Hard to find nicer surfboards than Almond. The founder and his young brother run their quaint shop with great attitude. They have a small line of clothing that complements nicely their surfboards. Their small boutique on PCH is by far one of the most interesting stores in Newport Beach.

Almond has a very unique style to their brand of both boards and clothing. They are very talented in their glassing jobs and color schemes to their boards. They have a good niche in such a large surfing market.

I just recently got a new custom surfboard from almond and I have to say that I’m in love with the results. In regards to their service, Dave and his brother Jeff couldn’t be more helpful. They were really informative and willing to walk through the board design process down to every detail. They said that my board would be ready in 6 – 8 weeks and they had my board ready to go right on the 6 week mark. Overall I can say that I had a really good experience with these guys and the brand’s aesthetic is simply beautiful.

What I like about Almond is that they place the same emphasis on craftsmanship, aesthetic, and function into everything that they make. Whether it is a surfboard or a piece of clothing, it all is cohesive and looks great. I don’t buy something every time I go into the shop but I always leave inspired in some way. I am looking forward to getting my own custom surfboard though very soon!

Ok… so I don’t surf or really know anything about surfing for that matter, but I love this store, the boards are really beautiful and if I did surf, I would want one of these boards. Chad who was working that day was really friendly and explained the basics of the boards to me!

I’m not sure what the right word is to describe Almond but it’s essentially a surf shop with the focus almost completely being on clothes and boards. However, while most surf shops that are more clothes shops house Hurley, Billabong, and the other similar brands, Almond focuses on their own stuff which is nice. There are plenty of similar boutique shops like Almond in the richer neighborhoods of LA and the OC but with Almond being a fashion surf shop, it helps to separate them from the rest.
