My son's and I came into your shop on R this weekend, I came to check out your long boards, even though there was no surf it was worth the 2 hour drive, I will be back at the end of June to get one, The feel of the shop was Awesom ! My older son said that it was one of the coolest places he had ever been. My dad used to take me and my buddy's to the island to surf, and go to the skate park, that used to be by the water slide on the seawall, So now I want to have that with my boy's, See yall soon !
