Great place to rent surf gear from. Cory and the crew at Whitlock were a highlight of our time in Oceanside. Not disparaging the other surf shops nearby, I'm sure they would be fine, Whitlock just was just on another level with their service and selection. I grabbed a couple shirts when I returned the gear so I can keep the good memories rolling back at home. They have a pretty cool screen printing operation going on also, neat to see up close. Thanks Cory and Crew, I’ll miss you.
