here a month, & everything has been a complete mess." That statement alone explains a lot. This experience reflects not only a failure to deliver on a sale, but a lack of internal structure, communication, & support for both customers & employees. No customer spending this level of money should have to manage their own order across multiple disconnected staff members. Rack Attack -- if you are positioning yourselves as a premium outfitter & a key partner for brands like BakFlip / RealTruck, this level of disorganization directly undermines that claim. At this point, I am simply looking for accountability, clear communication, & a resolution that matches the expectations set at the time of purchase. I would welcome a direct response from management regarding how this situation will be resolved -- & how similar customers can expect to be treated moving forward. Should this be resolved appropriately, I would be open to updating this review to reflect that outcome.
