Had such a great experience here, the staff is helpful, knowledgeable, and good at remembering past customers, had come about a year and half previous and gotten the longboard and have been very happy with it and then yesterday went and picked up an entire new set up for skating and almost immediately fell in love with my new board. The staff was helpful in my decision making and made lots of good suggestions without feeling too pushy, board was put together for me and have been very happy with the outcome so far, will definitely be coming back for anytime I need anything skate related in the future!
I was looking to get back into skating after years of not do so. Dope thing about skating is all you need is a board, which lead me to this gem of a place. I was immediately greeted as soon as I stepped foot in the shop. From there I was assisted by Connor to help me with a build. This guy was hella cool. I told him my budget and he proceeded to show me different options, never once trying to push something on me, just offering suggestions. He made the experience great with his knowledge, chill vibes, and just being an awesome human! Very pleased with the setup we put together, and will definitely be back for future supplies.🤙
AMAZING selection of surf-skates and even more amazing staff!! The owner was so attentive to my needs and questions as a first time buyer of a surf skate. They really pulled out all the stops for me. He even had his son teach me how to ride the board outside! Such a wholesome moment. Thankful for this business!!
My experience at Surf and Skate was phenomenal! The friendly customer service from Tyler and Connor was unbeatable. From the moment I contacted them till the moment I left I felt so welcomed. They not only showed me how to skate, but offered help for any future questions I may have regarding my New Long board. Definitely recommend this place! Go check it out!
No supply chain issues at this locally owned store! This store is jammed packed with surf and skate products as well as apparel. Shop early for Christmas!
Even after reading all of the wonderful reviews, the service I received still exceeded all of my expectations. From the minute we walked through the door, the salesperson (I think it was Tyler) gave us his undivided attention. He was really kind to my 9-year old daughter and took the time to get to know her and her skating style before customizing her board. I liked that he directed the questions to her and did not rush her choices. He also educated her on different aspects of her board and considerations we needed to make for her continued growth (physical and skating skill). The salesperson stuck with my price limit- he did not push me to get anything unecessary. Though it was a busy Saturday morning, he stayed with us from start to finish. My daughter felt very special and absolutely loves her board. What a great place for families-we will definitely be returning for all of our future boards and gear!
This shop blew my expectations way away. Im 39 and ide buy decks here when i was a teen and its only gotten better. I got an AMAZING!! deal on a Bucky Powell Flight, it was not only way cheaper than any online site and even the sites charging $200 are sold out. I drove an hour to get there snd would have driven 4 hours. Thank you Surf and Skate and thank you Conner.
I have never felt so eagerly cared for with my million starter questions about surfskate boards. Im a total beginner and the guys here made me feel as if I was already going to be the best skater in the world. They gave me a million tips and insisted I call back to tell them how I was progressing. Go spend all of your money here!
Best shop on the beach! Super awesome family owned surf shop. Went in for some long boards and had a great experience with lots of help from Tyler. We got a great price on 2 boards and they even threw it some extra stickers and a discount! Very sweet people and great experience, this is our new spot!
Best skate shop Ive ever been to. Massive amount of inventory, knowledgable staff, fair prices. I was like a kid in a candy store. Overall awesome experience. Cannot recommend enough.
Have been here twice in the last 2 visits to Jacksonville. This store has beyond and above customer service. All workers are so kind, helpful, and informative. This is our favorite place to shop when we come down and highly suggest it to anyone making their way down to Jacksonville!
Really good service, love the fact that there so kind and help you out a lot when it’s your first time purchasing a skateboard. I really recommend to come and get the most killer skateboard. They don’t only sell skateboards they have a Variety of things you may want. I really recommend this place!!
Bought my first longboard here the other day. The staff were very helpful and knowledgeable. Very personable people. I’m trying to learn how to skate and they were giving me pointers and very useful information so I’m very great full for that. Great store!
Years ago I use to go into Surf and Skate and deal with Gary, I must say his sons are doing a great job! Went in to get my daughter a skateboard. Connor took the time to explain everything to my daughter and the two of them built a sweet deck! Thanks for the love! Great spot to get what you need!
Man lemme tell you,First all ignore all the previous negative reviews.Tyler and his brother are the absolute best when it comes to sales.I was never really a skate board kind of person but me and my friend were skate boarding and decided to check out the store. Tyler had immediately greeted me and showed me the collection of long boards. I was immediately sold on a long board and Tyler even went as far as letting me skate down the isles and giving tips. When I was finished buying the skate board my friend bought shoes and I saw a nice pair of flip flops but I decided to not get them.I changed my mind mid way through the day and went back and asked Tyler to save the flip flops till next week because I get paid next week. Tyler not only said he would but he would honor the sale till the following week! Talk about amazing customer service.To respond a previous review I read, there is a sign posted at the counter that says NO REFUNDS ON CASH OR CREDIT.If the owner is reading this! Yall are doing customer service right and there needs to be more Tylers and his brothers (whos name I forgot, so sorry) out there!
Man best place to get your board! Everyone there is nice and will inform you! They obviously know what they are doing and does great service! Funny story when I got my complete board I completely fell of skinning myself. The owner gave us 15 percent discount on a helmet and wrist guard!!!! Man be people to get your board. 100000/10
Best skate selection in jax beach! they have everything you could ask for :)
Extremely helpful and nice service, they were there to answer our questions every step of the way! Amazing selection of items ranging from clothes to jewelry to all things boards. Would definitely recommend again and again!!
I went to this place looking for new wheels and bearings and had lots of questions. I just bought my first longboard and have no idea what I’m doing. I’m not sure who helped me but he was super helpful, patient and answered all my questions. This is definitely where I’ll be going for all my longboard needs from now on!
This shop has everything! Staff is super cool and helpful and selection is huge. I could spend hours in here. Left with 3 decks and coming back for more
I visited Surf & Skate during the Christmas season of 2020. My son had been asking for a skateboard since he was 4yrs old. We decided this would be the year he would receive one. I had no idea what I was looking for and that’s when I met Conor at Surf & Skate. He set me up with the perfect board for him. Even our son’s skate coach told other parents that this was the board they needed to get their sons.Now 3 months later, my son wants me to skate with him. So of course I went back to the place I trust. Conor took the time to listen to what I was looking for by asking me several questions. As a newbie to the sport (I haven’t skated in decades) I had complete confidence that he was putting together the perfect board for my needs. He could have over sold me but he didn’t. He took the time to get know my needs and put together the perfect board. Thank you Conor for your knowledge and most of all thank you for your integrity and honesty. This place is the best!
Great shop with loads of great products. Super friendly and helpful staff (Thanks Tyler for all your help!) and great prices. Well definitely be back next time were in Jax!
What a great experience it was shopping at your store today. I couldn’t believe how much inventory you had in stock especially the old Skool skate decks that I like. I’m super stoked with all the new Powell decks that I scored today. If anybody is looking for a local skate shop that’s super knowledgeable, with ample inventory and restocks on the reg you can’t go wrong with Surf & Skate Surf Shop at Jacksonville Beach. The customer service was superb, the prices were good too. The entire experience was fantastic and I highly recommend shopping at this local surf & skate shop. Thanks again guys I’ll definitely be back for more goodies later.
I love this store for its customer service and friendly staff first then the great selection of skate surf and merch! Thanks again!
This place is awesome, I only just visited today. I only skated once when I was little and I kinda wanted to get back to it. So I was with my friend when we visited and I was just kinda window shopping and I didn’t really plan on buying anything. Though one of the workers there, Tyler, really sold me on this board and they even gave me a little bit of a discount, because I was new to skating. If you ever plan on skating or surfing, this is the place to go.
I’ve brought 3 of my little dudes in to buy skate set ups aside from my own shopping and they are just awesome! They take time to educate and allow you to customize. The kids felt like they were in the driver seat getting everything they wanted that was still “advisable”. They tossed me discounts and free stickers without me asking. A+ attitudes from all staff every time, it’s like they never have a bad day over there
This place is STOCKED! Tons of great options in clothing and skate. Tons of decks from classic brands, too which is cool to see. Always friendly and attentive staff and fair prices. Def worth a stop of in the Jax beach area!
Wonderful experience with this skate shop! Huge selection of well-made, top quality skateboards, unlike other shops in town. Very friendly and helpful sales folks who even taught my daughters how to properly ride and care for the boards! I really appreciated the variety of appropriate patterns for kids (i.e. no skateboards depicted mushrooms or pot!). And I loved that the shop is long-standing, locally owned and operated!! Highly recommend!!!
I just bought a surfboard here and some other stuff, and I just wanted to give this place a 5 star because the customer service given is out of this world. The people here are so nice, and if you ever need help with anything, anything at all, they are there to help. Thank you again for such a good experience.
Came in wanting to get into longboarding. Conner was fantastic giving several options for my level and potential growth. Worth every penny and great customer service. Sorry for not letting you finish your sub.
Family owned and care like they are your family. The two sons, Conner and Tyler, were nothing short of amazing when it came to helping me surprise my son with building his own trick board. It was not only a great surprise but a great experience. 🤙🏼
Super friendly people! Very knowledgeable and they let me try out boards! Will be returning for more good vibes and good products!
Connor and team hooked me and my family up with awesome boards for the week. Contributed to a ton of family fun and bonding. My kids got long boards and he customized my skateboard so that it took this old guy back to boarding in the 80s- Nice Powell Peralta that was just perfect. Great place, great atmosphere, highly recommended.
My husband and I went in today to get him his first longboard and we somehow ended up walking out with his first and a new one for me as well. What can I say, couldn’t help myself! The staff here is awesome! They’re incredibly knowledgeable and were able to help us find exactly the new boards we were looking for. They even threw in some free stickers which is always a welcome bonus. I love to support local and was super stoked to find their store here in Jax. We’ll definitely be back!
I recently started back skateboarding. Saw Tyler posting their stock in some skate groups. I decided to check it out. Their selection is huge for boards, trucks, wheels, t-shirts, etc. The pandemic has lots of places out of stock on everything but not this place. Tyler and Conner are awesome dudes and love to chat about skating. The prices are all reasonable and they will give you a heads up when you are after something in particular that they get in. Its about an hour drive for me to get there but its totally worth it. All the staff in general are very positive and upbeat. This might be annoying if you are a grump.
Very friendly and helpful staff! We went in to get my daughter’s first board. They showed her how to ride and helped her pick out a board that she loves. We will shop there again!
I went in and had a great time. Me and my friend got some decks and socks. The employees are friendly and knowledgeable.
#1 BEST Surf & Skateboard shop! 100s of different skateboards & the selection is incredible! . Family owned & operated since the 1980s. Highly experienced SECOND GEN skaters to help you find The Right Skateboard. Old School & Next GEN skateboards pre-built and put together by real skaters! - Santa Cruz, Carver, Arbor, Sector Nine, Landyachtz & MORE! - C7 and CX trucks & lots of wheels - Easy Rider/Rough Rider/Roadhouse/Nine Ball & more.

Always a great experience. Family-owned shop I have trusted for years. Have purchased skate decks, surfboards, stand up paddle skates, and more. They even let my 2 year old run around the shop unbridled. Good folks. Support local.
When I came into the shop everyone was super friendly. They were able to help us put our board together. The younger man that helped us made the experience great and we will make sure to come back before leaving town to finish our board.
The best selection of old school skateboards in the area. Family run with excellent customer service. You have to visit this shop if you haven’t done so!
Never kicked a day in my 30 years of life haha but having been wanting to for years.... On vacation here and decided it was time! Best choice of shop I could have purchased my first board! No judgement on me.Tyler was so laid back and informative on helping me choose and even have a quick lesson!🤙🏻Next vacation we’ll definitely be back!
SUPER friendly! SUPER helpful and SUPER cute stuff!

The staff is nice and helpful, they will help you with putting together and finding anything they can and have the history to along with it.I’m thankful for them and there hospitality
Very knowledgeable, very attentive without being pushy. I will be back more more goodies.
I bought the Landyachts tiger board yesterday. The guys were great in helping me pick a new board. I wasnt really looking for anything, but the atmosphere made me want to get back into an old hobby. Thanks.
Great shop, amazing employees that are very nice and helpful be sure to check them out when you visit!!
Very cool skate shop Tyler the owner was very helpful he offered to give my 6yr old son a skateboarding lesson while we were in the store shopping very cool!!! I bought some high quality swim truck highly recommend this store!
I went in yesterday with the intent on buying a new sector nine. Gary and Tyler were so helpful and informational in helping me find a new board, they were so kind and were able to help me find what worked perfect for me especially with their huge inventory of completes, I also came back today to get a T-tool and they were so kind to me and remembered me from yesterday, so glad that I found a local skate/surf shop that is truly amazing! Definitely coming back for anything else I need!
Just stopped by there today and got my 9 year old son a long board. Connor gave him a quick lesson in the store, everyone in the shop is so friendly and helpful. Totally recommend this shop, we will definitely be back.
Definitely a favorite for retro skate tees. Moderately priced, be that you’re gonna pay the same online after shipping and at least you know the quality of what you’re getting. They even have big boy sizes.
I really liked this skate shop they had the best selection of boards I have personally seen in the Jax area. Overall awesome place to shop!
Great customer service, knowledgeable and super helpful. I’ll definitely be back. Thanks for the board and shoes guys.
Came in earlier today to get some setup changes to my two skateboards. Tyler was happy to go above and beyond to help me do some extra work to the boards that didn’t include the items I had purchased. Outstanding service price and selection thanks guys.
Great place to get and build skateboards! The customer service is amazing and the staff/owner are super friendly and helpful!! Will definitely shop here again!!
The only place I go for my sons skateboards and gear. Professional, courteous, never shady or pushy. Love this place and love the people who run the stores!
Great shop!! i’m new to skating so connor helped me pick out a deck, grip, trucks, wheels, etc. that would work best for me, as well as pads and a helmet. he was super nice and even helped me get used to balancing and pushing off on the board. highly recommend this place regardless of experience level.
The owner & his son went above and beyond to help me. Even notified me when new stock came in. These people are the core of what a small business should be like. Their selection is incredible (including rare old school skate stuff) and I will continue to give them my support. Best surf shop in Jax Beach hands down!
I went there to find a good skateboard because I haven’t used to since for 6 years when I was Puerto Rico. When I went inside, Connor came to me to find the perfect board for me. Not only that he has excellent customer service, he taught me a couple of things about boards and found me a perfect board. I would give him 10 stars for his gratitude and highly recommend this shop and if you get Connor, he gets the job done. Thank you Connor
Amazing selection of boards, they literally got almost every kind of skateboard you can ask forLiterally! The best store in town! No joke!
I got a brand new Santa Cruz and they explained everything to me best surf shop in town! Also great deals. Ask for Tyler he is awesome !

Great surf shop with knowledgeable and friendly people working and good selection for board shorts, tees, shoes, boards etc!
Very friendly and helpful staff, got a board completely made very quickly. There are also a lot of good choices to look through, will be visiting again for sure!
Staff was so helpful and kind with helping us choose out a board. Some may say its expensive but the quality is worth it. Family owned bussiness with alot of selections we loved it. I definetely recommend, best place we have been to in a while.
Everyone at this skate shop is so nice! Immediately felt at home the minute I walk threw the door. Family owned local business that works hard to have anything you could ever want! I’m an OG skater that loves anything 80’s! I grew up with brands like Powell Peralta and Santa Monica airlines in the true golden age of skateboarding. Been looking for a couple items that sold out instantly online for a while now... thought I missed my chance to own a piece of skate history forever. Couldn’t believe what they had hanging up on the wall! A rerelease of the 1984 classic Natas Kaupas panther graphic T-Shirt! Sorry I grabbed the last medium in store and it’s hanging up on my wall along side the Ripper Graphic Board I grabbed on my last visit. Planning on popping in time to time to see what other treasures I can find to take me back to my childhood! Honest helpful hard working folks that make you feel welcome the minute you step foot in the door unlike those other shops that have half the love for real skateboarding and are twice the price! Customer for life! You can trust your friendly neighborhood skate shop again. A must stop surf skate skim board house in the heart of Jax Beach. Thanks guys you rock!!!!
Very helpful staff. Dude even set up my board with no problems or hassle. Very informative
The best and only place to go and get your beach clothes at. Family owned so go and support your local business. They have everything you need or want there!
These guys have the best customer service in JAX. They have the most merch of any surf shop at the beach. They are very knowledgeable and have the best skateboard inventory of any surf shop/ skate shop I have seen. You feel like your among friends when you walk in their shop. Great People!
Love getting my boards here.Tyler and the whole staff are super friendly.And they always take care of their customers. If I need something specific they are always helpful.
Tyler is amazing. always amazing customer service, i love this store!!!!!
Amazing skate shop, was stoked to see all the original Powell Peralta decks available. Great staff!
Helpful, encouraging, knowledgeable skate shop personnel. Made my son’s best birthday gift ever!
Best verity of boards I’ve ever seen and amazing customer surface
Great shop! Great staff! They have a TON of skateboards- in addition to all of the beachwear, surfboards ect. Very knowledgeable and helpful. They sell Powell peralta and have the most in stock I’ve seen. Check them out !
Great place and great staff. Anyone looking for a board they will get u going.
Our daughter wanted a skate board for Christmas. I know nothing about skate boards and decided to check this place out after going to a regular sporting shop got me no where. I’m so glad I did. They took the time to explain different boards to an uneducated skater. I expressed to them that I was afraid it will be a gift she tries out and then puts to the side because she doesn’t know how to use it properly. They said bring her in and we will give her tips and show her how to ride. That is just what they did. Wow! She was riding on it and making turns by the time we left. She loves it and has been out playing with her new favorite outdoor activity! Thank you all so much! We will be back for other items to support your business! Your time and effort was appreciated!
Awesome shop !! Super nice guys !! Very knowledgeable and willing to help in every way possible to make your experience great !! 🔥🔥🔥
Excellent service and products! I will be back!
Came to this location to get my girl a longboard. Never been there before but let me tell you, these guys carry some fantastic sticks. Went in and was greeted right away and the guy who helped us was very informative on their merchandise. He even went as far as going out of his way to show my girl some riding tips! I ended up buying an Arbor board for my girl and for myself as well. I will be making this location my goto for my longboard needs!!
Thanks alot for all your help on the mike mcgill skateboard!!!!!!! I like it alot it looks awesome and too nice to ride lol!!!!! The orange with the green wheels looks sweet!!! Ill definitely come back and see you next time Im in town. Im the other Gary from Minnesota..... Take care and thanks again!!!!
I just feel like i need to give this place a a 5 star review. I don’t usually do this, but i’m still so impressed with their customer service, professionalism, and kindness all at once. Connor and the other guy were extremely helpful and knowledgeable and i will for sure be coming back and recommending this place to all my friends!
This place has always great prices, huge bird selection and huge clothing selection and way more than you think
CAME IN,ASKED FOR A SPECIFIC SKATE DECK,GUY BEHIND SKATE COUNTER SAYS NOPE WE DONT HAVE THAT AND IMMEDIATELY WALKS OFF TO HANG OUT WITH HIS FRIENDS,LEFT IMMEDIATELY. WHY WOULD YOU DEAL WITH PEOPLE LIKE THAT?BTW=ITS EASY TO TELL THE WHOLESALE REJECT DECKS FROM THE REAL THING,STOP ROBBING PEOPLE.
Got my own board there and they never tried to screw me over
My experience at Surf and Skate was awesome! The friendly customer service from Tyler, Connor and their staffs. I got a few skateboard from them really love it.
I really love this place the boards are nice, the clothing are nice, and the people are just the greatest I come here everytime I’m at the beach I love it
Best skate shop in town. I needed a landyachtz dinghy with a dragon on it. Special request for my sons birthday. Everything was sold out online and at the other stores. I stopped by surf and skate and jackpot. They just got a shipment in or something cause they had 2 to choose from. A red one and a green one. I chose the red. I noticed they also had the andy anderson powell flight deck in stock so I got one of those for me.
Had a great experience here! Got exactly what I needed very quickly. The staff were all super nice and friendly, made me feel very welcome. Ill be coming back next time Im at the beach!
Places like this is what makes Jax beach so great. Was on vacation the guy hooked me up with a skimboard. Laid back yet attentive cool staff. You guys made my weekend, appreciate it.
