This store looks like it's got a good selection of surfboards, rashgards, etc... but I went in there 3x & everytime I got either no service or some guy sitting behind the counter was border line rude and totally not helpful, I literally felt bad about being there & asking him questions about his wetsuits! So I decided to go... More

I looked up good times surf shop on trip advisor. My daughter and I took private lessons for a few hours. The instruction was excellent and we had a great time. A special thanks to Dave and the boys for an excellent time. Will highly recommend to friends and family! More

This hole-in-the-wall shop is worth searching out. Dave, a transplanted Hoosier, is a great source of info - in English - for the best wave in the area. Equipment for rent is good, but he only has 1 SUP board. Transportation provided to the better surfing beaches and costs are at market. More
