“love this place! super great communication and great pricing! bought my helmet from there and definitely looking forward to coming back for more skydiving gear! thanks bonnie!”

“UPDATE AT BOTTOMORIGINAL 5-STAR REVIEWOrdered the Pioneer 2.0 iSUP. Great experience thus far, both with the paddle board and from phone support. Here are some early-ish takeaways:1. The package I ordered comes with the essentials: Board, carbon fiber paddle, leash, bag, and pump. Anything extra is bought a la carte. For example, if you wanted to add a kayak seat to the setup, don’t forget that you also have to have a double-paddle. Isle unfortunately doesn’t sell a double-paddle attachment for the stock carbon fiber paddle, so you’re going to have to opt for an entirely separate paddle. Total kayak conversion price at the time of this post is an additional $250. I see this as a fair price for what you get.2. There is a learning curve when you get your first inflatable. It’s not quite as fast as unstrapping your hard kayak or board and throwing it in the water. The board itself takes ~5 minutes to hand/electric pump, and at least 5 more to get all your gear situated. If you bought a kayak seat, you’ll end up pumping that up and attaching 4 different straps from the back rest to the board. I’m still trying to figure out what the loops are for on the cushion (I’ll update as I continue to learn, but they seem useful).3. I had a minor issue with the valve pin somehow jamming in the down position every time I removed the pump hose from the port. After lots of troubleshooting and re-pumping (with my hand pump), I called Isle’s support line. I was pleasantly surprised to be connected with a representative before I even had time to catch my breath. She walked me through a couple solutions, and since none worked, she ordered me a replacement valve at no cost.I’ll supplement this with another update eventually.UPDATED REVIEW #1:I received the replacement valve in the mail, except it was an entirely different valve. Luckily, I knew that this replacement valve is supposed to be the correct one for the board (and my original valve is not) because my girlfriend bought the same board days after I did.Went through lots of exchanges with support.UPDATE 2:Isle Resolved to my great satisfaction, and I am looking forward to future business with this brand.”

“Love this shop.For the last 4 years I've been buying hats here. Very nice salesperson there all the time. They have some rare hats you don't find in the typical storefront. This was the first shop I bought a fitted hag, they helped me find the right size.”

“This sports and casual footwear chain has all the tools to make you live an experience when visiting one of its stores, many unique and recent models, special editions and they have a large section of themed clothing. If price is not a problem and you like to look fashionable, this is your place. It has transformed a sports fashion business more than just finding sports equipment.”

“Tiene surtido de calzado deportivo y casual a diferencia de otras que están en la misma plaza es recurrente encontrar lo mejores precios de descuento, lo he notado en varias ocaciones . Tienen gorras y accesorios y algunas prendas de vestir . El servicio al cliente es bueno pero puede mejorar . Si me preguntas en donde compro más es en esta tienda .”

“I'll let you know for sure how they are when I finally get a jersey that was supposed to be here weeks ago.Update: Jersey came out great! The poor fellow that does the stitching is back logged causing the delay but it was worth it. Great selection for any fan of any team.”

“I recently started visiting malls again - an activity I used to love to do here in San Diego but had to work hard to overcome some things to get the confidence and desire to go back again. Lids has always been a favorite and the first thing I did after entering the store was to renew my membership, which comes with a sharp discount on all products, either 20 percent on ball caps or 10 percent off on items like jerseys. It's a great service and with the high cost of many ball caps these days, it's nice to have something that at least covers a little more than the tax on the product. There are four or five sports shops at the Westfield Plaza Bonita Shopping Mall. I have to say that they are all good and I imagine that there's some steep competition between them. But Lids has one thing that the others don't. The ability to create designer ball caps for its customers. This makes Lids stand apart from the rest. I won't say it is the number one sports shop at this mall, but no doubt it helps keeps the shop in the running for number one. And as I have had excellent custom designed ball caps in the past at a Lids in Jacksonville, FL, this Lids here in National City did not in any way disappoint! I think I drove the employees crazy as I took so much time to choose a ball cap, but they were all very courteous and lent me the time needed to make a good choice. I wanted to get a Padres ball cap too, but I'll save that for another time - I have two or three already with my few Padres jerseys. To get the best out of Lids, make sure you spend the annual $10 fee to become a member! After two or three hats you purchase, it pays for itself. Also, get on the Lids mailing list as there are times they have outstanding discount sales on ball caps and other gear. I've gotten great team ball caps between $10-$20 in the past when these deals roll around a couple of times each year. I have purchased items at the other sports shops in the San Diego area. But Lids is just about always my first choice when it comes to buying ball caps!Recommend: VERY HIGH”

“This place was super chill. The employees were all really nice, polite, receptive and knew their stuff. I would definitely go to this location before the Parkway Plaza location. The drive was more than worth it.Have a bad experience at other locations? Give this one a try!”
