If you need a repair on your board this is the first place I would go to, ESPECIALLY if you have an older board or a board with a design. I came in with an ugly repair on my board from another shop. That they didn't get back to me for two months! The owner Franklin was super nice and not only helped me restore the color and design, but he even walked me through all the steps and let me apply the color myself. Had it out that day. Little before and after to show the improvement. Will definitely be back if I ever need repairs!

Franklin did an amazing job finishing a board that I painted. He diligently took into consideration my work and made sure that the coatings he used were compatible with the media I used in the painting. The board turned out beautiful! I highly recommend Impulse. Franklin is very knowledgable in his line of work and is very willing to share his knowledge throughout his process.

Franklin is an amazing dude. I brought in a board I had buckled and was sure it was done. Franklin not only fixed the board but did it in less time than he told me and charged me less. Top notch service and very professional craftsmanship.

I had two vintage surfboards restored, a 1961 Hansen and a 1957 Gordon Smith. Franklin and Grant restored the boards to look like new and I now have them hung up on my wall. Franklin and Grant really care about the job that they do and I feel that the service was outstanding. I would recommend them to anyone I know.

Impulse surf went above and beyond my expectations with a critical fin box repair & top deck large ding . The owner was friendly, knowledgeable . I was invited inside and shown the tight clean workshop where they do it all from small dings to full restoration & rad custom wooden surf racks for the house/garage . The employee behind the counter had me fill out paper work that morning quick brief deposit finished that day notified by phone call . The total came out less than what they quoted as I picked up the following day after work , surfing the next day! When I came in for pick up I was blown away full buffed & clean surf board & even VERY surprised to see that a previous ding that I had repaired in my garage was also sanded & touched up with a little extra TLC . These guys are good ! attention to detail . cool guys . Deff will recommend and point friends in the direction of impulse surf for repairs.

Very disappointed in my dealing with owner Franklin Pierce at Impulse Surf. The facts:1. He charged twice as much to glass my wooden board as three other surf shops. I only agreed to the price because no one else could get it done inside of three months. After making it clear at our initial meeting that I needed this board ASAP to deliver to a client in Manhattan Beach, he said it would only take a couple of weeks. When I called a week later to check on the progress, he hadn’t begun the work2. After encountering several challenges, Franklin began making excuses for not being able to deliver the board in time. He said that he needed to strip the glass and start over, but would be charging even more money to redo what he couldn’t get right the first time. When I asked him just to finish sanding and polishing the board, he insisted upon being paid an additional $200 before giving me my board back unfinished.3. When I took the unfinished surfboard to a ding repair shop in Encinitas who agreed to complete the work for an additional $250, I found out that the work Franklin had done was substandard.4. I returned to Impulse Surf to pick up a bottle of India ink that I had left there, and reported to Franklin my new understanding of the problem with his lack of knowledge as well as with his work. When I proposed that he refund the $200 he had additionally charged for work that had to be redone, he called me a “******* a******** told me to get out of his shop and that he never wanted to see me again.

Impulse Surf did a great job at fixing a buckle I had on one of my boards. The quality of work, price, and turnaround time were exceptional. I highly recommend them for any board repairs you might need.
