I went in because a friend recommended me to check it out! The store is pretty cool and awesome, with a huge range of boards from affordable to fancy! Clay/Rakka was super welcoming and friendly from the start, and because of him, I ended up buying a friggin’ board coz he was so awesome! He was so nice and unlike most sales people, he didn’t pressure or rush me. He taught me everything and I’m so happy with my new board now!Posted on Google![]()
