Brawner Board

My husband and I booked a lesson with Norm for an hour paddle board lesson this morning. Norm was extremely accommodating in starting earlier than usual, and he showed up early with a great smile.
From the beginning of our communications about 3 weeks prior, Norm was super helpful and friendly.
He was very knowledgeable and walked us through everything with our boards.
The water was fairly choppy, but he showed us how to read past the swells in front of us to see what was coming from afar.
He had a very relaxed teaching style and made our morning absolutely perfect.
We look forward to renting boards and taking our friends back for a lesson with Brawner Boards.
Thank you so much!

My friend and I came here to rent SUP boards for my birthday, based on a recommendation from another shop. We went in and asked the guy behind the counter for boards. «Eehhhh», he said, «have you ever done it before?» My friend said yes, I said «no, but I snowboard and have surfed, which I know isn’t the same, but should help.»
«Weeelll,» he said «if you break the fin it’s $ 100»
Us: «ok, we don’t intend on breaking the fin».
Him to my friend «do you trust her out there?»
My friend, «yes…»
Him «let’s go look at the waves»
…no waves…
Him, «just so you know, if there is any damage it’s $ 100»
This kindof went on for a bit. We left and went to a place in Dana Point which turned out to be awesome.

Just rented a SUP for an hour for my boyfriend (I own my own SUP) and Sam was AMAZING! We almost got chased away from our little adventure by another SUP rental, where they treated us like we were just completely empty headed and didn’t even understand the ocean was wet, but we decided to get a second opinion. Thank goodness! Sam was super knowledgeable down to the water temperature, the swell, and even tips on how to get past the surf easier. We will definitely be back tomorrow for more fun! Thanks Sam!!!

Super nice and helpful. They have some good looking boards too! I gotta go back. Good prices too!

Was out at Oak and into some great surf when my old leash broke. I had been in the store before and the owner was very helpful. And he was again. So much so I bought 2 leashes. Thanks for the great deal! Ps he has some very nice boards! I will be back to check them out. But I had to get back in the water and get some more waves. Thanks for making a great surf session possible.

I’m from Seattle and used to live in LB. this place is rad, the person who was working there was very helpful on our rental and was great to our kids. Great place

We live about 100 yards from here and decided to try and rent a board for my girlfriend. Figured a new store in town would want business.
Only guy in the store is on his cell phone for 5 minutes. No worries we are laid back. He finally gets off his phone and my girlfriend asks him about rentals. He does not even look up at her and says the prices are on the flier on the counter. Really? Then we still check out the prices and they are really expensive compared to competitors. In addition to that, other stores in town say hello and treat you with respect.
This place will not last and we will not be back.
We went over to CA Surf and Paddle and they were friendly, knew their business and even went and checked out the conditions with us. That is service.
