Ossie's Surf Shop

Took my 3 kids here and they had a blast! Highly recommend! We did the 2 hour lesson.

I had the best experience buying a surfboard at Ossie's. The people working were incredibly helpful, knowledgeable, and friendly. There was absolutely none of the attitude or dismissiveness I've sometimes found in other surf venues--these folks just want to support people getting out on the water as it's clearly something they love as well. I highly recommend Ossie's!

Went in to get a skim board knowing basically nothing about it and the guy picked up on that, and helped me get a skimboard for a good price and even gave me a few tips on how to use it and apply wax to help my out.

I took a private surf lesson with Connor. Connor showed great enthusiasm for teaching and was able to convey his knowledge of surfing, making for a truly enjoyable experience.

Have rented boards from here and bought my first epoxy board from this shop (that's since seen the world). I highly recommend the shop and dudes who work inside, they give honest advice even if it's not what gets them a rental or sale.

Ossies is a big surf shop with a super rad crew of people working there. They will take care of all your surfing needs.

Large selection of boards, gear and clothing. Lessons available. Friendly staff.

Booked a lesson here while in town and we have zero complaints. The most fun we've had in awhile. Met at the shop, picked up equipment, and headed out. Literally, I'm online looking at surf boards so I can keep going once we leave. Thanks for sharing your passion with us

The guys at Ossie's are the BEST! We are new SUP boarders and needed help loading the board on the car and getting some tips for our adventure. They helped on all fronts and made sure we had all the right gear. The price was right and the experience without a catch. We'll certainly use them in the future! Thanks Ossie!

Very friendly staff! Organized shop. My two girls (12 & 10) took surfing lessons with Konnor and he did an amazing job! They enjoyed the experience and can't wait to go again! their rental gear was great! We are already scheduled to go back and look forward to it.

My wife and I went here to take our first surfing lesson over the 4th of July weekend. We're both Oregon Coast locals but have never surfed. The instructors for the lesson were the best. Super helpful and super encouraging to a couple of people that had never even touched a surf board before. They made it look easy and gave us tip after tip to get better. It was such a great experience and we'll definitely be back to rent our surf gear from here.

Ossies is the best! If you are in town for a little bit and looking for a good time, you should definitely rent a board and go nuts. The rentals are reasonable priced, the beach is close by so you can just walk the board down and you don't have to worry about transportation. The staff is incredible. I would often come in or call with random questions like 'how do I fit my board in my car?' or 'is it safe to surf today?' and they always were willing to help me.

I took a surf class with them a few summers ago and they helped me find a board that was good for me! All good vibes here. I would definitely recommend if you are a novice or seasoned surfer, they've got something for everyone! (not to mention you have them to thank for the Surfline cam on Agate Beach!)

This place is so great! I have over 40 years of surfing experience and I keep learning new things when I go in the shop. The staff is super helpful. I won't be buying my surf gear anywhere else. Great advice and good prices.

Me and my two friends came up here for a birthday weekend and wanted to go surfing. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful and prices were great. I loved my board and was able to stand up on my first day of surfing! Would definitely come back!

This is the best surf shop and the employees are actual surfers. I rented here as a newbie 3 awesome times and then bought all my gear I needed here. Board, suit and everything. Then I took my brother here and he rented. Next time we went he bought all his own gear. You get a discount if you rented that month. The guys are super helpful. By coincidences stayed in the one of the owners multiple Air BnB's in otter rock my first time to Newport. You also get a discount if you stay in the air bnb.

Rented 3 wetsuits for my family. My youngest daughter struggled to get hers off and as a result, we were literally 5 MINUTES late returning them. All the employees and the owner were still there and the shop was open. Because we were 5 minutes late, I was charged a $25 late fee times 3, or $75. I asked the owner if he could make an exception or some kind of deal. Not only would he not, he was a total rude jerk about it! Hope you enjoyed your $75 because I'll never spend another cent in your shop.

This shop is AMAZING! All my life learning to surf has been on my bucket list. I came all the way from Fort Collins, Colorado and guess what?. I DID IT. Within 15/20 minutes I was standing. Thank you so much for the staff making it personal and fun! I did a private 2 hour lesson and Clinton was amazing. Whenever I come back I will be returning. Thanks for the amazing experience!

These aren't surf dudes on a mission to help you have a great surfing experience. They are there to take money from you. Even when they f up, they're not going to refund anything.

Customer service FAIL We start out just 3 guys who have never surfed in Oregon. And we end with one almost drowning/severely injured and the Ossie's shop owners only caring about how much they can charge us for a slightly damaged board. When we got there all we were given was a "tip" from the employee at the shop (that we had to ask for) to "get in by the rocks".

It was later told to us after everything that he meant that to be for another easier beach and that he mentioned it, this was not explained clearly at all to 3 grown men. So in the water; terrified and almost drowned, told them about that later and all they had to say was "glad your ok, but the oceans a scary place, gotta be more careful". They have no insurance you can purchase for the equipment before and while they were checking out the board we overheard there conversation "it looks like we can just fix this" "no don't worry about that, just charge them for the board." And we did get charged for it, BASICALLY the price of a new board! (This was an already used board when we got it, not in pristine condition.

When you rent the board they don't CHECK it either with you for any existing damage before you take it like most normal rental company's would do). My wife was with me as well and was very visibly upset about what had happen before this and the employees were rude and inconsiderate with her concerns about clear explanation before rental processes.

Also side note, my friends who didn't have problems said they went at the end of the day to see if they could change out there boards for boogie boards because they PAID for 24 hour usage and the shop employee said "sorry we closing pretty's soon and I just wanna surf." Maybe I should know better but this was the worst customer service Ive experienced. Hope others have a better experience then I did.

Great place, cool stuff and really cool people. What takes it from an A to an A+ is the music they play:

The gear has seen better days here. My booties had holes in them and the zippers wouldn't wouldn't stay up (no Velcro ankle straps btw). My boyfriends wet suit was riddled with little "repaired" holes and barely-there velcro, and the leash on my board unlatched 4 times because the Velcro had been over used. I mentioned the leash when I returned the board so that the next person wouldn't lose the board in the water, and the kid just said "ok" and did nothing.

I had to end my day early because the leash wouldn't stay on. They should have given us some kind of refund instead of just putting the board back. Good luck to the next person who rents that board!

The instructor Colton was amazing and very patient. However I was dissatisfied with costumer service. They charged extra to my credit card later for the items which I did not sign for. And the communication was not helpful to solve the issue.

Rented me a wet suit with a hole in it. Offered no reimbursement. Had me wash the wetsuit. Why am I giving them money to wash their wetsuit? Then they mischarged card and were unable put money back onto my card until the next day. This was a terrible rental experience.

Rented from Ossie's three times and each time the wetsuits have had either a minor or major tear in them. Solution: go to Pura Vida and rent from them in Philomath or they have a mobile rental truck that goes up and down the Newport area. The first time I rented from Ossie's, I had a rash on my lower abdomen, so make sure you wash the wetsuit before wearing it.

They have the customers wash them out when they are returned, but I have seen several get checked in without being washed. They don't seem to enforce washing them out and they certainly have never/rarely washed the wetsuits themselves. My last time renting, the wetsuit had such a large tear that I just sat on the beach while my friends went surfing.

When we went to go check in the gear, I requested that the wetsuit be taken off the bill and they refused. After a long winded conversation they removed the wetsuit but up-charged me for the surfboard and bootie rentals. Go to Pura Vida in Philomath for your surfboard rentals, they have better boards that aren't water logged, wetsuits that are clean and without holes, and better customer service. Ultimately, buy your own gear because rentals are way overpriced.

So friendly and helpful! I'm not a local and I'm a complete beginner. The staff here is incredibly nice- definitely no coolerthancool attitude.

Ossies surf shop is a laid back, completely welcoming environment. My wife and I were shopping around for new surfboards. We went to every surf shop within an hour drive. Twice. The guys at Ossies went out of their way to answer all of our questions. On multiple visits. With no pressure on the sale, they helped way the pros and cons of each board based on our skill set and how we wanted to ride.

Ill tell you right now they were right. I love my new board. Caught the best wave of my life last night. I can't speak to their rentals, although I did see a group of kids come back from a lesson. They looked stoked and very happy, not "cold and intimidated" as mentioned by another reviewer. Also, "bro talk" will always be a part of every surf shop, for the rest of time. Dude, It's a surf shop bro.it's gunna happen.

Great little surf shop! Rolled in at the right time to get the kiddo signed up for a day of surf school. Super friendly staff and helpful to boot! : Next trip - the three day surf school for only $110!

Visiting home (Portland) now that I live in Southern California and was looking for some surf stickers for my boyfriend and Ossie's Surf Shop was super friendly and hooked it up. Highly recommend these guys! :)
