Chuck Dent Surf Center

Great local shop, super fun and friendly guys my husband and I have both bought our long boards here, mine most recently.
Love, love, love the new board — perfect for those slow rollers at bolsa and fun in the big stuff too. Will be back for more I’m sure#chuckdent #surfhb

The best surfboards on the planet! Nak is the man and Pat &‘company are great guys. This shop is the place to hit up if you need a new or used stick. Great selection. They also have wetsuits and their unique Chuck Dent wear. Chuck Dent fo life!

bought boards here for years!
Love the guys at Chuck Dent! Great boards, always the best input for which board will work for me. Have bought several amazingly sweet custom boards shaped by Randy Lewis. I think their prices are great compared to the other shops downtown.

It’s what a surf shop should be like. Pat and Mike are great surf consultants! They’ll tell you straight up what’s best. I’ve bought several boards from this shop, and always have great results! If you’re in the area, stop by to say what’s up. They’ll always treat you with great respect

A friend of mine told me to check out this surf shop. He said they had good deals and they were cool to deal with. I went in to see if I could trade in some old boards and look for a new one. They told me they had a one board trade in policy that seemed understandable. I was looking at their WTF (Wide Tail Fish) and they recommended that I should ride that board 8 – 10 inches shorter then your hight. I’m 6’1″ and they said a 5’4″ board should work. After riding it a few times, it took a little getting used to. I normally ride a 5’10″ CI New Flyer. I still felt that the board was about 4 inches to big. I had to ride it to far forward and there was still to much volume. I went back in to see if there was anything they could do about getting a shorter board. I delt with Pat the shop manager. He was super nice and friendly about getting the right board that worked for me. I told him about a friends board that I road that was similar to the one I bought. Pat traded in the original board I bought and made me a custom board. We talked about the dimensions that would work best for that model. I couldn’t be happier with there customer service and what they were willing to do for me. I highly recommend checking this shop out.

If you want to find a local place to buy good surf boards, wet suits, and surfing needs this is the place.

I had a custom board urge to treat myself for my 30^th bday. Been in a couple times to chat with the staff. Pat is an honest and just plain nice guy. He’s got a good understanding of the different custom templates that they are getting into the hands of their customers. I appreciated that Pat listened to what I was looking for out of my next board and didn’t just try to convince me to get something other than what I needed. I got a call 2 weeks later and my board was ready. Can’t wait for my check to come in so I can go pick it up. It came out perfectly and the airbrush makes it look like it should really belong to ME. They have a great selection of used boards too.

Mike helped me today picking out a bag and checking out a board i just bought on craigslist. Super helpful and friendly! I would definitely come back.

This place rocks! I went in to get a board as a Christmas gift for my 10 yr old brother and they (pat and mike) went out of their way to make it the best. Cool atmosphere. Nice people. Great store.

Though informative, this location is mostly filled with tourists and surf hippies acting as though the larger-​named companies of surfing on Main St. ruin the sport.
i’ll leave that one alone…

chuck dent surf center in huntington beach… is and i stand corrected… i believe. one of the first surfm shops in oc. i always thought the frog house was the oldest. theyve been open for about (here i go dating myself again) 5o years… but seriously chuck dent is one of the originals. i know when you go in there you can expect quality… staff with knowledge… their prices can be a little high… but then so was my car. but you get like i said good quality craftmanship knowledge… that is way over the top. tim stamp works there… what more can i say? chuck dent has been around as long as me… and that is saying something… very cool deb

Great place to buy a board. Pat is super friendly and patient in helping you pick a board that’s right for you. Good selection of boards new & used. Check it out!

Pat is the kind of surfer you wished the line up were made of. I described what I rode, where my ability was, and what I wanted, and Pat helped me find a primo board. You always have to be sketchy about surf shops, but this is top notch.
From the first paddle out, I knew that Pat knew his stuff. I ended up on a board that does ballet, and I’ve never been happier. Other shops will just sell you some overpriced crapstick for the sake of profit, but this is where yu should go if you want to meet people that want you to become a better surfer.
I don’t like to give places 5 stars, because I can always imagine how they could be better, but this place… well, go down and check it out!

Need a board? come down and see Pat!

A true «mom & pop» establishment, totally dwarfed by it’s huge neighbors of Ripcurl, HSS & Jack’s, Chuck Dent ekes out a niche living in a tiny corner space of Surf City. You won’t find the super selection available amongst it’s wealthier surf family but if you look, you just may find what you’re looking for. I happened to find a new set of split toe booties for $ 20 where the big boys wanted $ 50. As the «Eye» of their inner sanctum sees from the back door, you just may spot the deal you’re looking for.

Great Selection of Boards – Even Used!
HB has a ton of surf shops. I like coming in here just to look around. It is pricier than others, but you can save time by coming in. Plus, everything is pricey near Main Street. My board is old and beat up like me. It might be time to buy something new. Maybe even a hybrid or fish tail.
This place has selection and the staff is great. They know their stuff. I will probably buy my next board here. At least I will get my questions answered and something good. If you are looking around, this is definitely a place to check out.
