Rincon Design

Cool surf shop. They close early. We got there 20 minutes before closing and you could tell the «kids» were JONESing to get the heck out of there! A darling trio of kids work there. One guy and two gals.
I quickly picked my cement cross adorned with shells as my Carpinteria souvenir. Grabbed a purple hair tie and handed them to the fella to ring me up. He asked if I would like it wrapped. I said yes. He wrapped it and then I added a green customized handled reusable bag for $ 1.99. The girls were playing with their hair.
The selection of goods in this store is pretty awesome! Loads of great brands and super fun selections for the kiddos.
It will be nice to shop there when I have a little more time.

This is one of our go to stores when we hit Carp. Sure, they have some ridiculously priced items… and so does every other surf shop. Still, they have a good selection and its fun inside. I almost always find something I like/​want and even enjoy popping in when I don’t.

Great surf shop with plenty of boards, accessories, and modern surf and skate clothing.
I came by here this past weekend to get wax, and found the place to be the perfect place to visit in the sleepy town of Carpinteria. While I always wanted to visit the town, I found the young woman at the store to be extremely helpful in guiding me to pick the right wax (Zog’s Eco Box Sex Wax at $ 1.85 isn’t bad, but not great) for my board. She even gave me a quick layout of the town, since I stated I wasn’t from around there. I checked out the rest of the store and it rivaled the cleanliness and organization of some of the other prominent (non-​commercialized, owned by large conglomerate) surf shops I’ve visited like Harbour Surfboards.
Their selection of wetsuits, booties, rashguards, and short boards is quite plentiful. As for their surf skate clothing collection, it’s even bigger. They carry all the major brands like O’Neill and Volcom at reasonable prices. So in other words, their inventory is large for what appears to be a small shop. For a surfer, boarder, and general beach goer, they have a good set up anything you need to get onto the water.

Great little store with an excellent selection of ladies beach/​boho style clothing. Stopped in here while on vacation to browse and found a couple of really cute pieces. Would have kept shopping if the budget allowed. ;)

Just had some really bad customer service! Rincon was selling my fiberglass surfboard and trading me for a rental foam long board. They sold my board. I went to pick up the other board and the bottom was crunched, the fins were all loose, there was sand and tar all over it, and then to top it off … she took the leash off that was on it and told me I would have to purchase one … although I left the leash on the one they sold for me. When asked if she would throw that in since the board was damaged … she said no.
Not impressed!

I enjoy this local surf shop but their prices are not competitive with other local surf shops and online stores. They always have friendly staff, but they don’t carry too many options for my size. Order a large every now and then :)

Best clothing/​surf shop in Carp if not SB! They have a huge selection for both girls and guys, lots of great iteams on clearence when they get new items in, they have great items such as reef sandals, sanoks, sun glasses includeding raybans! Tons of beach wear and boards to buy/​rent and wet suits. They have lot’s of Matt Morre get up which is cool! Overall great place to come for new get up!

I was in here over the weekend. The guy or should I say BIFF who works here was cold to me. he ONLY likes locals.
