They have a good collection of skateboards, surfboards, and apparel. Pricing is quite competitive. A lot of times I go for nostalgia. Yes it's now in courthouse plaza, so it does still take time acclimating. Extremely polite and fun staff here. No snobbery at all, which can be an issue at other places. I'm relieved they landed here. At this point of life I'm less mobile, but my sons got gear from here. When he goes here I smile and think of "back in the day"

I admit I came in just to get my kids fitted for ski boots with the idea of buying on Craig's List…read more Well, I walked out with ski boots for my kids, so they got me! Lol! Not because of high pressure sales tactics but because they offer a good deal. While they don't sell used adult ski equipment other than at their annual swap in October, they have a junior program where they DO sell used equipment for kids at a reasonable price (eg, $50 for little kid ski boots) and let you trade them in within 12 months for half the price you paid (eg, $25 for $50 ski boots). With kids outgrowing their shoes so quickly, it's hard to say no to a deal like that! The salesperson I worked with was great too. He actually said he used to own his own ski shop before he started working here, and since they don't work off commission, he was honest and didn't pressure me too buy. I'll be back!

All of the employees I chatted with were experienced, helpful, and super nice. They understood my thoughts on wanting to get a good first setup that will last and guaranteed I can bring back any purchased gear to discuss any concerns I have. I ended up buying new boots, skis, and bindings and am LOVING them! Really appreciate all of the staff here for taking the time to make good recommendations. Will be back to buy more in the future, for sure!

Prices were very fair and the quality of his merchandise was top notch. Chris was so kind and patient helping me get the gear I needed. He never tried to oversell me on anything even though he easily could have done so. He walked me around and helped me get everything that my husband would need to stay warm and have an epic time snowboarding. His passion and thoughtfulness shone through. He was answering phone calls, handling other customers and juggling me with ease. Super fantastic. Will come back to Sterling or Fairfax for any future needs. I later found out that Chris turned out to be the owner so fingers crossed he never retires. Side note -he has a sick Grateful Dead collection! Highly recommend visiting here.

I grew up skiing in the North, lived in the Rockies; skied all over. Im now an aging, advanced skier. These guys are one of the best shops Ive ever been to.

You will not find a better shop in the Mid Atl. Best, Primo

Sedar the Team member working this day greeted us warm and friendly as soon as we walked in the store. Sedar gave us a friendly quick tour after we let her know we were looking for vinyl albums. The organization of the albums were very good as well as the grades listed on the each album. I slowly went through the selections and picked up about few. sedar did interact with us a few times and made the visit warm and welcoming. I actually bought a few more albums because I felt comfortable about the business style and layout. We bought 10 albums at about 200.00 and feel great about the quality. Of course I will find out upon playing them. I will come back for sure Special thanks to Sedar

Don't let the size of the shop fool you, they are fully stocked with outdoor apparel, gear, and just about anything you might need to stay comfortable while enjoying outdoor activities any season of the year. What a great new business for our local area. Will definitely be recommending to anyone looking for quality apparel, great customer service and just an outstanding experience.

It took a long time to even be greeted by the salesperson. When the gentlemen did help, there was a major difference in how I was serviced versus the previous client.
