My boyfriend and I walked into the ocean hut surf shop this morning . We were immediately approached at the door by the owner Toni.I felt so weird that I asked if they had any men’s belts he abruptly said no as he blocked the entrance with not another word. I stopped there in awkward silence .. we planned on browsing as my daughter also needed a pair of aqua shoes which I already assumed they would have.but we felt so unwelcome we walked out.We are an interracial couple and he was unable to allow a black man to shop in his store. What owner comes to the door and blocks the entrance of the store and not allow someone to shop there ?? We are a regular couple in our 30s on a family vacation. I’ve been coming to ocean beach my entire life . I’ve never been so mortified.

I've never walked into a surf shop and felt more unwelcome and uncomfortable with my child. He had a bite size cookie left and he was made to finish outside bc of ants (yah ok). Then my son who has autism was just wondering the store and being followed I told the owner he had autism and wouldn't understand anything he is saying to him. Also the 8 employees lingering about that stalk you is horrible. I will never go back! How that place is in business is beyond me. After reading other reviews the owner clearly has a problem with children and you can imagine how bad he was with my special needs kid.

Going to Ocean Hut was one of my favorite stops after the beach when I first started learning how to surf. The staff were always so nice and helpful with our brief encounters and I was scouting out the boards and service knowing I’d likely return this summer to purchase a hard top. One day, though, I felt they were super standoffish, sarcastic, and short with me friend and I, practically pushing us out of the shop because we were beginners. Now that I’ve improved drastically and am looking for a new fiberglass board I’m sad to report that I’d rather not support this local Lavallette business after that experience and I’ll never return or recommend to any of my local friends. All the surfers I’ve met out in the water are always extremely friendly, supportive, and NOT gatekeepers, as Ocean Hut turned out to be the exact opposite of everything as true surfer stands for. Hopefully others have had better service here… Complete arrogance exhibited by the owner, NOT worth supporting!

Great Experience here. The staff was knowledgeable in all aspects of the surf. Had a great selection of name brand surfing attire and more. I will be going back for more gear very soon. Thank You Ocean Hut.

I went in for several gifts and the employees couldn't be more helpful.......... Young girl helped me pick out several cover-ups, nice beach dresses and the right pair of sandal/slippers for my sister's birthday gift - she was very helpful! Wish I bought the dressier but casual sandals I was looking at for myself - maybe I'll go back......... Owner checked me out at cash register and was really kind and then the nice young man carried out my bags to put in my car! Terrific Customer Service! I was VERY impressed!! I hadn't been to the shop since I was a kid! But I'll definitely be back!! ???

Called to ask a couple general questions about purchasing a surfboard for the first time and the guy who answered basically was arrogant, made me feel stupid about asking beginner questions and ended the call with a sarcastic “good luck”. Won’t be going in here to get my first board. Bringing my business elsewhere

I love this surf shop. I have since I was a kid. Now I get to bring my kid there. What sets O Hut apart is the amazing customer service. Everyone is always so nice. I love the new line of kids gear this year too.

Bought my first board there I 975. After 45 years, Tony G still runs the best surf shop around. Top stuff, fair prices and nice boutique others and boards. Shop here and you will feel good!
