Kennedy Surfboards

Just bought my first short board helping me for the right width and everything fit for how I want to approach the local waves. So stoked on the board and awesome deal. Check this place out, the staff is very friendly.

these guys are awesome, they’re knowledgeable and just great people

The Best! Great boards and excellent caring staff!

Great place to check out. I was looking for a used surfboard, and had checked several other places in the La area. Everyone in Malibu told me to check out Kennedy’s, so I did. I was super happy I checked it out. The staff were extremely nice, helpful and informative. I walked out with a used board for 215. Beats all the other places I looked in price too. I highly recommend Kennedy’s.

This place is great! I wanted to replace a board I had but still wanted to get in the water during the weekend so I got a great deal on a rental. I’ll be back soon to pick up that board. It looks like they also have a decent used selection.

This is my go to surf shop. Glen shaped my fish and my longboard, and I love them both. I bring in all my boards for ding repairs too. Definitely the best surf shop in the valley.

My favorite Surf Shop.
A tiny bit more expensive, but WELL WORTH IT !!!
The staff are very friendly and knowledgeable. Super cool.
I am new to surfing and everything I have bought here, they take the time to help me select best product possible for my needs.
I shop here first every time.
The staff is down to earth and friendly regardless of skill level. They are even down to just give pointers and chit-​chat when slower.
Good Selection of products.
Definitely a repeat customer and a lifelong fan. They do things right here.

Glenn is the epitomy of a waterman who happens to be an excellent craftsman with surfboards. I used to hear stories of the «yellow van» when I was younger, Glenn was charging on biggest days, still goes to Austrailia chasing that ride.
He offered me some mahi and a beer the first day I ever walked into his shop… I dont drink politly said thanks but Ill take the mahi jerky.
Valsurf? Al Merrick… or the real deal mom and pop shop from the old days when you knew the shaper and saw him in the lineup on his day off.
Glenn has been a friend for years, sold my wife her Uggs, gave us a discount for my daughters’ kindergarden teacher we all pooled our money to get her a funboard and Glenn hooked up Mrs. Jensen.
Thank you Glenn. you always have been there to fix my boards at a good price, hook me up with fins and gear, and a smile. Thats why I got all Kennedy stickers… still waiting to get that session at the «ranch» haha.
SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL BOARD SHOP…

Kennedy’s is the best surf shop in SoCal with the best prices, great service oriented staff. No pressure, just genuine help. Glen, Lee and the staff want to help you get the right board, wetsuit, or other products best to fit you and your needs. I drive in from Pacific Palisades to shop here.

Excellent customer service. Lee helped me get the perfect board and wetsuit. He was respectful and extremely helpful.

Love this place! I needed a complete surfboard overhaul. My board came back basically brand new. This is also the place where my wife buys her UGG boots for a great deal. Its a family atmosphere right when you walk in. Something very rare to find these days.

Very friendly staff. I will recommend this place to all of my friends. I bought three pairs of uggs and they were more than helpful in helping me select the perfect shoes for myself. Already made plans to go back so my friend can get some awsome shoes as well. They were sooo nice and treated me like royalty (even though I made a mess trying on all those shoes) lol. Wish more businesses conducted themselves this way. They get an A+ and a lifelong customer.

My 10 yr. old son got a 2hr. private surf lesson with Kennedy Surf Shop just this last weekend. My son learned and accomplished so much in this one private lesson. Ethan and Lee are great instructors, patient, works well with kids, and most importantly my son enjoyed learning from them. One of the best moments was when my son came to me at the end of the session saying, «I love surfing» which confirms my son had fun. My son can’t wait till next time when he gets to do it again. Definitely money well spent. I highly recommend them for surf lessons. Thank you Ethan and Lee!
Fawn

Good selection, friendly staff (no attitude) and fair pricing. Just like the old surf shops of the past. Comfortable and satisfying. I wait til I’m in the area to buy my gear at Kennedy’s. it’s that good.

Thank you to Kennedy Surf Shop & Glenn Kennedy. You have a customer for life! Went in to look for a board for my 13^th year old birthday! Lee helped us out with design what worked for her ability and price. Glenn called and got some info on design she wanted and he hit the nail on the head with this board! It is beautiful and awesome! She loves it! Thank you so much! We will be coming back for her new wetsuit soon! I have told several people about your store when they asked about her board! It’s awesome! Thank you!!!

Beautiful repair work at a great price! Will definitely return for future accidents
Made the drive from burbank just for it

I bought my first board from here. It’s not a hyped up shop, but more of an under the radar type place. The owner is extremely knowledgable and helpful (he is a veteran surfer afterall). I will always come here for my surfing needs.

Took my 10′ 6″ favorite longboard in for a major overhaul ding repair. While there I bought a 10′ 2″ longboard for a very resonable price. Scott was very helpful and polite. Great store. My new favorite surf shop. Will be a regular customer. Thank you Glenn. Bought my first longboard from you back in the day and now just brought it in for repairs; take care of it brother and be gentle. Thanks brother. Great shop and great employees.

These guys are awesome and very cool. It has a very chill atmosphere and the staff here is friendly. I’ve been surfing for about a year now and still don’t feel confident calling myself an avid surfer «yet.» But I was recommended this shop to buy my first wet suit. Originally I had planned on buying used because I heard that the prices for a suit tend to be pricey.
When I first stepped I went in focused on getting a used wet suit (yes they do sell them) but after browsing through their selections, most of their new wet suits are pretty inexpensive. So no I wasn’t suckered in getting a new one, I spent 150 which is really cheap for a wet suit. No I didn’t buy the cheap material kind either, it was an Oneall.
Now if only I could save up enough to buy a new board, although I heard this shops also sells used boards… hmm, maybe its time to go back again. They also rent boards for those that are just wanting their feet wet before jumping in head on. I must forewarn surfing is kinda addicting, after awhile you will only think about going back into the water. Overall best surf shop in the valley, if you must start, I start here.

Okay… so I’ve got to give this place a good rating.
I’ve never been here for any surf related items…
but…
they have great prices (for the layman: cough cough:) on Ugg boots.
Much cheaper than Nordstrom/​Bloomingdales…
They’re also in the valley… and nice. They’ll try their hardest to get you the size/​color that you want and from my experience, usually pull through.
Also, if you pay in «cash»… they’ll give you an even better deal.
Awesome.
