Safari Surf and Sport

Randy is a genius when it comes to surfing. He got me set up with Ray Moss and helped me get the perfect board for me. He also talked me through what I want out of a surf board and how to make the most out of surfing. I was a pain in the butt to work with, but I can honestly say everything he’s suggested has worked. If I lived closer, I’d pop by more often, but give his shop a visit. If you want to get the best advice on making surfing as enjoyable as possible, Randy is your guy and Safari Surf is your shop.

Such a neat shop with tons of Hawaiian goods. It’s super easy to find this shop since its right by Walgreens, Bank of America and McDonalds on De Soto & Devonshire. It’s pretty big inside and well stocked with all kinds of surf and skate goods. There’s a skate station where they do fixes and repairs. If you ordered a board online and you need to assemble it bring it into Safari, it costs only $ 25. If you purchase a skateboard from Safari Surf they give free maintenance and repair for the entire life of the skateboard.
There’s an entire room dedicated to a huge surf board collection featuring new and used boards in all different sizes, shapes and materials. I love all the artwork around the store and they definitely have a lot to offer beyond surf and skate supplies. This is the only store I’ve seen that carries Locals, a sandal only found in Hawaii.
Bought a Surfing Monopoly for my sister in Hawaii, can’t wait to gift it to her for Christmas. I recommend Safari surf shop to anyone who is interested in skating or surfing or who needs to pick up any supplies to fix their boards. Very pleasant shop that’s family friendly and has something for everyone. This is one of the few surf shops I consider authentic, all the other «surf» shops are actually just clothing stores.
Tips: private parking lot available as well as plenty of street parking. Accepts cash and credit card.

Absolutely the best place to by a board. The customer service is fantastic and the prices are reasonable compared to most places. I would definitely recommend this place.

My son I and walked into Safari Surf and Sport last night to purchase his birthday present and was pleasantly surprised how friendly our salesman and the owner were. Quality merchandise, we received a good discount. was a pleasure to purchase from them. Will be back!

Randy at safari surf and sport is such a friendly guy! He greeted me when I came in to check out the shop, and I can tell he loves what he does because he has put together great displays and a shopping experience that is fun and exciting. Come here for all your surfing and skating needs and you’re guaranteed to enjoy your experience and probably get some freebies if you ask. 5 stars well deserved!

Just a hop and skip away from my work out here in Chatsworth. Went in for a helmet and pads so I could get to skating with my boy at home in Culver City.
Randy (the owner) rules. Talks the talk and walks the walk – there’s even old pics of him back in the fat-​free ‘70s, shirtless and shoeless, pulling off those old tricks that started it all.
It’s always the best to meet people who have a passion for what they do. It doesn’t always happen when I go out shopping, but when it does, that’s when I take the time to write about it afterwards.
What could’ve been a quick and easy cash-​and-​carry transaction turned out to be a great conversation about everything from skate equipment to board types and father-​son relationships. If I had a longer lunch break and he didn’t have any other customers we could’ve easily gone on for the rest of the afternoon.
Randy knew everything about everything on the shelf and was sure to point out the benefits and shortcomings of each product. In the end, I walked away a happy customer, 100% satisfied and already planning what to buy on my next visit.
Having been born and raised on the Westside, the valley has always been hell for me in the summers, but Randy’s li’l shop is a slice of heaven. Check him out.

Randy the owner is one of the coolest guys you will ever meet. Walking through the shop, you feel like your at a surfing museum, with so many cool pieces of surfing history throughout the shop. The best part of Safari Surf and Sport is Randy, he takes so much time and is so knowledgable of all the equipment and products. If your in Chatsworth and your looking for surf gear check out Safari Surf & Sport.

Visited Friday night with the owner and good friend and Unilocaler James R. This is a new location for this surf shop that has been in business for over 25 years. Randy the owner is on site everyday and is helpful and knowledgeable for all surfing and skateboarding questions. The new location is laid out better and is nicer. There is a wide selection of surf boards, wetsuits, clothing, accessories, and skateboards and equipment. Also for non-​surfers, the store is a bit of a museum with lots of memorabilia, nice gifts, and plenty of vintage items as well.
Randy also hosts once a year a surf board swap meet and has live music, food vendors, and plenty of used boards and wetsuits, and to buy. If you are thinking on getting into surfing this is a must visit event. When you ask? This month, on Sunday ¹⁄₂₆ in the morning 6AM to 1PM.
I sometimes hang out here at lunch and plan the weekends surf trips.
