Longboard House

This place is part surf shop part clothing store and is split into two — one side is all women’s clothing and accessories while the other side is all men’s clothing, surf boards, and accessories.
What I appreciated were the high quality brands available and a good assortment of fall clothing but what I didn’t appreciate were the prices or the service. I felt like the gal behind the counter had a bit of attitude. Upon entering, she asked me to place my iced coffee on the counter (which is completely understandable, and I accept that request from any shop owner or employee), but the manner in which she asked felt really threatening and condescending as if she was speaking to a child. So, right off the bat, I didn’t feel welcome. It’s not what she said; it’s how she said it.
As I started to browse the clothing, I felt like I was being followed. With each turn around a display of clothing, she was there. At one point, I politely said, «I’d like to look at those purses right there on the other side of you» as she practically blocked my way. The store itself is quite sizable, so it was really peculiar that she needed to be so close to me. Did she think I looked shady? Was there something about me or my husband that concerned her? We’ll never know, but it was strange.
Ultimately, I ended up purchasing a cute top and long cardigan sweater that I would never have purchased (back at home) if I wasn’t on a short holiday. When I travel, I tend to give myself a bit of a higher clothing budget, which is necessary if you plan to purchase anything here.
Would I visit them again? Yeah, probably… but I wouldn’t dare risk receiving a demeaning tone from the young lady behind the counter, and wouldn’t step anywhere near with a beverage in hand in the future!

One of the nicest, most down to earth non-​aggro shops you’ll ever go into. If you don’t find what you’re looking for at this shop, then you probably don’t ride a long board!

Nice location, great inventory. They are fundamentally dishonest. Samantha D. and Erik H. called it right. I had a board «repaired» there and was shocked at the outcome. Dings not repaired, some dings were just filled with wax. One ding out of four written up was properly repaired. The employee that wrote up the order told me it would be a couple of days for the repairs. I didn’t get the board for a week, but was told it would be ready tomorrow every time I called. When I did get the board, they didn’t go over the board with me. I never saw the order sheet again. I was in a hurry and just grabbed the board and left. When I got home and looked the board over I knew I had been taken. I don’t even trust them to make it right. I’ll repair the remaining dings myself.
While waiting for my board, I looked around the shop some and noticed some obviously used boards priced as new. That should have been a red flag, but I thought maybe they were consignments. Now I think not.
In the end, they lost a potential long term customer. I’ll be buying a new board in the spring, but it won’t be from the Long Board House. My step daughter will be buying a new board, but not at the LBH. My wife loved the gift shop, but she’ll not go back. They got a quick buck, and that’s all they care about. So long, LBH.

Great people make for a Great business. The LBH has great people. With Bill and Seth in the board room you can be assured that you will find exactly what you are looking for. Terrific selection of boards, and of course clothes.

They have a great selection on everything! Their selection is not only big, but also great. They have the cutest clothes as well as sickest boards. One of the guys working near the boards is super nice and took the time to order my boyfriend a bike rack he needed and bring it to the store for him.
I would have given 5 stars except for as a woman, when I shop it’s always alone while my boyfriend looks at surf boards. So I find it really annoying when an employee is constantly down my back asking if I need assistance. People will ask for you if assistance is needed. I know it’s an attempt at good customer service, but it’s too much and made me not want to shop anymore and instead go look at boards with my boyfriend.

When someone takes their board into a reputable surf shop like Longboard House, they expect a certain level of craftsmanship and quality to show their work. I on the other hand was very disappointed in the repairs done on my board last week.
The week before Easter, I took an old board of mine in to get some minor repairs done. I was told the repairs would take about 2 days. I called 3 days later and was told the repair guy was busy at a surfing competition, and to try back later. After about a week and a half, my board was finally ready. I was told I would be contacted when it was done, but I was never sent notice. When I arrived at the shop to pick up my board, I was very disappointed with the completed result. I could have done a better job myself. The dings and scratches he repaired were cracking and peeling off and there were several spots that were clearly missed, or that still needed to be sanded.
The only positive thing I have to say is they did a good job on shaping the nose.
I expected my board to look almost brand new and what I got in return was truly dissatisfying. I was charged $ 80 for the so called repairs. A complete waste of money if you ask me. I will most certainly not be going back for board repairs anytime soon.

I have been a surfer for 30 years, traveled extensively to surf camps and locations all over the world. I have shopped in LBH many times. This is a typical «out for the dollar» surf shop. I was shopping for a used long board, they had a «NOE» board on the used rack marked $ 499. I offered $ 400 and the guys said he had to call the boss and see if he would sell it for that.
Boss was unreachable but expected to call back soon. While waiting I went to check the board more carefully. It had multiple pressure dings, which is to be expected in a used board. but closer inspection of the rail and I found a 2 inch crack through the glass. Sales guy said oh I can put sun cure on it.
Well first of all sun cure is for when you are somewhere that you cant have a board repaired properly. Second, they have a lot of nerve displaying a dinged board at all, and for $ 499 is just a joke. I retracted my offer and said Ill pay 300. I did not get the board, didn’t really want it after realizing how careless they were to not inspect a board carefully before displaying it. And if these sales guys are more than part time they should have the authority to make a deal with out the owners approval, or the owner should be vigilant about being available to approve a deal. Or at least someone should be there with authority.
I had always noticed a pretentious attitude in this place, That combined with a hard sell makes me feel like they are just out to get top dollar with out concern for their customers.
Avoid this place for anything but looking at the high priced board selection, then go to one of the small shops near by or Ron Jon’s where they treat customers right with out attitude and surf snobbery.
The good reviews of this place are either friends or employees. Don’t believe them read the bad reviews to get the real feel for this place.

My uncle suggested this place, since he’s not only a local, but also an avid surfer. The guys here are pretty knowledgable. I came in, looking for a rashguard and some surf wax, and walked out a happy customer. Its house brand is made here in the US, which is a big plus, and the employees were friendly. This place also didn’t have that touristy feeling to it like Ron Jon, which is good — I can’t stand tourist traps. There were some touristy trinkets at the register, but it wasn’t out of control. Its boogie board selection kinda sucked, but the selection of wet wear was good.

The owners of the shop were very kind and helpful to my mother, my boyfriend and me. We range from out of practice to novice surfing levels, and we wanted to rent some boards for a couple of hours one afternoon while on vacation.
They picked out three good boards and let us leave our car parked in their lot while we surfed (about a block away across the street) which was awesome, as finding beach parking and maneuvering the boards into the four door sedan would have been a huge challenge.
We had a great time with the rentals, although with the size of the waves (HUGE for central Florida, the biggest I’ve seen, even some of the locals were in awe) we weren’t very successful! Still, we wore ourselves out and had a lot of fun, thanks to the Longboard House rentals. We’ll return next time we’re in the area.

Placed an online order for four t shirts and three weeks later the only thing that had been done was to charge my card. After three phone calls and three emails I finally found out that they had no idea when my order, as ordered, would be available. Suggestion was made that I purchase something else. Very poor customer service on items that were suppose to be in stock. Cancelled my order and requested a credit.

GREAT SELECTION of EVERYTHING!!!
Love this store!

Great store, always stop by when I am in the area.

I like the place but I wish they gave me a discount. Live locally and spend way too much there. Great selection though.

Love this place. Old school surf shop with complete selection.
Very helpful and knowledgeable surfs in the shop. Demos available if you wanna try something new without dropping purchase price first.

This is a cool surf shop that both locals and tourist frequent for clothes, bathing suits, surfboards, and skateboards. The staff is very friendly and if you catch them during a sale you can get some good deals.
Worth checking out if you haven’t been before!!!

Being an avid surfer I am always looking for the one shop that keeps me coming back. Surfers are very partial to there one main shop. So when ever I am headed down to Sebastian Inlet, I make it a point to stop in.
The staff is very in the know when it comes to the sport. I can also attest for this, as the manager is the old shop manager of Hot Wax Surf Shop in NC, which was my local shop. They have boards from beginner boards to high performance to ones that are so nice they will never leave your wall.
Longboard house does stick to the name as if you are in the market for a longboard this is where to go. They carry all the right shapes and shapers as well. They have a great section for clothing and accessories. There price point is average as if it was cheaper than the rest I would have given it 5 stars.
If you are looking for a shop where you can walk in, tell them what you are looking for, and feel that you got exactly what you wanted and were paying for, then this is the spot. Make sure to ask for Randy!

i rented a board there for the day. they pretty much only rent out the epoxy ones. that was great b/​c i had been wanting to try one. it was $ 25 for a half day rental. they were really nice. working with them for the entire transaction was about as painless as it gets. the guy who pulled the board out also broke open a wax block and gave me half for me to use for the day. i thought it was nice of him to throw it in w/​o me asking for it. the place is across the street from the water, so it doesn’t get much closer than that. my friend noticed that they have a huge inventory. and it’s true… when you walk around there is a ton of stuff in there. if i ever go back, i will find them again!
