“Thoroughly enjoyed my course with Lee and BestCoast. Learned so much and feel that there was noticeable improvement in my skills each day. Loved the emphasis on creating a kayak community and look forward to next time!”
“We’ve been customers for over 30 years and keep going back! After the sale, it’s the service that counts and Vintage provides that! From a superior brand (Sundance) to accessories like our cover and, when needed, technical expertise we get the best from Vintage. Lance the technician is knowledgeable and friendly. He recently visited us on-site to repair a panel, getting our tub up and running again. Thanks Grant for keeping us soaking, year after year!The Webbs”

614 Johnson St, Victoria“I have consigned and bought from Grove and it’s my go-to place for outdoor gear! Great selection, fair prices, and is a really nice addition to the consignment community in Victoria!”
“Great customer service here, specially given that it is the city's main (perhaps only?) dedicated racquet sports store. Special shoutout to Carlos who has been incredibly helpful when stringing/demoing/purchasing racquets and very generous with his time when educating me about their products.My only criticism is the FINAL SALE return policy for items on sale as I think it has prevented me from making a few shoe purchases here, but this qualm is definitely not enough to deduct a star.”
“On my way down island to play at westhills, my son decides to tell me he needs his skates sharpened. I dropped in to see if I could get them sharpened right away as the game started in 25min!! The staff were right on it. I was walking out the door 10 min later with perfectly sharpened skates. Huge Thank you!!”
“Always a great experiance when I go into the store. Friendly staff, knkw their stuff which is great. Always willing to spend as much time as you need to explain the pros and cons of gear and don't push items. All in all an awesome store.”
“We got a few things there. One item needed to do an alteration. Got it bacl and was not at all impressed with the job done by the seamstress . I could have done a much better job doing it myself. Something was done that I didn't asked for and now I have to undo what was not requested. But quality of the products and customer service are both excellent. If you need alteration on your clothing, take it to a professional.”
“After going to 6 competitor stores in search of the perfect raincoat, I decided to give Arc a try. I was hesitant due to the price point of their items. Not only was I being helped every step of the way, I never felt rushed. The employee who assisted me took the time to offer different styles and sizes, as well as layering options to ensure a perfect jacket.After finally narrowing down my top pick, I decided to wait on purchasing right then and there as it’s quite an investment.After about a week of pondering, I came back and the same employee greeted me and swiftly brought over the same jacket options I had been contemplating.Overall, I am extremely pleased with the customer service I received, as well as my new rain jacket. I look forward to adding to my outdoor gear collection here at Arc. Thank you ?”
“I needed 2 items on very short notice and Ellis Dancewear provided both. They are helpful and knowledgeable and I was so grateful for their assistance. Highly recommended.”
“Amazing service and advice on footwear. Been having pain in left foot and physio recommended getting new running shoes. This place knew what I needed and the people I talked to were super friendly and convinced me to switch to a different shoe that I didn’t think I’d like. Been running smoother, faster and pain has gone away as I train for the race.”
“I attended to Coastline on June 14.2023 and Mike Redpath (pillar in surfing community for close to 30 years) helped find me a new perfect fit winter suit .No thrills , no gimmicks , no up-sell.. just straight up knowledgable man .I returned june 16.2023 and had 3 line staff help my wife and i buy a long board , board bag , gloves , boots etc all while keeping our 13 week baby mini shepard "Bear" occupied as we shopped. I dont know how else to compliment a store , its owner and its staff for such great experiences ? service and product knowledge . I will never order surf gear online again.Regards ,Scott Buckborough”
“A very professional lady on till had to deal with a questionable client handled it perfectly wasn't rude to them ether would recommend at least checking it out”
“Lovely shop, well-stocked and the staff are very helpful and friendly. I bought some quality ballroom dance shoes and the staff were great, not pushy at all and very knowledgeable. I am so grateful for this gem of a shop!”

616 Yates St, Victoria“Went into warrantee a few items and had awesome customer service in helping me fix a couple holes I had made in my jacket and ski pants. Took a little bit to get my puffy back from repairs but they did a fabulous job at fixing the wear I had accumulated over the 4 years I have had the puffy for so far (big yay for stores that support the longevity of their product :) ). Sure its pricey stuff (what isn't these days) but the elementsinc. website always has sweet deals that make it more affordable for me (got their highest end ski jacket for 60% off last year!!) and all my gear has lasted ages! Thanks Elements/Patagonia Victoria!”
“Carlos helped me today while deciding on running shoes for an upcoming half marathon. He was incredibly kind and helpful. The young guys working on cash were also very kind. All around great experience and great customer service.”
“Can't say enough good things about MEC staff. Always so incredibly helpful, patient, easygoing and personable! Today Skippy and another staff person (Skippy would know who I mean but I didn't catch their name!) spent the longest time helping me out and were hilarious and personable all the while. Thanks a million”
“Been here a few times to buy gear for hiking /camping. The workers on the atmosphere side always help a lot. You can tell they enjoy their job and go the little extra to help out. You definitely feel it.”
