Christopher Caporali: My partner and I signed up for group surf lessons and we had a ton of fun! We are beginners and our instructor, Ryan, made everyone feel safe and was super helpful. We will definitely be back again!

Stephanie Romero: We did a surfing lesson for 2 and had such an amazing experience with Ryan! Despite conditions being rough, Ryan adapted our lesson and made us feel super comfortable out in the water. We’ll be coming back again!

Kristin Guerra: Rented boards for my daughter and her friend. Great boards! We are still learning and this board was easy to get up on and easy to turn! Going back tomorrow! Great customer service also!

Clare McDermott: Great experience! Will be back next Summer for some more surfing fun!

Julie Schavone: This was my daughters first experience surfing and she had a blast! She did a week long camp at the end of July and the conditions were perfect for learning. The teachers made her feel comfortable and the length of time in the water each day was just right. We will be signing her up again next year!

Mikki Tomlinson: My son has been to NESurf camp 2 years in a row, he loves it! They are always professional and fun!

Kevin Gilroy: This was my son's 3rd summer with Northeast Surfing. He has attended other surf camps but this is his favorite.

Rebecca Lynds: My kids had a great experience at Northeast surfing. They did the week-long summer camp and by the end of the week both were able to stand up on their boards. It was one of the best memories of summer!

Isa 06: Despite it raining and potentially storming day of our scheduled training lesson, owner was transparent about what we would need to do if we had to reschedule and was very willing to work with us on our scheduled hour.We were given a wet suit and a surf board for our training lesson - and the owner helped us understand safety tips for surfing and overall proper technique to stand on the board when riding a wave.I had never been surfing before, but within an hour I was actually able to ride some waves without falling off! Great instructor and great customer service - would recommend.

Taylor Wang: Love it and I did it in my first time lesson!Hope to have longer time next time. very fun experience and the coach is pretty nice

Allison K: My kids had a great week surfing at Northeast surf camp. They were smiling at the end of each day. Would recommend.

Gianna Rousseau: Had a great lesson!! I had only surfed a couple of times before but this was the first time someone taught me safety precautions and proper technique. Definitely recommend!

r sousa: My son is having a great time at camp. Instructors are great and there is a great blend of helping and letting them surf!

SignUp Lenox Signup: Sunday morning group class was great. Took it as a refresher after some time away. Instructor was friendly and very knowledgeable, did a good job working with the four of us on proper foot placement during pop up. Helped fine tune our habits while in the water. Would sign up again…good price for board, wetsuit and instruction. Kiosk location near entrance and showers a plus.

Sarah Stone: The surf lesson with Northeast Surfing was a highlight of my kids’ summer! They can’t wait to go again! Their instructor, Patrick, was so knowledgeable, patient, & entertaining! They loved working with him and haven’t stopped talking about it! They learned quickly and enjoyed every minute of it. Thank you for teaching & inspiring my little surfers!

Rachel Burton: Had an amazing experience here with Amber helping my friend and I get all setup for surfing in a new area. She couldn’t have been more helpful and kind when helping us. Thanks so much and so excited to get out there!

Colin Cavanaugh: Absolutely phenomenal experience buying my first wetsuit with these guys. I am new to the surf world and they hooked me up with all the gear & knowledge to set me up for success. Planning to buy all my gear here going forward.

Alykhan Mohamed: Great people, good gear, and right by the break

Abby Tjie: Unfortunately I had a really scary and terrible experience when trying to rent from this shop. Amber had acted aggressively and was very unprofessional. As I was preparing to receive my rentals, my father had called the shop to inquire about prices, but Amber seemed to have gotten annoyed by the call and began to raise her voice and even used the f-bomb multiple times. After she had angrily hung up, she continued to yell at my mother and I who stood in respectful silence. This was not even an argument, I honestly feel verbally harassed. She aggressively ripped our rental application up in front of us, refusing to rent to us. I'm completely shocked by the experience and will not be returning.

Garrett Warren: Had an amazing experience purchasing my first wing foil board from Ocean House Surf & Skate! I browsed their inventory online and decided that day to check out their selection in person. It's hard to find a local shop with the latest wing foiling equipment. Tim walked me through the things I'd need to get started, and gave suggestions on where to surf in the area. Both Tim and Amber were personable, knowledgeable, and passionate about the shop's sports. Definitely agree that this shop is a hidden gem. The location makes it a great spot to get your gear and try it out. With beaches on both sides, you can always find an on-shore wind (very important for learning).

Jeff Laprade: Local North shore shops were all booked for ding repairs so I drove down to Nahant, brought a custom fish with some cracks in the tail in. I had called prior and they were sure they could have my board back to me, surfable, quick. And indeed they had quick turn around time, along with a beautiful fix and reasonably priced board repair. Very diligent and communicative staff let me know as soon as it was finished. Definitely a place worth supporting.

Andrew Benedick: The crew at Ocean House is amazing. I've now bought two boards from them over 3 or 4 years and couldn't be happier. Tim gives great advice on choosing a board and hasn't steered me wrong yet. Super chill and won't force you into something that won't work for you. He just wants you to be successful.They've got everything you need to get into surfing and to help you progress. Stop by, get your gear and go have fun. You won't regret it.

Fabio D'Ambrosio: Like a hidden gem . Just browsed quickly before getting food at Tides. Has some nice trucker hats in 20-40$ range. Sunglasses in the same rangeSell surf boardsNot sure if they off surf lessons but their was a sign about surf lessons when you first walk in. Will revisit

Kyle W: I recently visited Ocean House in search of a wetsuit, the girl working at the time was very helpful, and gave me some useful advice and found me what I was looking for. She was working by herself at the time, and it was a little bit hectic for one person to deal with alone. It was a beautiful weekend and the waves were pumping, but she managed to juggle the phone and a steady stream of customers all at the same time without neglecting anyone. It was really impressive and prompted me to write this review. Give that girl a raise. The shop was in a temporary location due to construction and parking was shared with a restaurant at the same location. The selection was also a bit limited, especially because it was the end of a busy weekend, but I was able to get what I came for and the prices were definitely fair and reasonable.

Bill Whitsett: Very cool folks. Helpful. Patient. Knowledgeable. And Very cool folks. Shop local. Support your local shops.🤙🌊

Quinn Forman: Cannot say enough good things about this place. The employees and owner know what they are doing; They are truly looking to help you. Went in the other week to find a replacement fin. None were readily available but the owner took out a brand-new set of fins and sold me one. Great experience and will definitely be coming back.

Anne Tashareau: Nice shop. Knowledgeable and very helpful staff. Purchased MF board last Summer. Great "ultralight" longboard and design that doesn't disappoint in moderate/high surf. Considering a paddleboard that can work the small surf days, and will touch base for recommendations.

Caroline McCall: This place is awesome. The employees and owners are super helpful and friendly. They've been encouraging and happy to share tips and tricks for a number of my friends who have gone in to rent and buy gear. They're very available to advise and chat but also give you space to browse. Tim just fixed a ding in my board and it came out beautifully (and speedily), and everyone was efficient and communicative from my email about an estimate to getting my fixed board out the door. Thanks y'all, you rock.

Ana Nenshati: Awesome and helpful owners. They have so much more than boards and surf equipment. I've gotten some great holiday gifts there (tea tumblr, soaps/bath bombs, sunscreen, reusable grocery bags!)

Keith Santos: The staff is very knowledgeable and just great to talk to. They had everything I needed to rent so I could enjoy the waves. The price for rentals was far below what I expected to pay and what I did rent was of high quality. I'm very much looking forward to my next visit.

Yeremi Leonis Tolentino Cuevas: This place is awesome. Cheap prices and great customer service and it's right in front of the beach

Terrence Cullinane: This place is the spot to get your sup on. Surf and skate. Old school boards have arrived. Dayo is the man to ask for. He will suit you to your needs. Very nice

James Annarelli: Excellent customer service

Bridget Cronin: Paddle boards were great, girls working were friendly, but the guy didn't help much just watched a woman load two huge paddle boards with her elderly mom, even after another employee told him to help. Still might go again because of location but just wasn't trying to keep us coming back that's for sure.

Nicholas Curtis: Fin box repair was mint.

Christopher Watt: I've never felt more welcome in a surf shop. Mark and crew are very knowledgeable about all the products they carry, and all the sports they support. Competitive prices and quality of product. Fantastic staff. What a great place! I'll be back for sure!

Brian Hanrahan: Mark the owner is great! He is always up for telling a story or pointing you in the right direction for your next adventure!

C E: Owner does not stand by the products he chooses to sell.

Matt Savage: Mark is very responsive and genuine. Emailed him today about a fin and he replied within the hour. They stock all your surf needs, have an excellent fin selection, and some nice boards from Takayama, RC, and Black Rose.

ryan olsak: Choose this spot over the internet and other local surf shops. Mark and his staff are awesome. Appreciate what he brings to our surf scene here in New England. Always friendly! Always flexible.

Mike Benning: Love the personal service

Alex DMoore: The real deal! Great selection, Knowledgable help and if you LOVE to shop local...this is your place!

James Good: Purchase, ding repair, surfboards, and skateboard it's a REAL surfshop

Tom Val: Good cop bad cop, one owner is a cool guy. The other guy is just a arrogant waste. I would rather order online and wait.

Barry _H: Very knowledgeable and super helpful; easy parking!!! ++++++++++

Marc Boyle: Best place to get any kind of board you need

CA: Lots of boards but...I went in to get a new SUP. The guy behind the counter was playing a guitar. He looked up, said, "hey," and resumed playing. Never offered to help. I wondered around then stood near the counter. He never offered to help. So, I left. I guess I'll spend my money elsewhere.

Jon Jablon: Friendly, helpful, knowledgeable staff, and great product selection. Shortboards and longboards, SUPs, skateboards and longboards, apparel, and accessories.

Justin Schratwieser: Great experience and outstanding customer service

Mario Bailote: This surf shop has the best surfboard/SUP ding repair PERIOD! The Owner is a knowledgeable dude and the store is packed with everything you need!

Diana Barzey: They never update their website the lastime it was updated was in 2013

Bram Van Der Ven: Went here today for a new longboard, on the site it says: we cary original longboards. But when i went to the shop they had only a few sector9 boards and one loaded tan tien board. Nothing special. When i asked for original longboards they didn't even now where i was talking about. This shop is not worth it for looking ( when you are searching for longboards) but it are nice people

Matthew D: Great shop, they carry a variety of gear and boards. I am mainly there for long boarding materials. A lot of Sector Nine and Original boards, a few Loaded. They carry Bern protective gear. Friendly and knowledgable. This is where I usually go when I am on the south shore, support your local stores.

Mark Beb: Ordered a $2000 board on the phone with them in February, they took my card for a deposit. I then called once a month wanting to know when it was going to arrive and kept getting a run around. Well now it's almost July and still no board... Haven't been in the store so I can't comment on that part. I just don't recommend leaving a deposit with these guys if they don't have what you want in stock, they are either shysters or incompetent.

Anonymous: I was in town for the Boston Marathon and decided to get my first tattoo and long story short, I couldn’t have been happier with the outcome. Both Carissa and Ellen were very welcoming and eased the nervousness that I had coming into their shop. Carissa made the experience of my first tattoo a memorable one and I can’t speak highly enough of her and the shop. It’s safe to say that if I ever decide to get another tattoo, I’ll be coming back to Boston visit Wave & Pave. Lastly, the tattoo was exactly what I had in mind and she crushed it!!!Services:Fine line tattoos,Tattoos

Jane Reilley: I cannot even express how much I love this place! Carissa has done 3 tattoos for me 4 for my sister and too many to count for my husband.Besides being an amazing—and remarkably fast—artist, Carissa and Ellen (her mom/ receptionist) are just an absolute pleasure to spend time with.

I’ll never get a tattoo from anyone else.Service:Tattoos

Mikayla Œł: I got a tattoo from here last week and could not be more pleased with the results and entire process! The tattoo artist, Carissa, is so incredibly talented and made my tattoo come to life! I got flowers on the back of my arm and the line work, shading, and colors are so realistic and masterfully done. Carissa was professional, thoughtful, down to earth, and a good listener. I truly felt like I was catching up with an old friend! This wasn't my first tattoo but I still appreciated receiving a small handout on tattoo after-care and Carissa made sure to go over this with me. In addition, Ellen was so helpful and kind throughout the scheduling process. Meeting her in person was even better, she is a blast to be around and you can tell how dedicated she is to making sure you feel welcome. This place is the real deal! I'm already thinking of my next tattoo so I can go back!Service:Tattoos
