BC Surf and Sport

Great service and no attitude from the young staff to this old gray haired guy looking for some cruise wear.

Not a bad place, lots of good snowboarding gear as well as skate stuff, very wide selection of snowboard gear which is mainly why i visit this place. Definitely one of my favorite places to go to if I am looking for snowboard stuff. The staff here will help you out and are friendly. The women’s gear selection is a bit limited though. After writing this review, I might stop by the shop to see about picking up some of last seasons gear for cheap, I’m starting to get the itch for the season to start. I would also recommend this place over ski and golf any day.

This place is awesome. Has been one of my favorite stores since I was a kid and still is. I recently went in to buy a new snowboard and had already done my research and had it narrowed down to a few. The sales guys are very knowledgable about every single product they sell and have tried most of them. They really helped me feel awesome about the NS I eventually bought. Gave me a discount on some new bindings and told me to bring it back for a free wax after a few early season riding days.
While I was there, a kid was there buying pretty much one of everything to try snowboarding for the first time that ran out of money. One of the guys that worked there happened to have an older board in his car he was going to get rid of and gave it to the kid which blew the kids mind. Mounted his bindings on it and everything. Good karma should always be heading these guys’ way.

I have been searching everywhere for a particular snowboard and have had zero luck, can’t even find the size I want on the internet. Was in this area on business and stopped in to try my luck. They not only had the exact board that I was looking for in the size that I wanted, but had some other great choices to compare as well. I was able to get the board I wanted at a price lower than I could find anywhere else. The staff was extremely helpful in explaining the subtle differences in the boards that I was considering. On top of it all I am from Wisconsin and didn’t feel like dealing with taking a snowboard back on the plane with me, they offered to ship it and even hold it for a couple days before sending so that I can make sure and be home to receive it. Overall this store has the best selection I have found anywhere and a very helpful staff to assist in navigating all the choices.

Chris J is obviously ill-​informed and not a Colorado native. BC is the original skate and snowboard shop of Denver and is nothing like Zumiez. BC was one of the only places you could buy skate and snow merchandise before skating and snowboarding were cool –I bought my first skate complete at BC (SW plaza) in ’92.
Also, Chris is clearly not a member of the «local community» since BC employs more «local» skate and snowboarders than any other independent shop and, since Denver is a small town and with a even smaller community of people who work in this industry, most people know each other. Anyone who claims BC lacks «local spirit» has no idea what they’re talking about. In other words, Chris J is a poser (look at his cool tags)
If you want widest selection in Snow, Skate and Surf, BC is you place. I’ve been a loyal customer since ’92 and recommend it to anyone, core to novice, looking for good products with great customer service.

Always get my boards through these guys. They have always been helpful in selecting the right gear for my needs. The only thing I would say is, the checkout can be pretty slow at times. Typically this is due to customers rather than the staff itself.

I came in the store in desperate need for beach vacation wear for a sailing trip in the BVI’s in February. They had a large selection (even though it was winter) of great brands like Roxy, Billabong, Volcom, etc. I got everything I needed for my vacation and the staff (Brian?) was very nice and helpful. I wish their prices were a bit more competitive but I was in a bind!

I was in search of some good quality, inexpensive snowboarding pants and couldn’t find anything that I liked. I ended up at BC after wandering through Powder Daze, Ski Rex and SNIAGRAB and finding nothing. I found a pair of Burton snowboard pants from a season back marked down from $ 180 down to $ 49!!! You can’t beat that!
I love skateboarding and snowboarding and BC is one of my favorite shops to go to!

Great products, good service by knowledgeable staff. All and all a good experience. Me and my family recommend BC. We hit them up all most every season when going to CO.

Typical franchise store feel & high prices. The best thing about these types of franchise stores is they have a pretty big selection of items so you can go there, try on and check out items and then score what you are looking for much cheaper on line or at a ‘real’ local shop. And you don’t have to deal with the attitude of the ‘dude’ behind the counter that acts likes he’s doing you a favor by even acknowledging your presence in his too cool store.

I really like BC. They’re not quite up to my impression of Colorado Ski and Golf as far as service and knowledge, but they’re right up there. These cats know their stuff and unlike Chris J, I think all the employees I’ve ever run into here are passionate about riding and skating. I’ve bought skateboards here, had trucks changed, bought snowboards here and talked through the purchases with employees. Overall, this place is great since they carry my brand of snowboards, (which Colorado Ski and Golf doesn’t) and the place I get most of my snowboard vids to get my stoke on.

Regardless of what Chris conspiracies are I am a real person. Also, the people whom work at the store are real people. They have real jobs, have real hobbies and have real passions. They may not work at an independent shop, and the shop may lack some of the personal idiosyncrasies and flavors of an independent shop. However, they did a great job setting up my first board and bindings. They offered good advice and gave me a good discount on last years models. I can’t complain.
I have seen far worse from large chains. Often times local management determines the success and failure of each franchise. In the case of this business I can say that they met my needs and I am happy.

Chris’s comments above are more or less… retarded. Wal-​Mart thrives because they buy cheap products and sell them for a little over production cost. I don’t see any of that at BC Surf & Sport. The selection is amazing and while some items may be out of stock at times, how many «small rider-​owned» shops do you know carry the same stock and keep it around (even during off-​seasons)? It’s June, I have off-​season snowboard training in Oregon, and they have Oakley lenses that I need.
I love this shop and will continue to go here. Bravo for commercializing the skate-​snowboard-​surf industry so that customers have a brick-​and-​mortar option to buy (and try) the best gear, even during the off-​season when prices drop.

This place has tons of skate and snowboarding stuff. The BEST time of year to catch them is right before school starts. They typically start their sale before anyone else. At the promo event, their are a lot of reps and very helpful people. During other times of year, the enthusiasm level gets a little flat.
The place has a lot of skate/​snow clothes. Most of which are a bit high for my taste. But still overall, a cool place to check a lot of things out.

Best Snowboard Shop. Huge Selection. Tons of Variety — lots of great colors & patterns & brand selections for outerwear. Lots of Boards & Boots. Staff is friendly, chill, and very helpful /​knowledgeable. I like that they don’t work on commission, and as far as snowboard /​skate shops go (and can be), these guys are easy on the attitude (as in, they don’t give you attitude if you don’t walk in there sagging your pants & looking like ALL you do is snowboard/​skate — this is important to me, since I don’t look like a «snowboard chick» when I’m not on the mountain. Though, I have been riding since I was 11 years old, and once did fit the typical «snowboard/​skate chick» profile [see my pink hair photo from when I was 13].) ;)
Personal anecdote for the day:
I just called them a few mins ago, as I’m shooting to buy some new boots since I’m always complaining about my old Northwaves and lacing them (they’re decent boots, but I HATE lacing my boots — and always have). I’m looking at some 32 Boa self-​lacing boots, and want to buy them on sale. The dude was super friendly, super helpful, went to check on my size AND said they’re already on sale (I don’t have to wait until August). They were out of my size 8.5, so he even offered to track them down at another store. Can’t beat the friendliness, or their helpful customer service. Love it. (Now I just need to find a spot for this expense in my new budget, or better yet, convince my dad to buy them for me as an early Birthday present!) ;)
