As legit as a surf shop can be.
Do not believe these one star reviews. It's sad when people go on these sites to sabatoge good local small businesses.
About myself, I was born, raised an grew up surfing in San Diego. I know the industry well and have several friends who are professional surfers, shapers and shop owners. My wife recently took a job in South Boston. Looking to get in the water here, I decided to check out Nor'Easter to get some local knowledge.
I am stoked to have found this place. It really felt like home. The shop is as legit as surfshops get. Honestly, the equipment selection is better than 90% of the shops I've been to in California and Hawaii.
The owner was super nice and throuroughly knowledgeable. The review calling him a kook is a complete joke. There is no way that is a honest review. He took his time with me talking about seasonal conditions, local swell and reccommended equipment. He knows his stuff...
Further, while I was there, three other people came in and he was as nice and respectful as can be. Perhaps the other reviewer caught him on an off day but based on my experience, it's hard for me to believe it's a legit review.
Bottom line is don't let these bs negative reviews sway you. Check it out for yourself. I definitely will be back.…
wetsuits/customer service.
Went in to buy a wetsuit to replace my old one. Guy had such an attitude. I asked if he had a specific type and his reply was not yes, or no, but "we don't use that around here" and "we have the best
selection around"--he was totally snotty about it too.
Went to Luminate in Marshfield and they were all: "how can we help you?" And "let's see what we can find for you."
Bottom line: The guy who owns Nor'easer has a real attitude, if he wasn't so stuck up I would have looked around more. I ended up getting exactly what I wanted from Luminate surf shop in Marshfield. So if you're looking for a surf shop on the south shore check them out instead of Noreaser!!…
