Sun Diego Boardshops

Check out the upper floor for 50−70% off sales rack. They had a male’s sales rack on the first floor but didn’t see any for women’s. The sales associates were very informal. I know that it’s a beach vibe store, but I wish the sales associates had more professionalism. One female associate wasn’t wearing a name tag so I didn’t even know she worked there. Also, I don’t think there was a separate male and female changing room :(there are changing rooms and it’s right by the windows to a neighboring store (which I’m sure people can see through!!) And the employees only room. Needless to say, things got a bit awkward. I also think one of male sales associate was drunk. I’ll just give him the benefit of the doubt by saying the store was hot and not an drunk cheek glow.
Otherwise, the store is neatly organized.

Taylor and Dane! Thank you thank you thank you! My fiancés birthday is today. Bought her some flip flops and had to guess her size. We’re also off to Cancun tomorrow (6am flight) to celebrate her birthday and our recent engagement. Well… Didn’t guess her size right and we showed up the night before our flight just as they were closing their doors. They were kind enough to hear our plight, and help us exchange for the correct size. These two gentleman went above and beyond. Thank you Sun Diego!!! Extra shout out to Dane for setting down his surfboard and wetsuit to bang on the door to get us helped out. Clutch!

Huge, and I mean HUGE selection of clothes, boards, skater stuff, wet suits, Vans. Tons of staff. Located in Belmont Park itself with similar hours. I was asked six times if I needed help. Priced about right for this type of activewear. A must for anyone looking for this type of activewear.

Crappy customer service. As you walk in they look at you and look away. I was planning to buy some fins and clothes but with that kind of service you could forget it. I passed by at least 4 employees and established eye contact and no one even offered help, greet me or at least put a smile on their face.

Bought my husbands new foam board here last night, and had fun walking the enormous store before the purchase. Not only is there a great selection of merchandise, the employee’s working here were super helpful. Dayne helped us out the most, and really went above and beyond to give us the help we needed.
It’s what you’d imagine from a surf store, the prices are on par with other locations. The reason you should come here is purely based on the size and amount of brands they carry. We came for the board and still left with new sandals, and almost with new swim suits/​outfits! It was hard to say no.
The parking was good on a Wednesday night, though I imagine weekends would be tough even with a lot right outside since it is connected to Belmont Park.

I want to buy the entire women’s section. Great place to find glasses… the flip-​flops are crazy expensive though. It’s a great place to buy holiday gifts for ladies and gents.

Not at all into Skating but the Floor team was awesome! Ask about a pair of barrings for my daughter’s skate board.. They didn’t try to sale me this or that but found out her apx level and even suggested a low coast brand to buy. Spent $ 10 and took the time out to give a good review and a special5 shot out to ALEX… Thanks for being patient with a parent and explaining how to fix the prob, a website…
5 for service alone… And there skater shoes where SICK!!! forgot to check the prices. Lol

My friends always compliment my clothes when I go back home to visit. They don’t have any store like Sun Diego back home, the only thing that compares is Pac Sun, and I am sure we all agree that Pac Sun is a terrible store. I am going back home in a few weeks so I decided I would be nice and bring my two best friends some real, authentic, Southern California clothes. If I want some new gear you best believe I am driving right to Sun Diego. This is my favorite location. I feel like it has a better variety than some of the other locations around the area. I picked out two button down short sleeve shirts, one Brixton, one Element. I can’t wait to fly back home and give them to my friends! They are going to absolutely love them!

Large selection of Boards and flip flops here. They have such cute clothes, it really is hard not to buy too much.
Everyone was helpful but not too overbearing.

Great selection of merchandise very unhelpful staff and its pretty pricey! We didn’t stay in the store for very long because of this! They did have a few racks that had some cool clothes on them that we’re 50% off but nothing caught Dia & mines eye.

When I am looking for a bathing suit I always come to Sun Diego, they have pretty much every type of boardshort you could ever imagine and everything is broken up into different sections my brand. I really love RVCA, so I just go to that section and they have plenty of RVCA shirts, pants, hats, board shorts, etc. The staff is very friendly and is never too pushy. They will come over and ask if you need help, if you do they will help you right out, if not they will kindly walk away and not bother you. They also have a great selection of watches and sunglasses. Anytime I am looking for a new Nixon watch or pair of Oakleys I always come here first to try them on. Parking at the Mission location can be a bit difficult during the summer, however as long as your patient you should be able to find a spot before long.

I’m from north of San Diego, but whenever I have visiting family I love to take them down to mission beach for a day trip. Sun Diego is a local surf shop and skateboard shop that is basically as close as you can get to the beach without being on the sand. The staff is super helpful– last time we visited the toms shoes my cousin wanted were out of stock of their mission beach store, so they got his info and had their online store ship it to his house in NorCal, which was rad. Another thing that I thought would be awesome for tourists is that this store location has surfboard rentals. Overall, great place that i recommend to locals and visitors!

Won’t ever shop at Sun Diego again at Mission Beach. The baby dropped a pair of sunglasses and my wife backed up onto them and they broke by accident. They charged us, oh wait gave us 10% off. So we paid $ 27 for a broken pair of sunglasses. How ridiculous! Don’t take your family in there.

A little place that you can walk along the beach like Seaport Village except more suitable for adults than just anyone. And, this place has rides instead of shops. I’m not a local, so I wanted to discover a place to walk around. Typed it in google and this place popped up. I’m glad I discovered this place. It’s a place for anyone who wants to walk, bike, roller skate or skateboard along the sand.
Tip: Make sure to wear a warm jacket when the sun is not out.

As many times that I’ve been in this shop, I can’t believe that I haven’t reviewed it yet.
So I’ll keep this short and sweet.
I bought a few Sector9 skateboards at this Sun Diego location a few years back. And as crazy as this sounds, I swear by these Longboard Skateboards. The most comfortable, smoothest riding skateboards on the planet. The staff at Sun Diego was very helpful when I purchased them and it helps out a lot when the staff is very knowledgeable about the product they are selling.
I still come here from time to time… buying name brand slippers and shirts, but the first impression I got of this place is the reason why I come back.

Awesome clothes if u rnt afraid to be loud when u dress. Love the shoe selection too. I like the 2 in fashion valley mall tho

The manager at this Sun Diego was nice but then I went back and he is gone, they have a constantly changing staff.
The selection is more of a Nordstrom style surf shop than a real surf shop where you can come in with sand on your feet and get a bar of wax.
The selection of swim trunks is large and well stocked. There is usually no one around to help you, they are either at the register or stocking something but no one ever says «Hi, may I help you?».
I would give this a rating of «C» on a grading scale.
Prices are high. Good selection of skate clothing.

Stopped by here as your truly, the die-​hard city slicker, picked up a pair of flip flops. I’ve always been a sneakers guy aside from India, where I usually walked barefoot.
–My Quiksilvers set me back 25 bucks, I know these will last me far more than any pair I get at a drug store or Old Navy. And they’re way more comfortable since my 1995 Tevas.
–Plenty of swimsuits, clothing and all the surfing accoutrement and at decent prices if you go during this time of year.
Just the right amt of variety and style to make it a cool shop, but has great staff to make a tourist like myself not feel overwhelmed or intimidated.

OK, I admit it. I’m a tourist. I’m trying to become less of one by visiting SD more often, but I fear I’ll never be fully accepted since I don’t live there year round. My dad lives over there in the Bankers Hill area. And my cousins live in OB. Does that count towards my SD local card? Anywho, as a tourist, I get drawn to toursity places. We do the usuall SeaWorld, SD Zoo, and the beaches. Oh man, we love the beaches.
So, when someone from out of town needs some new threads for the beach where ya gonna go? Well, since we don’t know any better, we head over to SunDiego. Now, I tend to frequent Mission Beach so that’s the location we hit the most. However every location we’ve been too has been awesome. The staff is usually on the younger side, but they always take the time to help out us old heads when we are trying to look like we belong. Clean store, clean fitting rooms, great staff. Can’t really ask for much more for from a retail store. (ha, unintentional rhyming is fun). Anywho, if you need some new threads, a new surf, skate or snow board head on over to SunDiego.

I am extremely satisfied with my shopping experience here. This store is far bigger than the other Sun Diego chains around the city and is very well placed for all the incoming tourists to our wonderful beaches. The men’s section is huge, the surfboards are all upstairs, and the women’s clothing has got some of the cutest stuff I have ever seen! 44 bucks seems to be the standard price for anything in here. But I did love the selection and the flop flops were good, but they could have used some larger sizes. But that’s alright. The bikini selection was very picked over and low, a star removed for that; you think being next to the beach it would be well stocked, but that’s alright.
I ended up finding myself some awesome brown reef flip flops with some arch support for flip flop junkies like myself; dropping the money on them was not what I like but they’ll last forever.
Nice selection of stuff though overall. Don’t to pick up your free Monster energy drink, and hit up the Chipotle in PB for your free burrito coupon you earned from the purchase you made.
