ET is well-known among surfers and is trustworthy. Prices are fair and competitive. It is super rare and unheard of to discount wetsuits/ have sales for wetsuits but they do here at ET! They have a huge selection of wetsuits and gear here. I always leave here happy and excited to surf.

AMBIANCE: It's in a random spot down the street of Willow (if you're coming from Long Beach). You might miss it so keep your eyes peeled. The street is a busy street but the sidewalk shouldn't be. The spot itself is a pretty clean skate shop flexing all their boards and gear. CUSTOMER SERVICE: Friendly peeps and community vibes. I like how every Sunday they're watching football. TL; DR OVERALL: 5 Stars. Excellent! Friendly people, good selections, and a good price. I appreciate this spot for keeping it real, friendly, and professional. Till next time! Tips: * Complimentary bearings change if you're nice.

So sucks to leave a bad review on a local business but here we go. Also to note this has nothing to…read moredo with inventory, prices or location, as I cannot base this review on that criteria. This is being based upon the communication, or lack thereof. So about 3 weeks back I receive an email from the shop about an sb release of the Nardwaur dunks. which I was going to try my best online and if not grab on the secondary market. Knowing I could get them local was a dope idea, so as soon as I got the email, I rang them up just asking the basics, "will there be a raffle, will there be a lineup, etc" the guy on the phone, while nice enough said he didn't know yet and check instagram for updates. I don't have an ig and asked if I called back the week of the release will there be any info? He said should be and I said ok I'll ring back then. Flash forward to the week of, I call on the Monday of that week during business hours, went to their answering message, left a detailed message and was waiting for a call back. Next day go on their website and use their chat/messaging feature that said they would message me back. Here we are today no message or call back. Just wanted to support local, but I can't if I don't know how to go about purchasing something that I know won't sit on the shelf's for long. I know they won't be out the money, but just sucks in general.

I bought a longboard off of Amazon earlier this year. I guess you could say that I am going through…read morea midlife crisis. After about a week of using it, I decided it was time to get a high quality longboard and searched for a shop near my area. I found out about Stoked rideshop and continued to browse their site for around 2 weeks until I decided to drop by. The shop was a little hard to find but I ended up finding it. It's a warehouse at the end of a nice business complex area. I was greeted by Chris and Dave. I explained that I am a noobie looking for an upgrade from my Amazon longboard that my son kept taking from me. They gave me a couple options and I ended up buying a Landyachtz switchblade 38inch. While I was there, I ended up buying some bushings and some 85mm Orangutan caguama wheels so I can fiddle around and setup my board at home. They did not pressure me into anything, actually they had recommended another longboard below my budget but I wanted to go for something known for quality even if It meant spending more. The premises and actual warehouse was super clean and laid back. There are so many things to look at and buy. I ended up going back here 2 more times to buy a Landyachtz dinghy and evo 40. I heard great things about their online ordering, shipping, and customer service. Guess what? Going there in person is way better and it you are local of willing to drive, I guarantee you will leave with a smile on your face :) I am stoked to come back here in the future and love the longboards I purchased from here. My nephews, kids, and even my wife love taking my boards out. Sometimes leaving me with nothing to use. I only wish they would open on Saturday, but I understand these guys need the weekend to spend with family and shred the gnar haha

When I went into the store and started to look around, a gentleman came out & said someone would be right with me. A few seconds later, Tehani (Assistant Manager) approached me and asked how she could help me. Well she did just that and more!! We did the scan and I was so shocked when she told me my shoe size! I've been wrong all 40 yrs of my life! My right foot is a half size bigger She also had me walk and noticed that my feet leaned inward. Based on the results of the scan & her observation, she recommended Hokas and Brooks. I initially came into the store for the Hoka Gaviota but she suggested the Arahis for me. Unfortunately, they didn't have the size in the color that I wanted so I'll order them online. however, she did also help me with some shoe inserts for my current pair of tennis shoes and some Oofa slides to wear in the house. I'm so used to wear slippers but these slides feel so great on my achy heel and arches. Honestly, my feet already feel a lot better from just from walking with the new inserts. The Oofas were a little more in cost than I saw online but it was so worth the experience and the knowledge I received from Tehani. I would definitely shop with them again. The store is very easy to find when you're driving down Hawthorne and there's PLENTY of parking. All of the staff were welcoming! 5 stars
