Stopped in to look at a new snowboard yesterday and ended up with a rad new setup. John in the skate/snow section was super helpful and so was everyone else. It reminded why I used to always get my gear from Surfside. While we were there my son grabbed a skate deck from the $40 bin. Ended up back at Surfside today to build his deck up and had awesome service again. 10/10 service 10/10 vibe 10/10 value Surfside is by far the best neighborhood shop around!

They immediately offered to help, checked in the back for additional board options, and took the time to educate us on how to progress to the next board as our skills improve. They also explained how to properly care for and carry the board, which was incredibly helpful as beginners. They quickly installed the fins and leash for us and even helped make sure the board would fit in our car before we left. We will definitely be back when it's time to upgrade to our next board, and we may even return for a skateboard as well. We highly recommend this shop and will absolutely be referring our friends and family.

I traded in a fish, that was in clean condition, I bought a year earlier and they didn't try to upsell me or anything. I figured they'd give me $300 for a board I bought for $1250, but they credited a full $1050 for the trade. Highly respect how these guys do business. Almond has my business for all of my boards moving forward. Best in the biz.

Let me start off by saying, I don't surf, but my husband was an avid surfer who surfed Cardiff,…read morespots in Mexico and big waves on Kauai, Hawaii. I've been looking for someone to re-glass his board that he got from Billy Hamilton. It was one of Billy Hamilton's personal longboards. It's extremely special to my husband, who was friends with Billy when we lived in Kauai,HI. That's how my husband was able to attain such a board. It has Billy's first label, Bear Boards on it. Priceless and a priceless friendship. So, what does this have to do with Almond Boards? It has to do with that surfer comradely spirit, that every surfer knows. It's about that wave, that once experienced, is told about and never forgotten. It's that wave that leads to the search for the next one. Did Almond Boards re-glass Billy's personal board? No, but they were kind enough to point to someone who had that expertise and remember the Bear. They also give tips for caring for your board on their website. Thank you, Almond Boards! You could have just shined me on, when I asked, but you didn't. You offered help you knew of, even a competitor. That's Aloha! .

I wish I can give 0 star here. Especially for the male employee wearing a hat and mustache. I am…read morevery disappointed with my experience at this Rip Curl store. When I purchased my child's wetsuit a year ago, an female employee told me I could bring it back with the receipt when buying a new one and receive a $20 store credit, with no time limit. When I purchased another wetsuit in 2026, a second employee confirmed the same thing. Today, I brought the old wetsuit and receipt to the store, but the male employee wearing a hat and mustache was impatient and dismissive. He repeatedly talked about the 30-day return and exchange policy, even though I clearly explained that I was asking about a trade-in, not a return. What made this experience even worse was the male employee's attitude. His impatient facial expressions and dismissive tone made me feel as though he believed I was trying to scam the store, even though I had the original receipt and was simply asking the store to honor what its own employees had told me. Customer service requires basic patience, courtesy, and respect. Employees should listen to customers before repeatedly giving irrelevant information and making them feel unwelcome. I will not return to this location. There are many other wetsuit brands and retailers offering products at similar prices. There is no reason for me to continue spending money at a store where employees make promises they will not honor and customers are treated with such disrespect.

Russell is not only one of the last true surf shops in Newport Beach, but it should be considered a…read morehistoric surfing landmark. Surfing has shaped a culture around the world, and there is a strong case that Newport is the epicenter and genesis of that culture. (The Echo Beach) And Russell Surfboards is one of the pillars (along with the Froghouse) in surfing culture. I just can't recommend supporting this shop enough. When you go inside, you instantly realize this is a surf shop. They survived all this time by selling surfboards, not clothing like Jacks. When clothing brands like Billabong, Quiksilver, etc started renting out "surf shops," it ruined the authentic soulfulness of a surf shop. JP did such a great job caring the torch and Russell would be proud to see the way he kept the spirit of the shop alive. If you like the idea of supporting a small roots company, buy a surfboard from Russell.
